Custom IoT Product Design & Development Services

Our process typically follows seven stages: product strategy and consulting, device specification, hardware prototyping, PCB design with DFM optimization, firmware development, cloud and app development, and finally certification with market launch support. Not every project needs all seven. Some clients come to us with a validated prototype and need help from firmware onward, while others start with just an idea. We shape the process around where you are. That flexibility is core to how we approach IoT product development services.

IoT product development costs depend on hardware complexity, firmware requirements, compliance needs, and software scope. A straightforward connected device might start around $50K to $100K for an MVP. More complex products, especially those requiring FDA or ATEX certification and custom PCB design, typically range from $150K to $500K or more. We provide a detailed estimate after a discovery session where we map out requirements and identify risks together.

Most IoT products reach initial deployment in 4 to 8 months. Simpler monitoring devices can be ready in 3 to 4 months, while comprehensive systems with custom hardware, multiple device types, and regulatory certification can take 10 to 12 months. We work incrementally, so you can start validating with real users before the full product is complete.

As a company, Yalantis holds ISO 9001 (quality management), ISO 27001 (information security), and ISO 27701 (data privacy) certifications. When it comes to product certifications, we help our clients obtain the ones their product requires. That includes FCC, CE, FDA Class I and II, ATEX, and alignment with standards like ISO 13485, IEC 62304, and IEC 62443. So far, we have supported 50+ FDA and CE submissions with a 90% first-pass approval rate.

We see the strongest demand in healthcare, industrial manufacturing, logistics, and automotive. These are industries where off-the-shelf devices rarely meet the specific requirements around compliance, environmental conditions, or integration with existing systems. That said, we also work in smart building, agriculture, and defense, where custom hardware and firmware make a meaningful difference. In every case, our IoT product engineering services are shaped around the specific product requirements and compliance standards of the industry.

Security is part of the architecture from the start, not something we add at the end. On the device side, that means secure boot, firmware signing, and encrypted communication (TLS/DTLS). In the cloud, we use certificate-based device authentication, role-based access control, and secure OTA update pipelines. Where possible, we write firmware in Rust, which eliminates entire categories of memory vulnerabilities at compile time. Yalantis itself is ISO 27001 certified, so our own development processes follow strict information security protocols as well.

Yes, and this is actually where most of our projects begin. Our hardware engineers handle the full prototyping cycle in-house: component selection, schematic design, PCB layout, and functional prototype assembly. We test and iterate until the prototype validates your concept, and only then move into production-grade design and certification. Our IoT product design services help companies validate concepts quickly and reduce risk before committing to full-scale product launch.

Yes. Our team will assess your current infrastructure, whether that includes ERPs, CRMs, MES platforms, or legacy equipment, and develop custom APIs and middleware for bidirectional data flow. In healthcare, we also have experience integrating with EHR systems like Epic and Cerner via HL7 standards.

We do. Our post-deployment support covers proactive monitoring, regular firmware and software updates, security patches, and technical support. Depending on your needs, you can choose anything from a part-time bug-fix retainer to a full-time dedicated support team.
