Services ✓ End-to-end solutions, skilled engineering, and comprehensive support to enhance product performance and service quality. Comprehensive Tech Solutions and Expert Consulting

Each project must follow a well-defined set of steps based on careful planning. To respond to each of them, Comarch offers a variety of corresponding services, which start from consulting and designing software architecture. Further into the project, we provide embedded systems, desktop-, web-, and mobile applications development. Programmers are supported by professional project managers and QA engineers. And we can’t forget about the UI and UX design, which is the most end client-facing part of the deal.

Embedded systems

As technology changes every year and the new specifications of protocols such as Bluetooth, UWB, Z-Wave, Zigbee, Thread, Matter, LoRa, WiFi, etc. emerge, companies must not fall behind. They have to keep their product up to date with the latest standards to ensure security and to introduce new attractive features for end customers.

As a technology partner, we help our clients in this pursue for excellence - being there, were there is a need for something new in embedded development. Whether you need to design product architecture, create a new driver, update of your firmware, optimize your device memory usage, support with getting product certified, or connect low-level software with the system and high-level apps - we are here to help with those and many more!

Our embedded systems services encompassed hardware and software development, tests automation, development of drivers, integration with OS-es, and certification process if needed.

Having possessed a deep knowledge of microcontroller’s architecture, we can go beyond the standard embedded development, test your devices, or build a physical HW prototype in our production center called IoT Plant.

Project management

Developers focus on functionalities and coding quality. However, there is much more than that in product development.

Usually, we follow agile project management methodologies like Scrum, with standard sprints, planning, refinement, review, and demoing. We can provide a dedicated Scrum Master and Product Owner as a backlog keeper to complement the development team.

Alternatively, we can choose more classic or custom approach, where the work is managed by a Project Manager, a team member who sees the project with the client's eyes. The PM cares about the promised deadlines, the workflow, the optimal distribution of tasks among team members, and meeting the budget. Also, Project Managers leads clear communication between the project stakeholders.

We are also able to join your existing project management team in any role that is needed.

This way our clients don’t need to worry about managing the process. Instead, they can focus on their core business objectives.

Quality assurance and certification

Quality Assurance Engineers have versatile and often ungrateful role in projects - being responsible for quality. As much as PM focuses on the client’s objectives, the Quality Assurance Engineer (QA) sees it with the end user’s eyes. QAs are guardians of the product and are dedicated to flawless user experience.

Every piece of software must follow the list of requirements specified at the beginning of the development process. Above that level, there might be certain norms or standards that are defined by the industry the final product will operate in. QA engineers keep a vigilant eye on the compliancy, and make sure developers won’t miss a thing.

A critical aspect of a QA engineer’s work is making sure there are no bugs in the source code or in the usability logic of the system. They create testing scenarios that are performed repeatedly every time the new release of the software has been developed. Not only do they perform tests manually, they also write automated tests wherever their applications are the most efficient.

With the QA on board, Comarch can build functional, secure, stable, and future-ready products. QAs guarantee the reliability of your product, protecting it from flaws and making it enjoyable.

Software architecture

Before the first line of a code is written, it is obligatory to think the architecture of the future solution through. In case of embedded systems, it also involves designing the high-level structure of the software that will run on a specialized hardware platform, often with constrained resources like limited memory, processing power, and energy consumption.

Gathering requirements: The client’s requirements are always a starting point. Functional requirements tells us what the software or the embedded system is expected to do (sensor data processing, communication, control logic, managing setting via a companion app, etc.). The more detailed the list of functionalities, the lower the risk of failure. Non-functional requirements may refer to things such as real-time constraints, power consumption, memory optimization, size, and cost. There is much more to that, as legal or standards compliancy is another element that the Software Architect must take into

consideration. The same goes for Safety and Reliability needs. For critical systems (like automotive, medical, or industrial applications), the architecture must account for fault tolerance, safety features (such as fail-safes), and certifications.

Future-readiness: Good architecture makes the product adaptable to changing future. Well-designed code should be modular, scalable, secure, and prone to integrations. In the case of embedded systems, we also must consider things like a layered architecture, components, or RTOS usage, etc. If well-designed, the cost of code maintenance will remain low and predictable.

Based on the requirements and best practices, Software Architects carefully choose technology that will be optimal for each individual project. All these activities are a sine qua non condition to mitigate the risk of product business failure.

Software development

In software development, we follow best practices and (in most cases) an agile approach to project management. This means the use of unit tests, taking care of the quality of the code, and internal code reviews.

For each project, we try to combine senior developers with strong mid-engineers. Such a balance is usually a compromise between the cost and expected quality. In other words, not every single line of code requires 15 years of programming experience.

There is more into that: We make sure that any technology used by our teams is suitable for the solution, maintainable, well documented and verified to work correctly. Fancy, new programming languages and frameworks are good for R&D but not meant to be used in commercial projects.

Technical consultancy

One dollar spent on product discovery is a hundred saved on a product nobody will pay for.

In the universe of connectivity and embedded systems, Comarch often operates on the frontline of the changes. Therefore building proofs of concept and perfomring concept studies is a standard in our work.

Not only do we develop, but we also perform R&D work and consultancy. This includes technical design review, feasibility analysis, architecture consultancy, as well as product hardware and software review.

The consultancy service may also refer to complex regulatory landscapes. It may save clients from problems resulting from missing a wide array of industry standards or regulatory mandates.
