Start building your new IOT Product today

Kick start your IOT project

The Internet of Things (IoT) opens up many new opportunities for your business and product line-up, but with so many new technologies and terminology it can be a daunting prospect to start building something, and assembling a multi-disciplinary team to build it is a project in itself.

We take the hard work out of IoT, using the knowledge and experience we have developed from building and deploying physical products and Apps and applying it to your problem, product or project.

Long Life IOT

We believe that making connected products opens up many opportunities to improve how we interact with the world around us and live our lives. It’s important to us that what we build must do something useful, be a pleasure to use, and both hardware and software must last the test of time.

Consulting

We take time to understand what a client wants to achieve and why, to make sure we know the purpose behind the project. We listen to your needs and understand your existing capabilities to adapt our team around yours.

Collaboration

We work closely with our clients, becoming a part of their team. We want to gain a deep understanding of what our clients do, so we can build products that align with their values and mission. We want our clients’ teams to feed back on what we do at every opportunity.

Integration

We use our in depth knowledge of high and low level development to make a product that is tightly integrated between hardware and software. We aim to build products that are highly polished, that make people want to use them.

Iteration

Particularly when first starting out on a project it’s important that we test ideas quickly, get feedback, challenge assumptions, and develop the idea further. To do this we iterate rapidly with prototypes, getting a physical representation of an idea as early as possible.

Consulting

For new ideas we can provide guidance and expertise on what is possible with IoT, what will be approved by Apple and Google for Apps in the App/Play Store, and identify potential risk factors. We will make suggestions on how to proceed and estimate the cost and time to deliver your project.

If you have an existing product we can help improve aspects of it such as usability or security, or develop additional components such as a software development kit to allow third party developers to integrate your product into their own.

Prototyping

We can rapidly prototype a device with production-capable hardware and proof of concept Apps. Internally we have developed a toolchain which enables us to build custom features for your project while integrating common functionality like battery level monitoring and over-the-air firmware updates quickly.

Using an iterative approach to prototyping and tackling the things which pose the highest risk first mean we can give a better estimate of what later stages of development will require, giving you confidence the work can be achieved in budget.

Design, Development and Manufacture

Advancing beyond a prototype we can build production ready firmware and Apps – working in an iterative manner we produce prototypes and seek feedback whenever feasible.

When development is complete we will help you take the product to manufacture, providing firmware flashing and testing utilities, ensuring it is compliant with Bluetooth and other specifications. We provide full technical documentation, and can provide customer documentation too.

Maintenance and support

When a product is released, it’s important to ensure it continues to work when the world around it changes. We offer maintenance services with SLAs, ensuring your product has a long lifespan and your customers continue to enjoy using it. We also offer support services for users and developers (internal or third party), so there is always someone there to help.

Technologies

We work with a wide variety of technologies to offer a comprehensive development and consultancy service for IoT projects.

• App and SDK development for iOS and Android

• HomeKit Accessory development

• Bluetooth 5.0 device development including iBeacon and Eddystone

• NFC device development
