Advancing Scientific Innovation

 

I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Rufilla and would have no hesitation in recommending them.

We have used Rufilla since 2012, when we embarked on a major project utilising technologies we had little experience of. During this time, Rufilla have worked collaboratively with us – helping with design concepts, providing advice while we learnt these technologies and providing essential support when we needed it quickly.

Joe and his team have always been on hand and have reliably responded rapidly and flexibly where necessary despite our development priorities changing from time to time, communicating effectively throughout. Together, we have built a comprehensive build process and system architecture which underpins our products despite our initial lack of expertise in the technologies we chose to use for the developments.

 

Robin Mugridge

Systems Software Group Leader

A perfect partner for our project.

We approached Rufilla to develop a remote alarm system for our acute care hospital beds to alert staff when patients are preparing to get out of the bed.

The project required system design, multi-source component specification, procurement, assembly and testing. Rufilla worked through the project with quiet professionalism and delivered on time and at manageable cost.

 

Chris Stacey
Managing Director

Great communications, skills and handover contributed to a very satisfactory result for us.

We called Rufilla for specialist help with a Yocto project. Not having dealt with them previously, we were not sure how this would work out.

Joe’s team were immediately on the case and provided solutions beyond our expectations.

Joe at Rufilla and his team have done a superb job defining and writing software for our company.

He met his timeframes, and was very communicative and cooperative throughout the process.

I highly recommend Rufilla for efforts requiring excellent insight and prompt successful accomplishment.
