Novaia Home is a connected platform for care homes: a mobile app, a web app with a dashboard, and sensor integrations, working together as one system.

The starting point

Connecting the sensors in a care home to an app the staff can rely on is not a simple brief. Novaia Home came to us to build the platform that does it, and to explain every step along the way.

What we built

Three parts that work as one: a mobile app, a web app with its dashboard, and the sensor integrations with the data flows that support them. We also wrote the custom algorithms the platform relies on, and a design system that keeps every screen consistent.

How we worked

We scoped the three parts together before building any of them, because each depends on the others. The sensor integrations and their data flows came first, then the mobile app and the web app, then the work of making all three behave as one platform.

Where it is now

The platform is in use in Novaia Home's care homes. In the client's words, their teams trust what it tells them.

How it was built

Inside the product

Testimonial

In their words.

Connecting the sensors in our care homes to an app the staff can rely on was not a simple brief. Bespoke IT wrote the custom algorithms, built the app and the web app, and explained every step along the way. Our teams trust what it tells them.

Industries

The same problem, industry by industry.

The industry this project sits in comes first. Pick another to see how the problem shows up there, and what we build for it.

Healthcare and clinics

The problem

The front desk spends the morning on reminder calls and rebookings. Patient records sit in one system, invoices in another, and nobody sees which patients have quietly stopped coming back.

What we build

A patient app and clinic dashboard built on foundations that hold at the second clinic and the tenth. We built Zovi this way.

Professional services

The problem

Senior people spend their evenings on time sheets, engagement letters and status reports. Knowledge lives in inboxes, so every new case starts from a blank page.

What we build

A client portal or a productised service, built to scale past the first ten customers.

Manufacturing

The problem

Orders arrive as PDFs and emails and get typed into SAP by hand. Planning runs on a spreadsheet that one person understands.

What we build

Industrial software for a new product line, built to talk to your customers' SAP from the first release.

Retail and e-commerce

The problem

Customer service answers the same twenty questions all day. Returns are processed by hand, and by Friday the shop, the stock and the books disagree.

What we build

A commerce product or marketplace built for the traffic your launch plan promises.

Logistics and travel

The problem

Bookings, changes and documents arrive by email at all hours. The team types them into three systems, and customers call to ask where things stand.

What we build

A booking or travel product built on the integrations that make it work. We built Valhalla Trip this way.

Finance and insurance

The problem

Applications and claims arrive as documents and get checked by hand against rules everyone knows by heart. Every audit means a week of collecting evidence.

What we build

A fintech or insurtech product built with the audit trail and access control your regulator will ask about.

Software and SaaS

The problem

The roadmap is full, support tickets keep pulling engineers off it, and the internal tools are scripts nobody owns.

What we build

A first version with the architecture, pipelines and documentation to grow on, so month nine isn't a rewrite.
