Make Connected Devices Easier to Use,Manage, and Improve
A smart device is only as useful as the software surrounding it. SDI develops the mobile apps, web portals, cloud services, and device-management features that help people set up connected products, understand their data, and control supported functions.
Companion Apps & Device Experience
Why do smart devices feel complicatedafter customers take them home?
Setup problems, unclear connectivity, and confusing controls can turn an impressive piece of hardware into a frustrating product. SDI develops connected-device applications for provisioning, onboarding, status views, notifications, and permitted remote actions.
Give users a clear experience from first pairing through daily use, whether the device connects through Bluetooth Low Energy, Wi-Fi, cellular, or a gateway.
Defined connected-device software engineering is available at $35/hour.
Device Lifecycle Software
What happens when thousands of devicesneed an update or a new feature?
Devices need reliable identities, version awareness, configuration handling, and a way to recover from interrupted communication. Depending on the platform, SDI can build services around device twins or shadows, remote diagnostics, and staged over-the-air update workflows.
We consider signed firmware packages, access permissions, rollout groups, offline states, and compatibility between the device, application, and cloud services.
The Connected Product Experience
Which software features makea physical product more valuable?
Focus on the tasks customers and support teams perform most often.
Companion Apps
CONTROL WITH CONFIDENCE
Build iOS, Android, or web experiences for pairing, settings, notifications, status, and authorized device commands.
Device Management
SUPPORT AT SCALE
Track enrolled devices, firmware versions, configuration states, and diagnostics through a controlled management portal.
Cloud APIs
KEEP SYSTEMS CONNECTED
Exchange device events and approved user actions through secure APIs, MQTT messaging, and backend services.
Connected Product Reliability
How do you keep the device,app, and cloud in sync?
SDI designs data contracts, state synchronization, retry behavior, and version compatibility before deployment. We test pairing failures, stale status information, authorization, intermittent networks, and device reset scenarios.
For devices that collect sensitive information or control physical functions, access rights, privacy, and appropriate user confirmation are built into the experience.
