Connected product development for hardware companies.
We build and stabilize the software layer of connected products: mobile app, BLE and Wi-Fi connectivity, backend and cloud: so a working prototype becomes a reliable product, not a permanent demo.
Your hardware works. Your software is the risk.
Teams usually reach us in one of these situations:
Everything between your hardware and your customer.
Product & software architecture
Android app development
BLE & Wi-Fi integration
Backend & cloud
Reliability engineering
Production readiness
One product. Four boundaries. That's where it breaks.
Every connected product crosses the same boundaries: device to app, app to backend, backend to cloud. Each one is a place where state can diverge, and where a demo quietly differs from a product.
What ships from the prototype phase
The architecture we build instead
Blue = the recommended architecture. Red is reserved for failures.
These nine failure points sit between the systems, not inside them. That's why we take responsibility across the boundaries.
Technical condition → business consequence.
Unstable connections in the field
Every dropped connection becomes a confused user, then a support ticket, then a review. Reliability work pays for itself in support cost.
Inconsistent device, app and cloud state
When three systems disagree about the truth, users stop trusting all of them. Sync architecture decides which product you actually ship.
Prototype architecture at its limit
Code written to prove feasibility rarely carries scale, versioning and recovery. Caught early, that's a plan: caught late, a rewrite.
Difficult onboarding & provisioning
The first ten minutes with the product decide returns and ratings. Pairing and Wi-Fi setup deserve engineering, not hope.
Firmware / app version drift
Fielded devices run old firmware forever. Compatibility has to be designed: otherwise every release risks breaking someone's device.
Launch dates slipping on software
Hardware is ready; software keeps finding new edge cases. Naming risks early converts surprises into a schedule.
Assessment before architecture. Architecture before code.
Product & architecture assessment
Risks & dependencies, named
Architecture for the whole chain
Incremental development & integration
Failure testing & production preparation
Operation & evolution
A demo proves the happy path once. Production is every path, every day.
The distance between a working prototype and a reliable product is a defined set of engineering topics: none of them visible in a demo. We make them explicit, then work through them deliberately.

Frequently asked questions
Honest answers to the usual questions.
Do you develop the complete product or only the mobile application?
We take responsibility for the software layer: mobile app, connectivity, backend and cloud integration, and the architecture that connects them. Hardware and firmware stay with your team: we integrate closely with both.
Can you work with our existing firmware?
Yes. We integrate against your existing protocol and communication layer. Where the protocol itself blocks reliability, we specify the changes precisely so your firmware team can implement them.
Can you improve an existing connected-device app?
Yes. Most engagements start from existing software. An architecture review comes first, so improvements target the actual causes: not the symptoms.
Can you help move a prototype into production?
That transition is the core of this service. We assess what the prototype proves and what production additionally requires: then close the gap in planned, testable increments.
Do you work with internal engineering teams?
Yes: partnership rather than outsourcing. We work alongside your hardware, firmware and product people, and make the reasoning behind every architecture decision explicit.
Can we start with a review before committing to development?
Yes. The Connected Product Blueprint is a one-week planning engagement: architecture review, risk identification and a sequenced set of recommendations : useful on its own, whoever builds afterwards.
Discuss the software architecture behind your connected product.
Share your product stage, hardware platform, connectivity setup and main technical challenge. We'll tell you honestly whether an architecture review, a focused integration project, or a broader engagement fits, or whether we're not the right partner.
