HQSoftware

Custom software development is HQSoftware's business, carried out by 125-plus specialists across Europe and the United States. The company takes an idea through strategy, design, build and ongoing run, and it works with both start-ups and larger firms. By its own count, the company has helped 450 business goals through technology since 2001.

Data readiness and AI implementation

The data and AI work begins with an audit of the data a client already holds or could start collecting, to find where AI can add real business value. From there the team guides AI implementation and process automation, with data engineering and infrastructure as code underneath. Projects it lists include a real-time system that learns normal equipment behavior and warns engineers before a breakdown, and a machine learning model that assigns products to warehouse zones based on predicted demand.

AR, VR and simulation projects

Virtual and augmented reality work covers education, manufacturing and healthcare. The company has built VR training simulations with an American startup, helping users learn professional skills, and a VR platform that lets radiologists view CT and MRI scans in volume. Its VR work also includes a training platform for ground handling agents in aviation, which removes the need to visit the physical site for the first phase of training, and an app for medical training and education.

Retail, telecom and IoT applications

For retailers, HQSoftware built a mobile virtual fitting room with Reactive Reality AG, letting online shoppers create an avatar and try on products on their phone. Other applications include a mobile proxy for video cameras and server storage, an AI-driven chatbot for a medical clinic, and a sensor-based IoT system that monitors air health inside a home and sends the data to a cloud backend. The company also builds CRM systems, learning management systems and e-commerce software.

How the team works

The company says its team works with Java, .NET, PHP and Node.js, and that it can start a small project within two weeks and a larger one within a month. Clients receive a prototype within five days, and each engagement can begin with a short pilot to test fit. A quality office oversees budgets and deadlines, progress is tracked through shared tools, and the company gives IP rights, security assurance and non-disclosure agreements as standard.
