The Challenge of Developing for Different Product Categories

As products evolve, supporting multiple hardware platforms often means maintaining separate UI projects, duplicating development effort, and increasing long-term maintenance costs for the business.

Storyboard takes a different approach.

The Storyboard Approach to GUI Development

By separating the user interface from the underlying hardware, Storyboard enables teams to build a single UI application foundation that can be deployed across multiple processors, operating systems, display sizes, and product variants.

With Storyboards' pre-built runtimes, you can easily and confidently move your embedded GUI from MCU to MPU hardware and different OSs without starting over.

The result is a more scalable development process, reduced development rework, and faster deployment across your entire product portfolio.

Scale Across Product Lines, Without the Risk

Create a common UI foundation that can be adapted for multiple products, display sizes, and hardware platforms.

With Storyboard’s flexible architecture you can create embedded UIs that scale to deliver a consistent user experience while reducing development and maintenance efforts.

Design without Constraints. Develop without Limits

Hardware Changes Without Project Delays

Switching processors, operating systems, or display hardware shouldn't force you to rebuild your UI.

Storyboard's architecture decouples the user interface from the underlying platform, enabling teams to adapt to changing hardware requirements at any stage of development.

Simply deploy your UI with the appropriate Storyboard runtime and keep your project moving forward—without costly rework or schedule disruptions.

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. "
