Our Purpose:

We help manufacturers hear their customers.

As the founding team of Evolute, we not only share our workplace, but also a common mission: to establish customer centricity in your company!

Our values

Our Spirit

  • We are passionate, have fun and are proud of our company and what we do. We are optimistic, brave and embrace constant change.

Our Passion

  • Together, we innovate to make or customers successful.

Our Attitude

  • We don't stop until we are done. We are relentless in the pursuit of greatness.

Our Ethics

  • We are caring, trustworthy and honest, having genuine mutual respect for each other.

Our Ways of Working

  • We collaborate with each other, taking ownership and accountability. We challenge the status quo and let the best argument win. We make mistakes to learn from them and we prioritize delivering important features fast over being perfect in version 1.

There should not be a TLDR for our values, but here is one anyway:

We work and grow together as one team, in the relentless pursuit of greatness.

Most industrial companies have had product flops in the last five years with complaints, service cases and missed sales figures. Such flops cause high financial losses and often result from a lack of consideration of user needs by product managers.

Incorrect decisions in one phase can lead to needs not being met in subsequent phases.

When was the last time you listened to users?

Traditional methods of obtaining user feedback, such as customer visits, trade fair meetings or training courses, are too slow, indirect, time-consuming and not scalable.

Evolute is more than just an app. We offer a dedicated and active community of craftsmen to enable a reliable exchange with a critical mass of users.

This gives you access to relevant data in all phases of the product development process. Make better and faster decisions and develop more successful products.

Success stories

For the specifications of a new product development, FLEX had to find a broad base of tradespeople who were interested in purchasing a particular product and were willing to share their (functional) requirements or preferences.

In the product development process, 40 opinions from craftsmen were collected within a few weeks in response to 32 differently defined questions, which significantly advanced the development process.
