01
IoT & Embedded
Connected devices that survive the real world. We design the hardware. We write the firmware. We pick the right radio for the job.
Octopi Solutions Est. 2020
Eight disciplines. One team.
We design and ship smart systems end‑to‑end. IoT sensors through computer vision through cloud automation. Plus the integration glue between them.

§ 01 / Capabilities
Four disciplines, one bench.
Hardware, software, AI: same room. The awkward parts between them stop being awkward.
02
Vision & AI
Pixels into decisions. Number plate recognition. Attribute classification. Anomaly detection. Built on the right model for the job.
03
Software & Cloud
Apps, dashboards, APIs that scale. AWS-native. Readable code. A maintenance story you can live with.
04
Automation & Integration
Tying systems together. Sensors to dashboards. Devices to people. Data to action. The plumbing that turns parts into a product.
§ 02 / Process
From idea to running system, without drama.
A short, honest path from conversation to deployed product. No black boxes. No surprises. Just regular notes and steady progress.
-
Step 01
Discover
We start with the problem, not the tech. A short call, a clear scope, an honest estimate.
-
Step 02
Design
Architecture, hardware spec, UX, whatever the project needs. You see the plan before we build a thing.
-
Step 03
Build
Iterative engineering with weekly progress notes. You can poke at it as it grows.
-
Step 04
Deliver
Deployment. Training. Support after launch. We stay until it's actually working.

§ 04 / About
Cross-disciplinary by design. Not by accident.
Octopi Solutions was founded in 2020 to do the work most consultancies push to a sub-contractor: the awkward seam between hardware, software, the cloud.
We're a small studio that ships unusually broad systems. A number-plate gate that opens itself. A beacon network that builds attendance reports. A LoRa link replacing a cellular bill. Most of our work lives at the intersection of disciplines. That's exactly why we stay generalists.

01
End-to-end ownership
Hardware to cloud, one team. Fewer hand-offs, fewer surprises.
-
02
Honest engineering
Code you can read, weekly progress notes, no black boxes.
-
03
Africa-first thinking
Designed for unreliable networks, harsh environments, real budgets.
