Building FabSetu: A Multi-Product Digital Ecosystem
How Cloit approaches product architecture for connected electronics-industry business workflows.
01 / Overview
Overview
FabSetu is a connected digital ecosystem designed around electronics-industry business workflows. Marketplace, Contacts and Talent bring distinct activities into a shared product experience.
Cloit's work on FabSetu brings together product engineering and platform thinking: each product has a focused purpose, while the wider ecosystem needs consistent identity, organisation context and access across them.
