# IoT Development and Integration Services > IoT software development by a founder-led team: secure device connectivity, cloud IoT platforms, dashboards, mobile apps and business system integration. Source: https://authect.com/services/iot Connect your devices, sites and systems into one reliable platform that turns sensor data into better decisions, built by a founder-led team of senior engineers. ## What you get with Authect's IoT development An IoT product is only as good as its weakest link: the firmware, the connection, the cloud platform, the app or the integration with the systems your business runs on. We build **the software across that whole chain**, so data flows reliably from the device to the people who need it and commands flow safely back. A senior engineer leads your IoT project from the first sensor prototype to fleet-wide rollout, and the founders stay close to every decision. **Security is designed in from the start**, with device identity, encrypted connections and over-the-air updates, and the platform, data and code belong to you, not to us or a single vendor. ## What our IoT development and integration service covers Whether you're connecting your first device or bringing scattered systems together, we take your idea from requirements to a platform running in the field. ### Business analysis and consulting We start with the outcome you want, whether that's less downtime, lower energy use or a new connected product, and work back to the devices, data and connectivity it needs. Together we choose sensors, protocols and platforms, estimate running costs and plan a pilot that proves the value before you scale. ### Custom IoT app development We build the software your connected product needs: device firmware integration, gateways, the cloud back-end that ingests and stores the data, and the dashboards and mobile apps people use to monitor and control it. Everything is tested against real hardware, flaky networks included. ### Integration of ready-made solutions Already have devices or an off-the-shelf IoT platform? We connect it to your ERP, maintenance, logistics or customer systems, clean up the data on the way and add the reporting and automation that make it useful, without replacing what already works. > Bring your devices, sites and data together on one platform.

[Contact Authect](https://authect.com/contact) ## The value of IoT development and integration for your business 1. **Operations connected across locations**: Warehouses, plants, vehicles and shops reporting into one platform give you a live view of what's happening everywhere, instead of a weekly spreadsheet from each site. 2. **Processes run from one place**: Bringing devices, applications and data flows into a single platform means one set of rules, one set of dashboards and one place to change how things work. 3. **Cheaper testing and planning**: Digital twins, virtual models fed with live data from real equipment, let you test changes, predict failures and plan maintenance without taking anything offline. 4. **Smarter experiences for your customers**: Data from smart meters, wearables and connected products lets you personalise services, warn customers before something fails and offer features competitors can't. 5. **A connected business ecosystem**: Mobile apps, partner integrations and APIs on top of your device data extend its value beyond operations to customers, suppliers and new services. 6. **Simpler integration and management**: Device onboarding, monitoring and over-the-air updates managed from one console, with AI-assisted analytics that flag anomalies so your team acts on the readings that matter. ## Our IoT development scope and offerings ### Secure device, server and cloud connectivity Device-to-device, device-to-gateway and device-to-cloud communication over MQTT, HTTPS, BLE, LoRaWAN or cellular, with certificates for every device, encrypted traffic and safe over-the-air updates. ### IoT platforms for integration and management A central platform to register, monitor and update devices of different types, collect and process their data in real time, and apply rules and analytics that support better decisions. ### Indoor positioning and asset tracking Location tracking inside buildings with beacons, ultra-wideband or RFID, connected to mobile apps and back-office systems, for smarter inventory, faster picking and better visibility of equipment. ### Remote monitoring and inspection Software that collects readings, images and video from sensors, cameras and drones at hard-to-reach sites, so inspections become safer, more frequent and easier to compare over time. ### Connected vehicles and telematics Fleet-wide collection of location, fuel, engine and driver data in real time, with dashboards, alerts and route insights that cut idle time and keep vehicles on the road. ### Smart buildings and connected interiors Lighting, heating, energy and access control brought into one app or voice interface, with usage monitoring, automation and instant alerts when something needs attention. ## Why choose Authect as your IoT software development partner 1. **Senior engineers across the whole stack**: The same senior-led team works on the device integration, the cloud platform and the apps, so nothing gets lost between separate vendors and you always talk to the people building it. 2. **Data and AI built in**: We design the data pipeline with the analytics in mind, so your device data is clean, stored sensibly and ready for dashboards, forecasting and machine learning from the start. 3. **Prove it before you scale it**: We like to start with a focused proof of concept on a handful of devices, so you see real data and real value before committing to a full rollout. 4. **Security and privacy by design**: Device identity, encryption, least-privilege access and update mechanisms are part of the first design, and we build to the data protection rules that apply in your markets. ## The platforms and protocols we work with We're vendor-neutral. We recommend an IoT platform based on your devices, your existing cloud and your expected costs, and design the system so **you can change providers later** without rebuilding everything. The cloud accounts, device certificates and code are **yours from day one**, documented so your team or anyone else can run them. ### Cloud IoT platforms - **AWS IoT**: AWS IoT Core, Greengrass for edge processing and the wider AWS data services for storage and analytics. - **Microsoft Azure IoT**: Azure IoT Hub, Device Provisioning Service and IoT Edge, a natural fit for organisations already on Microsoft. - **Open-source and self-hosted**: MQTT brokers such as Mosquitto and EMQX, and time-series databases such as TimescaleDB and InfluxDB, when you need full control. ### Connectivity and devices - **Messaging protocols**: MQTT, CoAP, AMQP and HTTPS, chosen for the device's power, bandwidth and reliability needs. - **Wireless networks**: Bluetooth Low Energy, Wi-Fi, LoRaWAN, Zigbee and cellular IoT such as LTE-M and NB-IoT. - **Industrial systems**: Modbus, OPC UA and existing SCADA systems, connected through gateways without disrupting production. ## IoT development FAQs ### What does IoT software development include? It covers everything between the device and the people using its data: firmware integration and gateways, secure connectivity, a cloud platform that ingests and stores the data, rules and analytics, dashboards and mobile apps, and integrations with your business systems. We can build the whole chain or the parts you're missing. ### Do you build hardware? We focus on software. We work with your hardware team or manufacturer, or help you choose off-the-shelf devices and sensors, and make sure the software and hardware fit together from the first prototype. ### How do you keep connected devices secure? Every device gets its own identity and certificate, traffic is encrypted end to end, access follows least privilege and devices can receive signed over-the-air updates. We also plan for the unhappy paths, such as lost devices, expired certificates and compromised credentials. ### Can you connect our existing devices and systems? Usually, yes. We integrate with existing devices, industrial protocols and IoT platforms through gateways and APIs, then connect the data to your ERP, maintenance or customer systems, so you build on what you already have. ### How do we start an IoT project? With a short discovery and a focused pilot. We agree on the outcome you want to measure, connect a small number of devices end to end and show you real data in a working dashboard. If the pilot proves its value, we plan the rollout from there. ## About Authect - Authect is a founder-led software development studio: clients talk to the founders who build their project, never a salesperson. - Every project is led by a senior engineer.
