Our own PCB design, firmware and field devices, concept to manufacture.
Cellular, LoRaWAN and Wi-Fi networks that carry the data.
Reviews, hardening, and evidencing compliance to funders and regulators.
Equipment and licences chosen on merit, because we also run what we sell.
who we are
Building software and hardware — one accountable team, on open-source foundations, hosted in the cloud, on your VPS, or on-premise inside local borders.
Why Iota
Device, network, telemetry and business system — one team, not four vendors.
Our design, our firmware, our revisions.
No per-user licence traps, no lock-in — the system stays yours.
Practical understanding of this market, support in your time zone.
Selected work
Client names on request.
What clients say
They designed the tracking hardware, wrote the firmware, and stood up the dashboard — we never had to coordinate between three different vendors.
Moving to ERPNext meant we stopped paying for licence seats we weren't using. The system scales with our headcount instead of penalising it.
The security review gave us a written record we could actually hand to our donor — not just a verbal assurance that things were fine.
FAQ
We build on ERPNext and Frappe rather than a proprietary ERP. That means no per-user licence traps as a client's headcount grows, and the client keeps ownership of their own data and system.
Yes. The same system can run in the cloud, on your own VPS, or fully on-premise inside local borders — whichever matches your compliance or data-residency needs.
We design our own PCBs, write our own firmware, and take field devices from concept through to manufacture — we're not just reselling and configuring third-party hardware.
Cellular, LoRaWAN and Wi-Fi, matched to the device: cellular for anything mobile, LoRaWAN for low-power fixed sensors, Wi-Fi for devices already on a wired site network.
Yes — logistics, manufacturing, NGO & donor-funded, retail & distribution, financial services and government are all sectors we serve, including cybersecurity reviews that produce documented evidence for funders and regulators.
