Consider you met an all-in-one solution for your very special demands in software, firmware, app development and even electronic hardware design. We are not aiming to solve huge tasks of really big companies. We also are not targeting to solve routine standard tasks. We love to work with unique small to medium business challenges and create solutions that precisely address them.

We are able to provide you with a complete solution that can include backend, web frontend, mobile applications, custom firmwares for common devices and even your own hardware devices. Besides initial implementation we also can take care of daily operations, maintenance and security.

Software development

Software development was the first service that we offered for our clients. We've started from desktop applications in early 2000-x and later evolutionary migrated to client server applications. Our strong base and experience gives us power to solve tasks of any complexity.

Nowadays generic software development typically means server logic (aka backend) development. However we treat this more generically - whatever has a means to execute programs might need software development. In our history we've developed software in many languages - C, C++, C#, Java, PHP, Perl, JavaScript, Ruby, Go, Python. Many platforms and operational systems were covered as well - Windows and Linux desktops or servers, early mobile phones (Symbian, Java Midp), modern iOS and Android phones and smart watches, embedded platforms and microcontrollers. "Everything which does not kill us makes us stronger". Same here, only strong generic knowledge can give us klue to solve customers' puzzles.

Mobile apps development

Yeah. Nowadays everyone wants to have an app. We implemented dozens of apps both for B2B and B2C customers. However all apps are different and our goal is to offer the most optimal solution with a balanced ratio between cost and result. First of all, a mobile app does not necessarily need to be a native mobile app. In many business applications mobile optimized web sites are indistinguishable from native apps. Next step can be packaging of web apps to native containers which can be distributed via app stores. In addition to distribution benefits such a packed web app (presently progressive web app) can have some native functions (pushes, camera access etc). Finally, if there are strong demands for a truly native app, we are always trying to reduce implementation and maintenance efforts by reusing code. Depending on application focus, we can use means to completely reuse logic without any compromises for performance. It is also possible to reuse UI if there are no very unique requirements.

Embedded development

Common explanation of embedded development is software development for resource constrained devices. Typical examples are routers, modems etc. In addition to that we think that any standalone hardware also requires experience in embedded development. Typical examples are touch screen kiosks. For such hardware, resources are not a constraint. But the nature of typical use, where most of the time they are working maintenance free, requires the same implementation approaches. Nowadays both resource constrained and autonomous devices also are a subject of mass deployment. In this area configuration management becomes essential and we know how to do it right.

Firmware development

It is well known that history has a tendency to evolve by spirale. 10 years ago we were under the impression that C language (one of first high level languages) is out of use. Nowadays it is back to life and with IoT and wearable devices it is number one for effective firmware development. Not necessary, you might need firmware for your own device. In many cases when you deal with stock hardware devices many issues can be avoided if you control firmware of devices. Not only will the final solution be more manageable but the entire package can become simpler if there is an opportunity to make things right on the root level.

Hardware development

Even though hardware development might sound compex, it is not always true. There are a lot of applications, and specifically in the IoT area when dedicated hardware can be the key solution. It can be quite easy to design and which is more important to produce a batch of your own hardware devices. We can design these devices, order and polish prototypes and later arrange a production order. Modern services are offering production almost at a cost of components and PCBs

Operations maintenance

Creating software solutions is the most complex part of the puzzle. However, once you have things done and go live, somebody should take care of the operation. The Internet is like a wild forest, thousands of hackers are hunting around and you have to protect against that. Besides that software typically has a lot of dependencies (databases, 3rd party services) that are constantly changing and you need to keep adapting to that. And for sure you need to backup everything and be prepared for server outages. There are a lot of other things involved. All you need to know is that we can take care of this.

Legacy maintenance

Well, this is not something that we love to do but this is something we can deal with. In many cases customers can be in the situation when some existing solution is still in active use and has a value but there is no possibility to migrate to something more modern. With our deep experience we typically can help to maintain product or operation solving related issues without spending big efforts.
