05

IoT systems optimization and modernization

Do you feel like your IoT system is out of pace? Vention’s IoT software development services can bring your systems back in the game, even if they’re still running on ALGOL. And if you're ready to push further, we’ll integrate advanced technology and help you implement edge computing to improve your efficiency.

Implementing an IoT application brings a host of advantages. Beyond optimizing operations and automating processes, IoT can significantly improve service quality and reduce the risk of fraud, which are often overlooked benefits.

However, when legacy systems are involved, a custom IoT solution might not be the best option. In these cases, it’s important to proceed carefully. A discovery workshop helps us assess the required resources and determine whether the project is viable before committing to full-scale development.”

Our clients’ success speaks for us

All cases

Testimonials

“Engineers worked on several projects across the business. They assisted us in building a new React/Python app called Smart Cleaning Pro. This was an all-new flagship product for the company and represented a significant investment. It integrated custom IoT sensors, feeding data through our data pipelines. We created a new UI experience, backed by a mixture of new & existing backend services.

With their help, we built the software aspect of the new flagship product in approximately 8 months; we reduced the time spent manually responding to incidents by 50%; we reduced the costs associated with data ingest and processing by 25%.”

Head of Engineering at Infogrid

Testimonials

“First they held an exploratory meeting with their development person here in the U.S… Their proposal seemed reasonable based on the proposals we got from other companies. Once we were ready to proceed, they sent us the resumes of people they recommended to be on the team. We interviewed them and chose the ones that we liked.

The product is very successful, and their work has been outstanding. The service they provide is outstanding. They’re excellent engineers who know all the tools. An advantage to working with Vention is that they're big, so that if one employee leaves, they have replacements at the ready. Plus, they don't bill us for the knowledge transfer time. We had one employee turnover, but the transfer was completely seamless. When we wanted to add a QA person, they had a great resume for us the next day.”

CEO at Carson Living, Inc

Testimonials

“Our web application and mobile apps were looking a little dated and somewhat dissimilar from each other. We also needed more capacity on the backend team to quickly release some important road map features.

Over the half-year engagement, the Vention developers helped us deliver substantial improvements to the platform, mobile apps, and web apps. The developers were highly competent and eager. The workflow was great. The developers adopted our software development process and practices and participated as full members of the development team.”

CTO at Dropcountr

Testimonials

“They have a lot of senior, talented engineers who are experienced building hot technologies and architectures. The biggest differentiator for me, as a hiring manager in Boston, is being able to have access to senior people with experience at a reasonable price. This is almost impossible to find, but Vention has done a good job of building a large team that can scale along with a company and offering the right talent.

We have a scalable, reliable cloud backend that powers our product in the field. It evolved successfully as the business grew, and we were able to add features when needed. It’s based on open-source technology, which allowed us to own the cloud architecture. Many startups would have been forced to partner with an IoT backend-as-a-service, basically trapping that product and data in a third-party system. As a result, we completely own our data and the whole cloud architecture, which became a differentiator for the company.”

Former VP of Engineering at an IoT manufacturer

Testimonials

“The success of the project was determined by how the final product fit the intended use case and the number of end-user complaints. Regarding UI, backend data logs, and responsiveness, the app has performed very well. Considering those elements, the app was a success.

I was impressed by their ability to understand what was asked and turn the question into functional solutions that accounted for the literal request and potential pitfalls. They delivered a solution that didn’t create additional issues, which I’ve seen when working with other vendors. Vention managed complexity and found efficient, clean solutions.”
