Smart Scents. Pura Scents, a startup specializing in fragrance diffusers, wanted to wow customers with a new device that combined their established aesthetic quality with internet-of-things software functionality. From prototype to production, we collaborated with Pura and their partners to animate their connected device with intelligent firmware while rearchitecting their app. Our previous IoT work positioned us well to lead Pura and their partners through stakeholder feedback, beta tests, and hardware revisions to ensure we built the best product for both customers and company.

Summary
We leveraged our experience building internet-connected hardware to help startup Pura create their newest fragrance device. We both developed the firmware that controls the device and led the redevelopment of its entire digital ecosystem, shepherding partners through the product management process with speed and know-how. The result is a market-ready IoT device that brings both smarts and scents.
