Not every mobile challenge can be solved with standard devices or accessories. Frontline environments often require specialized configurations, rugged enhancements, or entirely custom solutions to support how work gets done.
Stratix Custom Technology Engineering bridges that gap. We work closely with your team to understand your operational requirements, workflows, and constraints—then design and build tailored solutions that fit seamlessly into your environment.
Our approach ensures your technology supports productivity instead of limiting it.

SmartMobile Solution Design
From Challenge to Engineered Solution
Our engineering process starts with your use case—not a predefined product.
We assess how your teams use mobile technology in the field, identifying friction points, inefficiencies, or limitations with existing hardware and accessories. From there, we design a solution that addresses those challenges directly—whether that’s modifying devices, developing custom enclosures, integrating peripherals, or creating entirely new configurations.
Every solution is tested, refined, and validated to ensure it performs reliably in real-world conditions. And because Stratix supports the full mobility lifecycle, we ensure your custom solution can be deployed, supported, and scaled alongside your broader mobility program.
Custom Technology Engineering FAQs
Custom technology engineering is the process of designing, modifying, or building accessories, enclosures, and device components to support specific enterprise workflows, environments, or user requirements when standard options are not enough. Stratix positions this service as a way to overcome the limitations of off-the-shelf devices and peripherals.
Organizations typically need custom engineering when standard accessories interfere with workflows, reduce usability, fail in demanding environments, or do not support the required customer or employee experience. Some use cases require custom carrying cases, enclosures, components, branding, colors, or other modifications to make the solution work as intended.
Stratix creates a range of custom solutions, including custom mobile accessories, carrying cases, enclosures, branded components, replacement parts, and purpose-built peripherals. Some projects involve replacing an original component or creating a 3D-printed part that significantly changes how a device is used.
Stratix starts with a detailed understanding of the use case, end-user requirements, workflows, environment, and desired outcomes. The team conducts design thinking sessions with stakeholders, observes workers in the field, surveys the environment, and then brainstorms the most effective solution before drafting, prototyping, and engineering it in-house.
Yes. Custom accessories are drafted, prototyped, and engineered in-house. The team uses 3D-printed plastics for high-quality in-house prototyping. Stratix highlights this approach as a way to support faster iteration, agile end-user testing, and more efficient decision-making.
Yes. Stratix custom engineering can range from relatively simple branding changes—such as adding company logos, colors, and taglines—to more complex engineering efforts involving custom components, modified device functionality, or purpose-built peripherals.
Benefits include improving productivity, reducing hardware damage, accelerating projects, saving time, cutting costs, and creating a better end-user experience. Better accessory design and durability can improve the ROI of a mobility program by reducing failure-related issues.
Yes. Our in-house engineering resources and partner network allow us to design and build solutions at the scale needed for speedy deployment. We have the flexibility and scalability to produce accessories and peripherals in volume to meet deployment deadlines while helping keep costs down.
Our team has created more than 2,200 mobile solution concepts for enterprise customers and has more than 25 years of dedicated product engineering and industry expertise. We are an industry leader in enterprise mobility with decades of experience helping organizations design, deploy, and support mobile technology programs.
Custom technology engineering fits into a broader mobility program by ensuring devices and accessories are tailored to how work actually happens in the field.
