Software Design
Embed expert software developers into your electronics component project for a unified solution.
Unrivalled Software, Synchronised Hardware
From lift user interfaces to data centre energy management, our software engineers excel in both design and implementation - blending perfectly with our electronic component design and manufacturing capabilities. Being technology agnostic, we ensure the most appropriate software solution is tailored to your product, resonating seamlessly with the PCB assembly and Box Build services we provide.
Code for Every Application, Optimised for Every Component
Leverage our extensive software development experience spanning:
- Fully embedded solutions harmonised with processors from tiny AVRs and PICs to large multi-core devices, including ARM Cortex-M and Cortex-A devices.
- Application development for Windows and Linux platforms.
- Linux kernel, driver development and deployment alongside superior hardware integration.
- Web-based user interfaces and portals.
- IoT solutions and cloud backends, further enriched with our PCB assembly expertise.
- Database design and implementation.
- A wide array of programming languages, ranging from static (assembler, C, C++, C#) to dynamic, such as Python and JavaScript.

Cut Costs with Integrated Solutions That Innovate
When you work with BitBox, you’ll stay on plan - and on budget. Our extensive software code libraries and vast experience will accelerate development, all while saving you time and money. Our integrated approach minimises design costs for low-volume products and ensures a very favourable cost-per-part for higher volumes. Together, we’re sure to find the most appropriate and cost-effective solution, tailored to your requirements.
Complete Peace of Mind
Our robust revision control and detailed record keeping - paired with ISO9001:2015 processes - provide a strong foundation of confidence and quality assurance throughout every project. We use a manufacturing database to ensure complete control and record the software installed on each production unit. This holistic approach ensures your device is not only robust, reliable and ready for the real world, but also well-supported and high performing - thanks to the perfect harmony between our software design and electronic component manufacturing expertise.
Frequently asked questions
Can I work with BitBox on both software development and the electronics design aspects of my project? Do I have the ability to pick and choose based on my requirements?
Absolutely! We work with lots of different customers', some of which have larger engineering teams than ours! In these cases, we can handle 'overspill' projects with no fuss. Ultimately, it all comes down to your requirements and if that's only one or the other, that's just fine.
We will review what your existing component specifications are and redesign or specify a suitable alternative, if required. In tandem, as soon as our engineers have specified the alternative component(s), our procurement team will source these immediately to provide you with appropriate stock for as long as needed.
Do you require initial external code to start a software design project, or can the BitBox team start a fresh project from the outset?
Typically, we're creating code from scratch at the beginning of the development project however we have, in the past and on several occasions, picked up and expanded on pre-existing code.
We would always undertake a code review before committing and providing honest feedback, regardless of how critical it may be, to ensure your product is stable and reliable. We've also worked on multiple projects whereby our customer has in-house software expertise and they only require hardware support (or vice versa). It involves a slightly closer working relationship given how closely hardware and software integrate, but it's certainly achievable!
