Services

Rapid Software Prototyping

Go from concept to working prototype in weeks, not months. Validate technical feasibility, test your ideas with real software, and reduce risk before committing to full development.

What We Deliver

Working Prototype

A functional application demonstrating core features—not wireframes or slideshows, but real software you can interact with.

Technical Validation

Architecture decisions tested and proven. Know what works before committing to full development.

Risk Reduction

Identify technical challenges early when they're cheap to address, not late when they're expensive.

Clear Next Steps

Documentation, codebase handoff, and recommendations for taking the prototype to production.

Our Process

01

Discovery

Understand your problem, constraints, and success criteria. Define what the prototype needs to prove.

02

Architecture Spike

Validate technical feasibility. Test integrations, prove data flows work, identify risks early.

03

Build

Rapid development focused on core functionality. Regular check-ins to ensure we're solving the right problem.

04

Handoff

Deliver working code, documentation, and clear guidance on production path.

Ideal For

  • Validating a product idea before full investment
  • Investor demos and proof-of-concept builds
  • Testing technical feasibility of sensor or data integrations
  • Internal tools that need quick turnaround
  • De-risking complex system integrations
  • Exploring new technology stacks with real code

Technologies

We work with modern stacks suited to industrial and data-intensive applications.

Frontend
React, Next.js, TypeScript
Backend
Node.js, Python, .NET
Data
PostgreSQL, TimescaleDB, real-time streaming
Cloud
Azure, AWS, Vercel
Industrial
OPC-UA, MQTT, Modbus, custom protocols

Example Projects

Real-time sensor dashboard

Built a live data visualisation prototype for industrial sensors in 3 weeks. Validated data pipeline architecture and UI approach before full build.

Well engineering calculation tool

Prototyped core calculation engine and interactive schematic. Proved technical approach and secured stakeholder buy-in for full product development.

IoT device management portal

Rapid prototype of device provisioning and monitoring system. Tested integration patterns with hardware team before committing to architecture.

Why BartonIQ

Engineering Background

We come from engineering, not just software. We understand physical systems, noisy sensor data, and the constraints of industrial environments.

Production Mindset

Prototypes built with a clear path to production. No throwaway code—foundations you can build on.
