Hardware software integration that makes device, app and cloud work as one.
Most connected products fail at the joins: the protocol between device and app, the sync between device and cloud. We design and build those joins, and test the whole system end to end on your real hardware.

Integration problems we solve.
Every layer works alone
Firmware passes its tests, the app passes its tests, but together the product fails.
No shared protocol
Commands and data formats invented ad hoc, undocumented and different in each version.
Multiple vendors, no owner
A hardware partner, an app agency and a cloud contractor, and nobody responsible for the whole.
Hard to add features
Every new feature needs changes in three places and breaks something else.
What hardware–software integration covers
- System architecture: device, app and cloud
- Versioned command protocol and data model
- Device-to-app links over BLE, Wi-Fi or NFC
- Device-to-cloud messaging and sync
- Provisioning and pairing flows end to end
- Firmware and app version compatibility
- End-to-end tests on real units
- Documentation your teams can build on

Tested as one system, not three.
End-to-end scenarios
Real user journeys from unboxing to update, run on real devices and phones.
Version compatibility
Old firmware with new apps and new firmware with old apps, tested on purpose.
Failure handling
Lost connections, partial syncs and timeouts recovered cleanly.
Joint sessions
We test alongside your hardware team over video when the problem needs both sides.
Hardware software integration: common questions.
Book a 20-min callCan you work alongside our hardware supplier?
Yes. We regularly work with the client's electronics partner: we agree the interface early and test together on real boards.
We already have firmware and an app. Can you just fix the integration?
Yes. We review both sides, define a single protocol and fix the joins without rebuilding what already works.
How much does an integration project cost?
It depends on how many layers need work. Full firmware, app and cloud products start from $30,000; integration fixes are often smaller. The Sprint fixes the price.
Who owns the protocol and code?
You do. Everything is documented and stored in your repositories.
