In today’s fast-paced hardware market, white-label Partnership face increasing pressure to deliver complete product solutions — from concept to production — under tight deadlines and fixed client budgets.
But behind every “branded” delivery, there’s often a silent challenge:
Limited technical bandwidth
Difficulty scaling engineering capacity
Maintaining quality across multiple client projects
That’s where engineering partnerships like ours come in.
At GigHz, we collaborate with white-label service providers, helping them strengthen their backend capabilities.
Especially in PCB design, simulation, library management, and engineering documentation — while they stay focused on client relations and delivery.
Here are the most common questions white-label agencies ask before partnering with us — and how we help them scale confidently.
1. “How Will You Work Behind the Scenes Without Affecting Our Brand?”
Your client relationship is the core of your business, and we respect that fully.
Our entire workflow is designed to support you quietly in the background while keeping your brand at the front.
- We follow your project formats, documentation styles, templates, and design standards so everything looks and feels like your own work.
- All communication materials, reports, and delivery files are prepared under your brand identity, maintaining full consistency.
- We sign strict NDAs and follow clear boundaries, ensuring our role stays completely invisible to your end client.
Your brand stays in control.
We simply strengthen it from behind the scenes — steady, reliable, and fully aligned with your way of working.
2. “Can You Match the Design Standards Our Clients Expect?”
Absolutely.
Every agency works with clients who have their own expectations — from IPC Class 2 requirements to custom stack-ups, routing rules, or strict DFM guidelines.
We adjust our workflow to match exactly what your clients expect.
- CAD Tool Expertise: Altium, OrCAD, Allegro, PADS, KiCad — we adapt to whichever tool your project needs.
- Compliance: We follow your preferred standards including IPC rules, DFM best practices, EMI/EMC considerations, and PI/SI checks.
- Review Cycle: Every design goes through peer review, simulation verification, and clean, client-ready documentation.
We also maintain internal process documents tailored to your agency, so the output is always consistent with your delivery style — every time, for every client.
3. “How Do You Protect Our Client Data and IP?”
For white-label providers, data security is non-negotiable — and we follow the same principle.
Every file, design, and document you share is handled with strict protection from start to finish.
Our system ensures:
- Strict NDAs signed before any project begins, covering confidentiality, IP safety, and client privacy.
- Dedicated secure cloud folders in Dropbox, Drive, or FTP, set up only for your agency so nothing gets mixed with other projects.
- Isolated data handling, meaning we never use shared repositories and never reuse any part of your design work elsewhere.
- Internal version tracking on every update, giving you full traceability of design changes and engineering decisions.
We operate as a confidential engineering extension of your company — fully aligned, fully secure, and never visible to your end clients.
4. “Can You Handle Variable Workloads or Multiple Projects?”
Yes — that’s our specialty.
Most white-label agencies face unpredictable workloads.
One month is steady, and the next month you’re handling multiple parallel deliveries with tight timelines.
Our model is designed exactly for this kind of flexibility.
- Dedicated engineers who work only on your projects and understand your process.
- Modular scaling, where you can increase or pause workloads based on your pipeline without long onboarding cycles.
- Guaranteed delivery timelines, supported by internal buffers and planned bandwidth so that sudden project spikes don’t create delays.
Whether you’re delivering a single prototype or managing ten boards at the same time, we ensure your engineering capacity stays smooth, stable, and never becomes a bottleneck for your agency.
5. “How Transparent Is the Pricing Model?”
We keep pricing simple, predictable, and scalable.
Our structure is tailored for agencies who resell under their brand:
- Per-Project Pricing: Fixed, clear quotes before execution
- Per-Part Pricing: Ideal for library or schematic conversion work
- Monthly Retainer Model: For agencies handling continuous client inflow
We also provide budgetary estimates upfront, helping you evaluate feasibility before committing — no surprises, no ambiguity.
6. “Can We Start with a Pilot Before Going Full Scale?”
Yes — in fact, we recommend it.
Most of our long-term partners begin with a small pilot (e.g., 10-part library conversion or 1 PCB project).
This helps you evaluate:
- Communication clarity
- Design quality
- File compliance and formatting
- Delivery speed
Once you’re confident, we scale up with dedicated engineers aligned to your workload and brand standards.
7. “Can You Support Multiple Tool Environments and File Formats?”
Absolutely.
Many agencies serve clients using different EDA tools — which often complicates backend execution.
At GigHz, we support multi-tool environments, including:
- Altium Designer
- OrCAD / Allegro
- PADS / Xpedition
- KiCad
We also handle EDA conversions, ensuring seamless translation between tools when your clients demand cross-platform compatibility.
8. “How Do You Help Us Scale Our Client Delivery Capacity?”
Think of us as your engineering backbone —you handle client strategy, branding, and delivery;
we handle execution, documentation, and validation.
Our partnership helps you: Take on more client projects without new hires
Deliver consistently without compromising quality
Focus on growth while we manage the technical load
You stay the face — we stay the foundation.
Bottom Line
Partnering with the right engineering team can turn a white-label Partnership into a true end-to-end product powerhouse.
At GigHz, we help service providers scale efficiently —
with precision, confidentiality, and delivery excellence at every stage of hardware design.
