ANDREAS HESS
Product Designer, Founder and Managing Partner

After graduating from University of Applied Sciences at Schwäbisch Gmünd, Andreas Hess first worked for several development offices, focusing on sport, lifestyle and safety products. The association between his own university and upcoming designers is always close to the heart of Andreas Hess. Every so often he has taught product design courses, he cooperates with the university on projects and advises Bachelor students with regard to their final papers. Andreas Hess crucially initiates and controls the design development process for the agency, for which key words such as technology transfer, integrated and meaningful design, as well as interdisciplinary operation play a major part for whiteID Integrated Design.

Sebastian Schnabel graduated in product design at the University of Applied Sciences at Schwäbisch Gmünd.
During his studies, he was already working as a freelance CAD designer. After graduating, he went on to specialise in innovative software solutions, the sound creation of constructed 3D data sets ready for implementation, as well as state-of-the-art prototyping and manufacturing processes – particularly in the field of plastics technology. Thanks to his expertise, whiteID is able to plan and control the manufacturing of small series for customers. Sebastian Schnabel is significantly responsible for the continuous integration of state-of-the-art technology as well as innovative design approaches in the daily workflow of whiteID.

Our strengths lie in the scope of our range of services and our many years of experience in a wide array of production procedures. This allows for objective and lucrative advice between us and our customers, and paves the way for an innovative transfer of technology. We develop solutions for complex needs with an unexpected depth of development.
At whiteID, customers are given the opportunity to outsource the entire development process – including construction and the generation of tool data – or to purchase additional partial projects as a separate service.

About
OUR
COOPERATION
MODELS
PROJECT
MODEL
Based on a specification, briefing or kick-off meeting, we create a detailed project plan that includes all project stages required up to the project objective set. The individual stages are defined as phases and are offered as individual items. Design and technical developments which create a unique position or have the potential to achieve a proprietary right will be charged with an additional quota licence.
We will be pleased to provide you with hourly rates and quota licences for technical developments upon request.
BUDGET
MODEL
Many of our clients appreciate being able to allocate a fixed annual budget for the lasting extension of their development capacity, in order to create planning security for short-term capacity bottlenecks or long-term projects.
We will be pleased to send you the reduced hourly rates for budget models on request.
LICENCE
MODEL
In order to be able to support a wide range of customers from various industries, we offer two cooperation models based on quota licences, combined with a basic budget. The advantage for a client is that the major proportion of the development costs is spent as a quota licence for the product sold and therefore keeps the development costs very low.
We will be pleased to provide you with hourly rates and quota licence fees upon request.
COOPERATION
MODEL
We take part in university projects, research projects and Bachelor and Master dissertations for student trainees and university cooperations. Furthermore, we develop projects in the context of advance developments to introduce to companies as a completed study or product innovation.
We will be pleased to provide you with hourly rates and quota licence fees upon request.
