Flamingbox’s Research and Development Team travel to numerous conventions, exhibitions and product launches across the world in order to stay informed of all new developments regardless of where they are created.
A lot of research takes place in the United States. This is due to the fact that America has adopted the technology at a much faster rate and the general public is still years ahead in education and understanding of system integration. Flamingbox have brought the advanced business practices over to the UK, such as regular consultations, clear and concise documentation and working to strict and stringent standards.

The design process is central to the Flamingbox service as the technology is installed in such a way that it compliments and fits with the architect’s and client’s overall design idea.
