Another way of engineering

A Smart Way of Engineering

Smart Way Engineering delivers turnkey engineering solutions based on knowledge, expertise, and quality, all at affordable rates. We achieve this through a hybrid model that combines local expertise with international expertise—remotely. This model enables us to achieve results quickly and scale efficiently.

In engineering, we know that personal client contact is the key to success. That’s why, within our hybrid model, we have a team ‘around the corner’ that communicates in Dutch and follows a local approach, working closely with the client to develop a primary concept and a suitable, reliable solution. The detailed execution is then carried out by our own team of specialists abroad, where capacity is not a limiting factor.

Even more benefits…

With this hybrid solution, we address the shortage of engineers, reduce the housing problem, and ensure that companies—especially in the Brainport region—can grow, innovate, and achieve their time-to-market objectives effectively and efficiently. At the same time, this approach results in significant savings on expat, migration, and labor costs.

Face-to-face approach

In engineering, there is a strong belief that precise communication and collaboration are crucial to understanding the multidisciplinary functions of a product. That’s why we established a R&D Connect Team , consisting of Dutch senior experts who provide essential face-to-face interaction to fully understand all technical details, project requirements, and deliverables.

Deze communiceren zij vervolgens duidelijk en effectief naar het Remote Team. Door middel van heldere richtlijnen, regelmatige communicatie en digitale samenwerkingstools stroomt informatie naadloos tussen het R&D Connect Team en de leden van het Remote Team.

Our remote team members support tasks such as design detailing, preparation, documentation, and technical analysis, which require less physical presence and intensive coordination.

Upon completion, they hand over the work to the R&D Connect Team for thorough review and approval. This process ensures that all deliverables meet the high standards expected in engineering projects.

Project Cost & Time management system

We believe that reliability and transparency are essential. That’s why we’ve developed our Project Cost & Time Management system—a tool designed to give you full control over your project’s budget and timeline at every stage. For you as our valued customer, it serves as an easy-to-use platform to track progress, approve milestones, and stay updated on every detail. With our system, you can ensure your project stays on time and within budget, all while enjoying complete clarity and confidence in the process.

Your focus,
our goal

Given the shortage of highly skilled technical professionals in regions like the Brainport area, leveraging skilled engineers in India offers a highly effective and efficient solution.

This approach enables a productive execution of labor-intensive parts of a project and contributes to a streamlined project implementation of technical tasks. By utilizing the available talent in India, companies can address capacity challenges while focusing local expertise on more complex and IP related tasks.

Last minute engineering

In a dynamic and sometimes hectic environment, last-minute challenges such as a design change or adjustment are very familiar. Smart Way Engineering has developed a priority lane for this, which, for a small additional fee, can solve the problem professionally and quickly.

About Smart Way Engineering

Smart Way Engineering is a spin-out of IM-Aces, which is an organisation that for more than a decade now, successfully deploys pre-retired and retired people on a part time basis for technical assignments. Even in retirement, highly skilled technical professionals can still offer immense value due to their deep knowledge, extensive experience and boundless passion. Their expertise, built over 30 years in the field, remains a critical asset that can support innovation, problem-solving, and knowledge transfer within organizations.

By mentoring younger colleagues and offering strategic insights, these seasoned experts play an essential role in bridging skill gaps and fostering the development of future talent, ensuring that valuable industry knowledge is preserved and passed on. Where possible, we will continue to deploy these individuals alongside the existing and permanent staff of Smart Way Engineering.
