Free Tools for Physical Product Development
Interactive tools that answer a question about your product rather than products in general. Free to use, and your answers stay in your browser.
Import Compliance Navigator
Seven questions about your product, then a compliance checklist built for it — CE marking, GPSR, REACH and the rest.
LiveLanded cost & duty calculator
Unit price, freight, duty and VAT in one landed cost per unit, with dated benchmark bands where you do not know a number yet. An indicative estimate, not a quote.
LiveBatchLabel — packaging compliance checker
Upload your print-ready artwork, pick your market and product category, and get a report of what's legally missing from the label before it goes to print. Reads the barcode from the bars and measures your CE and WEEE marks in millimetres.
LiveSourcing trade show calendar
29 sourcing fairs with the dates, the location, the exhibitor count and what a badge costs. Every figure is checked against the organiser's own site, and marked as not published rather than guessed where the organiser has published nothing.
LiveSupplier vetting scorecard
Score a supplier on the things that actually predict whether an order goes well — and see which answers should end the conversation early.
In developmentThe two tools in development are being built alongside the course. If one of them would be useful to you sooner, say so — it moves up the list.
