Software

We build software for uniquely integrated systems on platforms like Linux, Windows, OS X, Android and iOS, using Java, C#, Objective-C, and other programming languages. We develop custom web-based utilities or Software as a Service (SaaS) usable on web-enabled devices. We often use xHTML, HTML5, CSS2, CSS3, Javascript, and Actionscript for the frontend; PHP for the backend and MySQL for the database.

Hardware

We integrate hardware devices and softwares to form automated processing and production systems. We configure and manage servers and clouds to run bespoke applications, and we develop interfaces for consumer devices like Samsung tablets, and for business devices like Zebra Technologies printers. We develop systems that increase a business unit's efficiencies via computerized capabilities.

e-Commerce

We customize the look, feel and functionality of an online shopping or trading experience, integrating with credit card processing, PayPal API, and other payment methods. We also create and maintain branded storefront apps on iPhone, iPad and Android that seamlessly integrate with an online store. We specialize in the Magento e-commerce platform.

Accounting

We integrate business systems that we develop with common accounting softwares such as Quickbooks by Intuit and Peachtree by Sage. We often develop custom overlays and interfaces for unique inventory and sales management, financial reports and monitoring, procurement and purchasing, payroll, and tax accounting.

Mapping

Utilizing APIs to platforms such as Google Maps and GPS-enabled devices, we develop geo-location technologies for use in mapping relative space through time. These applications enable real logistics, and systems that perform functions dependent upon the coordinates of devices or tags (visual targets or RFID).

Shipping

Utilizing APIs to platforms such as FedEx Web Services, we develop packing and shipping interfaces that integrate with custom sales and inventory systems. These applications enable the automation of order fulfillment and the printing of bills of lading and carrier shipping labels.

Barcoding

Our end-to-end barcoding solutions improve data management, integrity, and accessibility, strengthen access control systems, increase productivity, and utilize symbologies in innovative and interactive ways. We often develop applications that generate and read the ubiquitous QR Code format.

Augmented Reality

We create immersive 3D experiences using computer vision-based image recognition. We develop applications that recognize real-world objects as targets for computer-generated content in a viewfinder, enabling an Android or iOS device user to interact with a real environment enhanced with virtual content.

Monetization

In addition to platforms for purchase and sale transactions, we also develop systems that apportion revenue, effecting the transfer of fees, commissions, deductions, discounts, or premiums derived per transaction between two parties or from integrated 3rd party advertising.
