FAQs

What do you need from me to quote my project?

Well, what do you have?  In all seriousness, we are prepared to put together a quote based on as much or as little information that you can provide.  Of course, the more details and documentation you share, the sooner we will be able to provide an accurate quote.

How quickly can you provide me a quote?

We will review the information you provide.  Frequently, we will have some questions based on our review.  Once we get all of our questions answered, we can, usually, submit a quote within 3-5 business days.

I have a project that needs more than electronic engineering. Can Arira help?

Arira is an electronic engineering company, but we have a partner network that can be called upon to provide additional services.  This network includes mechanical engineering and industrial design, software and firmware engineering, manufacturing management, contract manufacturing, as well as other services.  We have worked on hundreds of designs with our network, so rest assured, when we engage them on a program, the engagement is a cohesive effort that results in an optimal experience for our clients.

I am interested in some of the services provided in your partner network, but I’m really looking for a one-stop shop. Does Arira provide this service?

Yes!  As part of our flexible business model, we’re happy to help you engage with our partner network in a business relationship that works for you.  If you would like us to manage the entire project, we can do that.  If you prefer to have separate contracts with each company, we’re fine with that as well.

What happens if I have issues with my product after the project has been completed?

Arira’s success is dependent upon our clients’ success and satisfaction.  On many projects, we budget time to support our clients after the final deliverables have been provided.  Even if we haven’t accounted for post-project support, we encourage our clients to reach out to us with any questions.  We’ll work with you to put together a plan.

Do I own the design files at the end of the project?

Yes, you do.  We are providing a service, so the end work product is your intellectual property.  On occasion, we engage as a turnkey product provider, meaning we manage not only the design, but the manufacturing, test, and all of the other logistics which generate a finished good that can ship to your customers or sales channels.  If this business model is of interest to you, let us know.

How much do your services cost?

Hourly pricing and overall costs vary from project-to-project. During the quoting process, we’ll assess your requirements, and ensure that the appropriate resources are applied. Please see our Solutions page.
