While the market typically cites development costs of €50,000, SYKO demonstrates its flexibility and commitment to customer satisfaction with an average cost of €10,000. This is clearly evidenced by multiple development projects that are consistently completed in parallel.
Now SYKO is not viewed by its customers as a supplier to a niche market, but as a partner to solve their in-house needs. If you check the market, there are more suppliers supplying this market and we say that the number of suppliers and not the size of the manufacturing facility sets the standard. In terms of price, you would like to have standard goods, but the specifications can only be fulfilled to a limited extent. Now you have to learn to make functionality calculable in addition to performance.
