Product & Service

Targeting customers with the right product requires a data driven approach to strike a balance between value for consumers and cost efficiency.

We help companies to better structure their product innovation and development processes, prioritize R&D spending and strategically manage their products and services portfolio to offer the right product, in the right market, to the right customer, at the right cost.

Our approach

Targeting customers with convincing, integrative Product-Service-Systems requires a data driven approach based on both quantitative information and qualitative insight. At JAKALA, we help companies to better structure their innovation and development processes, increase efficiency, integrate R&D activities and strategically manage their product and service portfolio to extend existing markets, and to conquer new markets with customer centric product and service offerings.

In today's interconnected business environment, companies must respond to ecosystem integration by taking into account the broader context in which products are developed, marketed, and sold.

This requires a thorough exploration of possible partnerships with complementary product and platform providers to leverage combined resources, expertise, and customer networks.

We assist in internationalization processes with our strong global presence that allows us to provide deep understanding of local business cultures and local interpretations for design and business systems that reflect an overall cohesive corporate strategy.

Design plays a crucial role in any product portfolio as it is an essential factor in responding to shifting purchase criteria and changing value chains, determining a product's success in the market.

The strategic integration of a design system helps our clients to codify and scale their overall corporate strategy from a broad identification of common denominators to individual interpretations across their organisational framework.

We address ESG and DEI requirements not as forced add-ons, but as integrative parts for any strategic initiative, management program, and innovation processes turning our current challenges into opportunities for smart and responsible economic growth.
