IoT & smart devices

Turn your device into a connected product customers control from their phone

A smart device needs more than hardware. There's the app your customers use, the cloud the devices talk to, a dashboard for your team and the software running on the device itself. Usually different vendors build each piece and then blame each other when something breaks. We build all of it as one team, so one partner answers for the whole product.


What we build

Part of the product What you get
Mobile app for iPhone and Android Customers set up and control the device from their phone
Cloud platform Every device stays connected and you can see how each one is doing
Dashboard for your team Support and operations see devices, customers and issues in one place
Firmware The software on the device, written by the same team
Safe updates A new version goes to some devices first and can be rolled back fast if anything goes wrong
Sales through the device A "running low" alert takes the customer straight to a reorder

A real example

ScentCloud: a smart scent diffuser, built end to end. A US company wanted customers to control its premium diffusers from their phones. We built the app, the cloud platform and the team dashboard. The manufacturer couldn't deliver the firmware, so we wrote that too. Before production started, our engineers spotted a flaw in the device design. The client fixed it in time and the first batch never had to be recalled. Read the case study →

Who this is for

  • Hardware companies turning an ordinary device into a connected one.
  • Teams tired of coordinating separate vendors for the app, the cloud and the firmware.

FAQ

What happens after launch?

We can stay on as your long-term team, shipping updates, adding features and keeping the system running as the number of devices grows.

Who owns the code?

You do. All the code, data and access belong to your company.

Can we start with something small?

Yes. You can start with one part, such as the app or a review of the device, and take it step by step. We agree the price of each step with you up front.
