End-to-end IoT solution with firmware, cloud, and dashboard that all actually talk to each other

Nathan Prescott / VP of Technology - Ironclad Insurance Group

Project summary: Grid modernisation funding required us to demonstrate demand-response capability. The machine learning models existed on paper; we needed an engineering partner to build and productionise them.

We had worked with three agencies before this engagement. The comparison is not flattering to the others. What distinguished this team was a systematic approach to understanding the problem before proposing a solution — something that sounds obvious and is practiced far less often than it should be. The delivery phase ran to schedule, the codebase is clean enough that our internal engineers made positive comments during handover review, and we have not logged a critical incident in five months of live operation. We intend to use them for our next phase of work.

PROS

Commercially transparent throughout — no hidden assumptions, no bill shock at the end, change requests that were fair and clearly explained rather than used as a margin-recovery mechanism

CONS

Their discovery process is more rigorous than we were accustomed to and required more preparation from our side than we had initially allocated — but the quality of what followed justified every hour of it

Questions & Answers

Please describe your company, your role, and the industry you operate in.
Ironclad Insurance Group is an established Energy & Utilities organisation headquartered in New York, USA. My role as VP of Technology covers both strategic planning and operational technology delivery. We maintain high standards for our vendors because our clients hold us to high standards — a bar we expect our partners to meet.
What specific problem or business challenge led you to hire this company?
We had a defined product vision for our next phase of growth in the Energy & Utilities market but lacked the engineering depth internally to execute it. The IoT Development requirements in particular required specialist experience that we could not realistically recruit for on the timeline our business plan required.
What services did the company provide for your project?
Primarily IoT Development, with adjacent work in solution architecture and quality assurance. They were responsible for the full build from requirements through to go-live, including integration with four existing systems in our technology landscape. The breadth they covered without requiring additional vendors was commercially and logistically valuable.
Why did you choose this company over other providers you considered?
A trusted peer in the Energy & Utilities sector had used them for a comparable IoT Development engagement and their recommendation was unequivocal. Our own due diligence confirmed the pattern they described. The combination of domain knowledge, IoT Development depth, and demonstrated delivery discipline was the deciding factor.
How clearly did the company understand your requirements and business goals?
Comprehensively. The discovery phase they ran was more thorough than anything we had experienced with previous vendors. They challenged requirements that were vague or contradictory, proposed alternatives where our initial thinking was limiting, and produced a functional specification that our internal stakeholders agreed was the clearest articulation of the product they had seen written down.
How was your overall experience with their communication and project management?
Outstanding. The discipline around asynchronous communication was particularly effective given the time zones involved between New York, USA and the delivery team. Written updates were specific and consistent, response times were same-day for anything that required a decision, and nothing fell through the cracks across a six-month engagement.
Did the company deliver the project on time and within your expected budget?
Yes to both. There was a single sprint where a dependency on a third-party API introduced a one-week delay. The team identified it three weeks in advance, presented two mitigation options, and we agreed on an approach that recovered the schedule within the same sprint cycle. That level of foresight is what separates good project management from reactive problem management.
What tangible results or business impact have you seen since the project was completed?
Quantifying the impact precisely is complicated by other variables in our business, but the metrics we can attribute directly to the IoT Development work are meaningful: session duration up, conversion rate up, error rate down, and our NPS for the digital touchpoint has improved by eleven points. Our account managers report that the new capability is coming up positively in client conversations.
What did you like most about working with this company?
The willingness to be direct. When our requirements were unclear they said so. When our priorities were contradictory they explained why. When a technical approach we had assumed was the right one turned out to have significant downsides, they told us before we had committed to it. That kind of intellectual honesty is what I look for in a long-term technology partner.
Would you recommend this company to others, and would you work with them again?
Yes, without reservation. I have already made two direct referrals within my Energy & Utilities network — in both cases to peers facing IoT Development challenges similar to ours. I gave those referrals with confidence because I knew the experience I described was reproducible, not the result of exceptional circumstances on our engagement.

FAQs

Would Softeq be a good fit for an early-stage startup?
Generally, yes — companies like Softeq tend to work well with startups because of what they typically offer: MVP builds, product strategy input, architecture that can scale later, and dedicated teams that keep costs manageable while still moving fast. For context, it has served clients in USA, and it has been operating since 1997.
What should I expect to pay to work with Softeq?
What Softeq charges comes down to a handful of variables — how complex the project is, the number of development hours involved, the tech stack required, team size, and which engagement model you pick. Based on available data, Softeq's typical hourly rate is around $50 - $99, with an average project cost of $25000+.
Does Softeq actually build with AI, or just talk about it?
Plenty of modern software teams, Softeq included, now build real AI and machine learning features — chatbots, predictive models, computer vision, and automation that goes beyond simple rule-based scripts. For context, it has experience across industries such as Events & Event Management, Logistics & Supply Chain, Energy & Utilities, Advertising & Marketing and Aerospace & Defense, and its typical hourly rate is around $50 - $99.
What does Softeq's actual delivery process look like week to week?

For context, its listed capabilities span Custom Software Development, Internet of Things, Mobile App Development, UI-UX Design and Wearable App Development, and its typical hourly rate is around $50 - $99.
Will Softeq sign an NDA before we even discuss the project in detail?
Most professional shops, including Softeq, expect to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement before getting into specifics — it's a fairly standard ask and a reasonable one to make before sharing anything sensitive. For context, it has served clients in USA, and its listed capabilities span Custom Software Development, Internet of Things, Mobile App Development, UI-UX Design and Wearable App Development.
Has Softeq actually shipped a SaaS product before?
It's a common line of work for a company like Softeq — multi-tenant architecture, subscription billing hooked up properly, and cloud-native deployment built for a product meant to scale as a service rather than a one-off build. For context, its listed capabilities span Custom Software Development, Internet of Things, Mobile App Development, UI-UX Design and Wearable App Development, and its average project cost is reported at $25000+.
What kinds of industries has Softeq actually built for?

What's the easiest way to actually get in touch with Softeq?
Most businesses reach Softeq through its website, a direct email, or a contact form — any of which works for discussing what you need, booking an initial conversation, or asking for a rough estimate. For context, it has experience across industries such as Events & Event Management, Logistics & Supply Chain, Energy & Utilities, Advertising & Marketing and Aerospace & Defense, and it reports a team size of 50 - 249 professionals.
Is Softeq more of an offshore setup or a local team?
That depends on where Softeq is based and who they primarily serve — some firms like this operate fully offshore, some are local-first, and plenty run a hybrid model that mixes both. For context, its listed capabilities span Custom Software Development, Internet of Things, Mobile App Development, UI-UX Design and Wearable App Development, and its typical hourly rate is around $50 - $99.
