Product tour

See the next step, then keep the record with the work.

Start with an editable hardware journey, a blank project, or an imported plan. Then connect tasks, files, assemblies, vendors, quotes, feedback, revisions, and handoffs as the product changes.

The working flow

From a clear brief to the first small batch.

Use the default journey as guidance, edit every step, or replace it with the project plan your team already follows.

  1. 01

    Choose a starting point

    Use the editable default journey, begin blank, or import an existing plan. Nothing in the starting plan is locked.

  2. 02

    Write the Project Brief

    Define the product, user, constraints, assumptions, and the next decision in one living project document.

  3. 03

    Explore the product

    Add concept images, build a look-and-feel prototype, then plan the working prototype that tests the biggest risk.

  4. 04

    Prepare the first small batch

    Connect the files, assemblies, owners, dates, vendors, quotes, and handoffs needed for the first controlled build.

  5. 05

    Keep the record current

    Track design, build, delivery, feedback, and revisions as the project changes.

The project record

Every view keeps a different part of the same delivery record clear.

Workbench connects hardware project management and vendor handoffs. Specialist CAD, PDM, PLM, ERP, engineering, compliance, legal, and quality systems still belong where the work requires them.

01

Home

One workspace-level view across projects so the next project or action is easy to find.

02

Deliverables

The outputs the project owes, with owners, target dates, status, approvals, and supporting context.

03

Files & Docs

CAD, drawings, supplier files, quotes, and general project documents with current-version context.

04

Assemblies + BOM

The product structure and working parts information connected to project delivery.

05

Vendors

Vendor choices you find in Workbench or add yourself, with contacts, capabilities, selection context, NDAs, quotes, and files.

06

Handoffs + updates

The project status, owners, recorded updates, and next actions that keep internal and outside work moving.

Your vendor network

Find vendors in Workbench. Choose and control the relationship.

Compare vendor choices or add partners you already know, then decide whom to outsource to. HardwareHub Consulting is one optional vendor you may consider—not an automatic provider or required part of Workbench.

You remain responsible for vendor due diligence, selection, contracts, technical review, quality requirements, and acceptance of the work. Workbench organizes the record; it does not make or guarantee those decisions.

Explore vendor discovery

Bring the hardware project together

Give the deliverables, design files, vendors, and handoffs one current home.

Use Workbench to find, compare, select, and coordinate vendors. You choose whom to engage and keep control of every vendor relationship.
