We have good electrical engineers, and do our own design for some things, but we just needed a daughterboard with a very specific set of interfaces for the Compute Module 3, in quantity of about a dozen, and this was a really cheap way to get the project done quickly, and have someone else debug all the interface drivers.  They delivered quickly, and we’ve had zero problems.  We’re very happy.
