Digi-Key Corporation Selects LocoLabs as a Design Services Provider

Brad Hoffert, co-founder of LocoLabs, says:

“Digi-Key’s emphasis on absolute best customer service complements LocoLabs’ reputation for high-quality, rugged-yet-elegant hardware designs; rock-solid software; and professional project management.

Digi-Key's vast inventory, excellent order-entry system and extraordinary logistics have definitely contributed to our success. For example, we once met with a potential customer on a Thursday afternoon and were so impressed with their product idea that we decided to order rush parts overnight from Digi-Key and create a rough-but-demo-able early prototype by the following Monday. Impressed, they "signed on the dotted line" and set out that same week to raise seed money based on the prototype. In the following months, we worked with them to refine their idea into a shippable product. We took it to volume production offshore, while they took their company public. That's a pretty impressive result from a quickie over-the-weekend prototype! Digi-Key excels at rush fulfillment as well as volume inventory management."
