Turn your smart device UI into a reality

Purpose-built to reduce the frustrations, delays, and costs associated with connected home and consumer appliance development, Crank’s Storyboard’s UI design tool helps UX designers and embedded systems engineers to work on a project at the same time, while supporting role-specific tools and languages. The end result is the best possible interface, whether it's a smart refrigerator, connected dishwasher, or smart watch. All delivered in record times and supporting many different platforms.

Faster cycles, faster
time-to-market

When UX engineers and embedded designers work in Storyboard’s proprietary parallel workflow environment, iterating and validating is done at a far superior pace.

High-performance
IoT devices

UIs created in Storyboard are designed, validated, tweaked and continually optimized for the embedded device from the get-go, ensuring maximum performance.

Future proof and
reuse your designs

Create scalable, cross-platform UIs for anything from the highest performance connected devices down to the lowest MCUs.

When we build our next product, we will be using Crank software - without hesitation. They provided the best 3rd party development team I've ever worked with.
