Clay: from digital access solution to hardware in eight months
Clay wanted to manage access to buildings remotely, without physical keys. PEZY designed and produced the hardware that enabled this digital service. The first product was ready to enter the market within eight months.
Introductie
Giving physical form to a digital service
Remote access starts with reliable hardware at the door. Clay asked PEZY to develop and produce the physical products for its new access solution.
Kernresultaten
Eight months to launch
The first Clay product was ready to enter the market within eight months.
Hardware designed and produced
PEZY delivered the physical products for the digital access solution.
Launch supported
Packaging, demonstration kits and presentation materials were developed as well.
01 · De uitdaging
Digital access requires physical products
Clay wanted to connect electronically controlled doors wirelessly and enable keyless access.
Administrators needed to manage access to buildings, individual rooms and homes remotely. Launching this digital service required a complete hardware solution.
02 · De rol van PEZY
Designing and producing the hardware
PEZY designed and produced the hardware for Clay's first product.
Our contribution extended beyond the product housings: we also developed solutions for the app interface, packaging, and materials for demonstrating and presenting the product.

03 · De aanpak en het inzicht
Preparing the product and its launch together
We developed the physical products and supporting materials within the same project.
In addition to the hardware, the project included demonstration kits, brochures and trade-show materials. These gave Clay the tools to show customers how the new service worked.
04 · De oplossing
Keyless access with remote management
The hardware supported a system that connected doors wirelessly and allowed access rights to be managed remotely.
The product brought the digital service to the point where access is actually granted: the door.
05 · Het resultaat
From concept to market in eight months
Clay was able to launch its first product within eight months.
PEZY provided both the hardware design and production. The original case describes the brand as the predecessor to Salto KS; the project shows how physical product development can support the launch of a digital service.
