Connect your business
with IoT development
Connected devices are now far more than consumer products for smart homes. Although growing user adoption is certainly a good sign for the Internet of Things, what’s equally exciting is how it impacts companies across industries.
With digital transformation and digitising businesses comes a possibility to make better use of the data we collect. The IoT, a central segment of Industry 4.0, is a tool to capture information from a vast network of touchpoints, aggregate them in a shared system, and use them to improve your business.

Why invest in IoT software development?
The Internet of Things (IoT) is an idea from the future: connecting devices to a computer network to make them "intelligent" and interlinked. These connections allow us to collect and exchange data, control devices or set a device's rules of action remotely. IoT makes life easier for humans in their daily activities.
As this may be the first picture people see thinking about IoT development, there’s more to that. From manufacturing and logistics, to fintech and healthcare, brands will make more use of IoT than ever before.
In the next decade, the number of deployed IoT devices worldwide will double. Companies who invest in IoT software development, can see the biggest returns as there are still many untapped possibilities.
What is IoT development?
The Internet of Things gives you and your company the possibility to integrate devices used in different processes into a common computer network.
Be it a smart home or smart office solution, healthcare device or tracking system for supply chain management, IoT can improve workflows, get data about devices’ performance, and more.
To take advantage of such systems, you will need to invest in IoT development. It is a process of matching software development with hardware development.
IoT product delivery consists of three consecutive stages:
- The integration of the device and software with the entire work environment is crucial to start validating assumptions with real prototype functions.
- Testing device functions, software, and connections with the required environment allows us to determine whether all business assumptions have been met.
- Adapting the prototype to industrial production. Based on the cost requirements for the production process and device dimensions, we design a device ready for production.
Benefits of CRM Software
Investing in development, you can choose between custom software development and implementing a cloud based, IoT platform. The platform is an architecture connecting your devices within a shared system.
Technologies for IoT development include:
Firmware and embedded software
Encryption and processing algorithms
Hardware interfaces and communication buses
Programmable FPGAs
Wireless communication
Real-Time operation systems

The cost of IoT development
Similarly to custom software development, IoT development cost depends mostly on the complexity of your project. To calculate this cost, the IT company will take into account an hourly rate and seniority of team members chosen for the project and estimate project’s duration.
Depending on the company or your own preference, the billing method can include Time & Material or a Fixed Price. The first one is a typical method for product development, as you pay exactly for the work delivered. This approach is more flexible to changing scope, but it may impact delivery time and budget.
The Fixed-Price contract assumes that the scope won’t change, which puts the risk on the vendor.
