Turn UI Designs Into Production-Ready Embedded Applications Faster 

A platform that eliminates the bottlenecks between design and embedded GUI development

The Challenge with Traditional Design Handoffs

Design teams create beautiful interfaces, but turning those designs into embedded applications often requires developers to rebuild screens manually. 

 

Every design update can introduce rework, delays, and communication challenges between teams.

 

Storyboard removes that friction by connecting design tools directly to embedded GUI development.

The Storyboard Approach to GUI Development

Storyboard helps teams build production-ready embedded GUIs faster by connecting design and development in a single workflow.

 

With Storyboard's decoupled architecture, designers and developers work in parallel rather than waiting on one another. 

 

The result is faster iteration, reduced rework, and a more efficient path to delivering embedded user experiences that customers love.

Storyboard's Parallel Workflow for Design and Development

Import Designs. Skip the Rebuild

No need to recreate your UI from scratch. 

 

Import design files directly from Figma, Photoshop, Sketch, or Illustrator into Storyboard and preserve the work that's already been done. 

 

Reduce development effort, accelerate iteration, and bring your embedded UI to life faster.

Update Designs without Starting Over

Change is inevitable. Addressing it shouldn’t be hard. 

 

As UI requirements evolve, designers can continue refining interfaces and importing updates into Storyboard without forcing developers to rebuild screens and functionality from scratch.

 

Simply re-import updated files and continue the development work - without losing functionality or redoing code.

Design States and File Import

Visualize and Refine Your Application Faster

Import artboards from Figma, Photoshop, Illustrator, or Sketch as multiple screens to quickly define your application's layout and user flow. 

 

Storyboard's Design States let you preview and refine animations, transitions, and effects within their intended context, enabling faster iteration and a smoother path from design to production.

Results They Have Achieved

Before Crank Software and Storyboard, our embedded GUI development time on average took 12 months to complete. Now it takes us 5 to 6 months to get projects done. "
Jack Fenkhuber
Electronics Engineering Manager, Valid Manufacturing
Using Storyboard allowed us to create a fashionable graphical interface while optimizing power and memory budgets, among other efficiencies. The result is a hyper-modern user experience and longer battery life, empowering consumers to live smarter in different scenarios. "
Meihui Fan
CTO, Zepp Health
With Storyboard it's quite easy to start with no experience in Crank and get things to a working stage. The most important thing to us was to have a working prototype quickly because you can always improve from there. Achieving this was simple and fast with the Crank’s Storyboard, once we got started, we were able to create the first working prototype of the Model 1 in less than a year. "
Robin Kuprat
Managing Partner, Maro Coffee
We’re constantly innovating, and Storyboard lets us tweak the graphics and optimize the animations with great ease, with minimal impact on our product development cycles. In fact, our users often comment on how much they like the touch screen interface and how quick and easy it is to set up. "
Michael Holmes
Senior Software Engineer, Ventec Life Systems
Storyboard makes it really easy for us to make ongoing changes to the look of the interface. We can re-import updated Photoshop files into the app, and Storyboard magically reconnects everything. It’s a huge time saver, affording us the time to invest in our UX. "
