Storyboard unlocks powerful GUI development with the benefits of low coding

With its parallel development architecture, Crank's Storyboard enables front and back-end development to occur at the same time, speeding up the process of creating exceptional UI applications.

Hence, making the process of developing and testing engaging GUI applications more efficient for project teams.

Shorten the development time of your embedded GUI applications

Get to market faster and do not lose valuable development time trying to recreate the design teams vision

Reduce the costs of developing GUI applications

Optimize your development process by minimizing iteration cycles and adding functions via clicks (and not code), saving time, effort, and ultimately costs

Ensure your GUI applications look and perform as intended

Directly importing design files ensures the UI/UX designer’s vision is the same as the final GUI application

Make GUI testing an intrinsic part of the development process

Enhance user satisfaction by delivering a flawless product through thorough testing, leading to increased sales

Collaborative and parallel workflow without code disruption

With a distinct separation between front-end design and back-end logic environments, developers and designers can collaboratively work together to develop, enhance, and test the application at the same time, without disrupting each other's process.
Our unique parallel workflows eliminates the reluctance that used to come with design iteration.
Now, product teams can work on optimizing the end-UX more effectively because design changes don't delay or break development work.

Create GUI designs in a familiar framework

With Storyboard, you're able to create all of your graphics in the most popular graphic and UI/UX design tools that design teams already know and love like Figma, Photoshop, Illustrator and Sketch.
When they're ready, simply import them directly into Storyboard where they become the foundation of the GUI application, saving on development time.
Re-import changed design files directly back into Storyboard without losing functionality.
The unique, parallel workflow environment of Storyboard allows designers to focus on creating their UI graphics, while developers work on the code and overall system.

Make GUI application testing part of your development workflow

Integrated within the Storyboard IDE helps streamline the overall GUI development process.
Tests developed for one project can be leveraged for other projects and hardware platform.
Generate reports to share with the project team on the status of the UI performance
Incorporate test runs into a system that runs independently or regularly without the need for a manual trigger.

Never start from scratch with supported platforms

With its unique decoupled architecture, Storyboard-built GUI applications can move seamlessly between a wide range of hardware platforms, from MCUs to MPUs.
With Storyboard, you have a choice when it comes to selecting the UI-based OS that is best suited for your embedded project including - QNX, FreeRTOS, Integrity, iTron, MQX, Segger, ThreadX, μClinux, µC/OS-II, µC/OS-III, VX Works, XIP Linux... and more!
You also have the freedom to incorporate modern visual or 3D elements into your project. Storyboard supports VG Lite, OpenGL and a host of other rendering technologies, including our award-winning Hybrid Rendering, to ensure your project is able to take advantage of ecosystem updates as they happen.

With Storyboard it's quite easy to start with no experience in Crank and get things to a working stage. The most important thing when starting development is to have a working prototype quickly because you can always improve from there. For us, achieving this was simple and fast with the Crank’s Storyboard, once we got started, we were able to create the first working prototype of the Model 1 in less than a year.

We’re constantly innovating, and Storyboard lets us tweak the graphics and optimize the animations with great ease, with minimal impact on our product development cycles. In fact, our users often comment on how much they like the touch screen interface and how quick and easy it is to set up.

Michael Holmes

Senior Software Engineer, Ventec Life Systems

The certainties Crank showed about Storyboard-built GUI apps — their small RAM footprint and low power consumption — were important factors in its selection for the Dash.

James Stemper

Director of Program Management, Stages Cycling

“We chose Crank Software and Storyboard because they support all hardware platforms, they're affordable, and their profitability year after year shows they're not going anywhere."
