Our Design & Development Services

Our design and development services cover five ways we help businesses build, run and grow with technology: custom software, cloud engineering, industrial IoT, AI and digital transformation. Explore each one below, or tell us what you’re trying to achieve and we’ll point you to the right place.

01 · Software

Custom Software Development

Web applications, mobile apps and desktop software, built around the way your business actually works and supported long after launch. Often as one system with a shared back end, connected to the tools you already use.

  • A technical specification and prototype before the build
  • One back end behind every app, so data lives in one place
  • Integrations with accounting, CRM and payment platforms

03 · IoT

IoT Software Development

Industrial IoT from the sensor to the screen: firmware and edge gateways in the field, the cloud platform that collects the data, and the dashboards and mobile alerts your teams act on.

  • Building IoT systems since 2016
  • PLCs over Modbus, MQTT over cellular or LoRa
  • Device fleets managed remotely with Daployi
  • Factories
  • Mines
  • Power plants
  • Farms
Explore IoT development
From devices in the field to dashboards and alertsPLCs, sensors and microcontrollers on site feed an edge gateway, which stores and forwards data over MQTT on cellular or LoRa to a cloud platform. The platform feeds a web dashboard and a mobile app with push alerts.

04 · AI

AI Development Services

Practical AI built into real software: assistants that know your business, smart features inside your apps and websites, and automation that takes the busywork off your team.

  • AI assistants and chatbots that answer with sources
  • Smart search and AI features inside your software
  • A working prototype on your own data first
  • Assistants
  • Smart search
  • Automation
  • Integrations

How an AI assistant works inside your softwareA user asks the assistant to set up alerts and write a script. The AI assistant draws on your own documents and your systems, works within guardrails for permissions, confirmation and an audit log, and returns an answer with its sources plus an action ready for the user to approve.You ask“Set up an alert when any gateway goes offline,and write a script to back up its logs first.”Your documentsguides · FAQs · policiesAI assistanton your dataYour systemsdata · APIs · devicesGuardrails: permissions · your approval · audit logYou getAn answerAlert rule ready: notify the on-callengineer if a gateway is offlinefor more than 5 minutes.Source: Alerts guide, step 2An action#!/bin/shtar -czf logs.tgz /var/logApprove & runBuilt into your product, your website or your internal tools

05 · Digital

Digital Transformation Services

Growing online and running better behind the scenes: websites that convert, digital marketing and SEO that get you found, a consistent brand, and software that takes the paperwork out of your operations.

  • WordPress websites and online shops
  • SEO, Google Ads, social media and analytics
  • Branding, graphic design and process digitisation
Explore digital transformation
How a business grows online, end to endOne brand identity runs across everything. SEO, Google Ads and social and content marketing bring visitors to the website, built on WordPress or as an online shop. The website turns visitors into leads and sales, which flow into a digitised back office with a CRM, quotes and invoices, and automated workflows. Analytics measure the whole journey and feed improvements back into the marketing.One brand identity, applied everywhereGet foundSEOGoogle AdsSocial & contentYour websiteWordPress · online shopConvertLeads & salesenquiries · ordersBack office, digitisedCRMQuotes & invoicesWorkflowsAnalytics & reportswhat works, what to improveimproveconversions

Design and development services from one team

Most of our projects draw on more than one of these. An IoT platform needs cloud engineering and mobile apps; a new website works best with the marketing and the back-office systems behind it. Because one team covers all five, the pieces are designed to work together from the start.

One point of contact

No juggling suppliers for the app, the hosting and the marketing.

Designed to fit together

Systems, data and brand planned as a whole rather than bolted on later.

Supported long after launch

The team that built it looks after it, under a service level agreement.
