We are a small technology company based in South Oxfordshire / Reading, Berks area, with offices in the UK and Germany, doing pretty well, certainly punching above our weight, but with huge upside potential. We are at an inflexion point, now moving to scale-up.
We already service 250+ customers in 22 countries across many sectors including Healthcare, Bio-tech, Pharma, Food Retail & Manufacturing, Hospitality, Catering, etc., but we've moved on.....as well as food / medicine / vaccine safety & regulatory compliance, we also monitor environmental conditions, leak detection, gas detection, water use, legionella and more. In support of better global sustainability, our next development looks to optimise energy use and help companies to reduce their carbon footprint. We provide the full system i.e. sensors, wireless communication, cloud platform, and full installation with other services including calibration. Of course, AI and other advances are next.
OK....that's us. Now about you....
