Small Batch production

Smart production in small batches.

There are many reasons to produce your product in small batches. Most contract manufacturers are only interested in large quantities. Pilotfish helps companies bring products to market without requiring large production volumes from the start.

Why produce in small batches?

Larger batch sizes usually mean a lower product price, as NRE, tool and overhead costs are divided across more products, with lower raw material prices and higher yield rates.

‍

But TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) and TTM (Time to Market) matter too, making small-batch production the right choice in many situations.

Lower Upfront Investment

Product Flexibility

Faster Time to Market

Reduced Inventory Risk

Cash

Large batches reduce the unit price, but require more upfront investment in components and stock. Small batches help preserve cash while testing the market and developing sales channels.

Speed

When time to market matters, there may be no time to build a complete production and assembly line. Small batches help you move from product to market faster.

Time-sensitive

Market demands and technologies can change quickly. Small-batch production gives you the flexibility to improve and adapt the product between production runs.

Niche specialized market

Specialized markets may require lower volumes without compromising on quality. Small batches make high-quality production viable even when you simply don’t need large quantities.
