Software engineering, from the app on your phone to the plant room

Fiabtec designs, builds and runs web and mobile products, data platforms and cloud infrastructure, and the building-automation and industrial software most firms won’t touch. One engineering team, from the first sketch to production.

Our specialty: software for building and industrial systems.

Team, end to end
1

Design, build, QA, cloud and support, without vendor hand-offs.

What we do

Eleven services, one engineering team

Pick one, or let them work together: the same team can design the app, build the data platform behind it, run it in the cloud and connect it to the equipment it depends on.

Build

Products and platforms, designed and engineered end to end

Data & cloud

Reliable data and the platforms it runs on

Run & scale

Keeping software safe, tested and moving forward

Buildings, energy & IoT

Our specialty: the software behind building and industrial systems

Sound familiar?

Problems we’re called in to solve

Most of our projects start with one of these.

An idea that needs to reach real users

A new product, a deadline and no team to build it. We help shape the smallest release that proves the idea, and build it on foundations that can grow.

A system nobody wants to touch

Business-critical software on an out-of-support stack, and the people who wrote it are long gone. We modernize it step by step, without switching the business off.

Data everywhere, answers nowhere

Numbers that disagree between departments and reports built by hand every Monday. We build the pipelines, the single source of truth and the dashboards on top.

Equipment the vendor calls “unsupported”

Plant-critical machines with undocumented protocols and data trapped on site. If it communicates at all, we can usually decode it and bring it into your systems.

Process

From first conversation to production

The same disciplined lifecycle for an app, a data platform or a Niagara driver.

  1. Discovery

    Workshops, a look at what exists, and a written scope with priorities and an estimate.

  2. Design

    Prototypes, architecture and data models agreed before production code is written.

  3. Build

    Two-week sprints with demos, automated tests and continuous integration on every change.

  4. Launch & run

    Staged release, monitoring, documentation and a support plan, or a team that stays.

Why Fiabtec

Engineers who understand the whole system

Most software firms stop at the edge of the IT network. We grew up on the other side of it, writing software for building and industrial systems, where code must be correct, efficient and maintainable for decades. That discipline goes into every app, platform and model we build.

  • Full cycle, one teamDesign, development, QA, cloud and support, without hand-offs between vendors.
  • From sensor to screenWe connect the devices, the data and the apps, so nothing gets lost between them.
  • Documented & maintainableReadable code, automated tests and documentation with every release.
  • Long-term supportVersioned releases, monitoring and upgrades long after launch.

  1. Business rules are pinned down by fast unit tests that run on every commit.
  2. API and contract tests catch the change that would have broken another team’s app.
  3. Real user journeys run in real browsers and screen sizes before anything ships.

Our specialty

Deep expertise in buildings, energy and IoT

Behind the general practice sits a rare specialty: custom software for the Niagara Framework and the building-automation and industrial systems around it. We write native modules and drivers, integrate equipment the vendor calls unsupported, and turn station data into energy savings you can verify.

It is also why our data and cloud work is unusually good with operational data: we know where it comes from.

The Niagara Framework, explained

Where we work

Industries we serve

Different sectors, the same need: software that fits how the work is really done.

Manufacturing

Machine data, OEE and downtime analysis.

Healthcare

Private-by-design apps and critical environments.

Logistics

Tracking, driver apps and planning data.

Insights

Guides from our engineers

Practical, vendor-neutral writing from the problems we work on every day.

System integration

Integrating undocumented legacy equipment into Niagara 4

The manufacturer is gone, the manual is missing, and the equipment still runs the plant. A step-by-step look at how undocumented devices become native Niagara points — without putting operations at risk.
