Hardware IoT platforms
Our proven IoT software development process
The IoT development services comprise working on different components of Internet of Things solutions: hardware, software, and network. These components can be developed in parallel, or sequentially depending on the project requirements. In general, for each project, we go through the following stages:
Introduction
The introduction meetings allow you and us to get acquainted with each other, come to terms on further cooperation and sign the service agreement
Project planning
Analyzing the project requirements, estimating the needed time and cost of the project
Architecture design
Designing a secure architecture and software logic: defining how the system components will communicate with each other
Prototyping
A prototype helps validate a business case: test the concept on the target market and make sure the requirements match the expectations
Product development
This step comprises the development of the system components and getting certification if necessary
Testing
Your Internet of Things solution undergoes all the required testing iterations to ensure that the product is good to go
Release & maintenance
Your project is ready to hit the market or serve the internal organizational needs. We support the system with OTA updates and new software versions if required
Ensuring security and scalability in every IoT solution
Choose our custom software development for IoT to build scalable IoT solutions and protect them at every stage and level. Our security practices include protection of IoT endpoints and gateways, cloud API security, data encryption, OTA updates, and other methods. Our specialists are implementing IoT security measures according to the project requirements.

What our clients say
Daniel Burkhalter
Director at Tri-B-Werk
A couple of years ago when I was looking for a competent company to do a job on Qt/C++ I luckily found Vakoms. We made our first test project and it turned out very well. Ever since I have loved to use the services of Vakoms on various projects including know-how in Qt, C++, XOJO, Python, and HTML5.
Dmitriy Itkis
CEO at Biomio
We have worked with Vakoms in the past and know them to be able to find and keep some of the great technical talents in the area. We chose Vakoms to augment our engineering stuff and have been entirely pleased with the experience.

Real-world IoT success stories
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the fundamental components of IoT?
Usually, the IoT components are divided into:
Hardware: devices, sensors, controllers, or any other “hard” components of the system
Connectivity: technologies and protocols to send the data to the cloud (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, WAN, ZigBee, MQTT, and more)
Data processing, or data analytics: converting the collected data into visually understandable information that can be used by a human
User interface: IoT applications directly used by a human to interact with the system — mobile or desktop program
What services are included in IoT development?
Our IoT development services include full-cycle development: IoT consulting, architecture design, IoT web and mobile software development, firmware development, cloud computing, and quality assurance. You can commission us to develop all components of your IoT system or augment your existing development team with our highly experienced engineers in rare technologies.
What sort of security does IoT need?
A reliable IoT system needs to be protected on each level: hardware, firmware, software, and network. The engineers of Vakoms have elaborated several must-have security measures for a reliable IoT system:
Risk assessments
Strong user authentication
Proper data access levels
Timely OTA updates
Network access limitations
Robust data encryption
What kinds of IoT solutions do you build?
Our engineers can build custom IoT solutions for home and industrial IoT automation, monitoring, data collection, predictive maintenance, etc. We create user applications for the web, Android, and iOS for interacting with the IoT system and firmware for various hardware platforms. Vakoms portfolio includes IoT projects for healthcare, food tech, energy and lighting systems, retail, climate control, data visualization, and more.
How much does IoT development cost?
There’s no exact answer to the question without context. The price depends on the complexity of the future system, the number of features, the sensors involved, the technology stack, and other factors. We calculate the approximate cost during the estimation phase.
