Project Summary

Ars Futura provides staff augmentation support to an IoT company in the life-science/biotech space, assisting with backend, frontend, mobile (Android) and cloud-oriented work. They act as an extension of the client's team, are communicative and adaptable, and have helped accelerate early-stage development across multiple stacks.

Key Challenges

Building a complex vertical stack spanning hardware, communication, visualizations, and multiple software layers.
Need to fill gaps with engineers who could hit the ground running and integrate into the core team.

Project Deliverables

Backend development
Frontend UI implementation
Backend database work
Alert and notification services
Android mobile products
IoT monitoring frontend GUI
Cloud-oriented processes

Project Solution

Ars Futura provided remote staff augmentation for full-stack and mobile development. They worked on backend and frontend UI implementation, backend database work, alert and notification services, Android mobile products, an IoT monitoring frontend GUI built on Ruby, and cloud-oriented processes. They did not work on hardware and integrated via daily standups and shared tooling (Jira, Slack, Confluence).

Project Outcome

The vendor became an extension of the client's team and helped improve early-stage progress.
The team was described as top-notch and recommended to other founders.
The vendor was transparent about skill limitations (e.g., Python) and adaptable; the main operational challenge was the time difference.
