When outsource is the way: Merixstudio & Farmdroid

00:03 → 00:04

My name is Alex.

00:04 → 00:08

I work in FarmDroid, back in Denmark.

00:08 → 00:11

I work as the Head of After Sales Services,

00:11 → 00:15

meaning that I am sort of the I am responsible for

00:15 → 00:17

all activities post sale.

00:17 → 00:21

The product as it is nowadays and as it has been since

00:21 → 00:26

eighteen is essentially an autonomous robot,

00:26 → 00:30

a freewheel product that we use to

00:30 → 00:32

map a field.

00:32 → 00:36

The robot then generates a set path around the

00:36 → 00:40

field and it essentially goes around this path and

00:40 → 00:43

seats the seats in very specific locations.

00:43 → 00:46

So it basically takes care of this entire process

00:46 → 00:50

that would otherwise contain a lot of manual labor.

00:50 → 00:53

In FarmDroid, we are really good at some things.

00:53 → 00:57

I mean, are really good at designing mechanical products,

00:57 → 01:00

we're really good at designing the software that's in it,

01:00 → 01:03

we're really good at a bunch of different things,

01:03 → 01:06

but of course, there are things we aren't that good at,

01:06 → 01:10

things like creating web pages or creating apps or

01:10 → 01:12

whatever third thing it might be.

01:12 → 01:15

Outsourcing things that are outside of our core business

01:15 → 01:19

is, I mean, it's it's a huge strength and and the the

01:19 → 01:23

ability to to be able to tell when should I keep this in

01:23 → 01:26

house and when should I be able to outsource it.

01:26 → 01:29

I mean, knowing that will save a lot time and save a lot of resources.

01:29 → 01:33

We took it more on the on our gut feeling.

01:33 → 01:38

We got a lot of references from former collaboratives with Merixstudio,

01:38 → 01:42

got some of the reviews that are posted on different sites

01:42 → 01:45

and and from what we could tell and from what we heard from

01:45 → 01:48

from other former collaborative partners,

01:49 → 01:52

I mean, Merixstudio just see seemed like the correct suit for us.

01:52 → 01:56

What Merixstudio has been capable of is basically to look at what we

01:56 → 02:00

are saying, understand not what we are asking for,

02:00 → 02:03

but what the idea behind what we are asking for is.

02:03 → 02:06

In that way they've been able to sort of understand our needs

02:06 → 02:10

and our processes to develop a product that's correct for us

02:10 → 02:13

rather than just do what we say because that would in no way

02:13 → 02:17

have been a product that's nearly as good as the one we've gotten.
