Case Study: LUMICKS builds a script sharing platform for researchers with STX Next

LUMICKS launches Harbor MVP in 4 months with STX Next

Lumicks, a Dutch high-tech life science tools company, approached vendor STX Next with a big-picture idea for a platform called Harbor but faced significant challenges in defining its design, feature set, and technical requirements. They needed to not only answer these questions but also design the product, align their team around a common vision, present it at an upcoming science fair in just one month, and build a functional MVP within a tight four-month deadline.

STX Next provided an end-to-end solution, running discovery workshops to refine the concept. For the imminent science fair, they delivered a clickable prototype and an explainer video, which successfully attracted early user sign-ups. The vendor then built and deployed the full Harbor MVP to production within the challenging timeframe. The STX Next team was praised for their good communication and ability to deliver a viable product quickly, and they continue to work with Lumicks to build out new functionalities for the platform.
