IoT Development built for EdTech companies
What is IoT Development?
We connect physical devices to software that operations teams actually rely on daily. For EdTech companies, this means navigating FERPA, COPPA while shipping fast.
Who needs IoT Development for EdTech?
- Low course completion and engagement rates
- Integrating video, assessments and certifications seamlessly
- Scaling infrastructure during enrollment spikes
- Devices generating data nobody acts on
- Unreliable connectivity in field conditions

Most IoT Development engagements take 10-20 weeks, depending on scope and how clear the requirements are upfront. We'll give you a firm timeline estimate after a short discovery call, not a generic range.
IoT Development projects with us typically range from $35,000 - $220,000, scaled to the complexity of your requirements. We provide a detailed, itemized estimate before any work begins so there are no surprises mid-project.
For iot development, we typically work with MQTT, AWS IoT Core, Python, C++, chosen based on your specific scalability and integration requirements. We're not tied to a single stack and will recommend the right tools for your situation rather than our default.
A typical iot development engagement includes device firmware and edge software, along with the other deliverables outlined in our proposal, such as documentation and a post-launch support window. The exact scope is tailored to your project during discovery.
Most clients come to us for iot development because of devices generating data nobody acts on, among other related challenges. We start every engagement by mapping your specific pain points before writing a single line of code.
We've delivered multiple edtech projects addressing challenges like low course completion and engagement rates. We helped an online learning platform lift course completion rates by 27% with redesigned progress tracking.
For edtech clients, we pay close attention to FERPA, COPPA, building these requirements into the architecture from day one rather than retrofitting them later. We'll confirm which specific regulations apply to your business during discovery.
The most common challenges we solve for edtech clients include low course completion and engagement rates and integrating video, assessments and certifications seamlessly. We tailor our discovery process to surface the specific version of these problems your business faces.
