RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Together with our key clients, suppliers & design partners, we realized that not only there is a growing interest on Anti Bacteria & Anti Virus Screen Protection solutions during the covid pandemic, people are also more environmental conscious than ever. Snap To Hide EcoFlex is inspired by these new findings, a perfect solution for the returning work force of a 5G Post-Pandemic Era, where people will be working beyond the usual office space, with special concern to privacy yet want to stay clean safe and be eco friendly at the same time; all these can now be done in a snap with Snap To Hide EcoFlex.
CHALLENGE: If the integration of Screen Privacy & Anti Bacteria Screen, 2 rather different expertise to develop Snap To Hide EcoFlex are not challenging enough, dealing with unforeseen lockdowns & quarantine regulations from different parts of the world make it even more so. Our lead designer realized the need to make full use of any remote working technology we can get and started an AD-HOC team to quickly integrate resources from both teams and supplier to accelerate and get back the momentum of design and development.
