‘Innovation’ is a very over-used word. Loop Future teams combine writing software and building hardware to drive true innovation, whether it’s a PoC or a market-ready launch.
Exploring whether problems can be solved, then solving them, at scale.
At Loop Future, we have teams dedicated to True Innovation: writing software and creating hardware that explores whether problems can be solved and how best to do so in a scalable, market-ready way.
We believe Loop Future can be a partner for real innovation, combining all the elements of support you need in one place, from early PoC through to fabrication, testing and a finished product ready to take to market.
From first principles through to a product you can put in front of customers.
We don’t just prototype in software. Our teams design and build combined software and hardware proof of concepts that genuinely test whether an idea works in the real world.
Access to fabrication facilities and test bench labs means ideas can be physically built, stress-tested and iterated on, not just simulated.
The end goal is always something scalable and shippable. We design for production from the start, so the jump from prototype to market-ready product is as short as possible.
Software & hardware · AI · Water networks
Designed and built a combined software and hardware product that uses AI to identify leaks in water networks and optimises network water pressure in real-time to ensure consistent supply and maximise consumption efficiency, with centralised visibility. Built in a modular fashion to maximise flexibility.
Software & hardware · Sustainability
Designed and built a combined software and hardware product that eliminates packaging to make supermarket shopping more sustainable. Followed this up with a test bed activity working with 57 SMEs and the Portuguese postal service to pilot and assess different new sustainable packaging solutions.
Software · Drone mapping · 3D · Events logistics
Designed and built an all-in-one events management platform for attendee bookings and ticketing logistics across large-scale festivals and smaller events. The solution involved drone mapping of spectator views with 3D representation, and pre-mapping of attendee flows for safety and accessibility.
All our teams can work CET hours to maximise overlap times, whether that's people in Portugal, India, UK, Switzerland, South Africa or of course elsewhere in Europe.
Embed specialist Engineers and/or teams directly into your own teams and organisation. Our people will join your team, working as one of your own, but on a time-boxed basis. We'll work in your tools, your repos, per your ways of working & to your direction and your prioritisation.
This is invoiced on a daily or hourly rate.
Hand over the responsibility for building an entire piece of work to us. We'll spin up the entire team needed to take your brief and make it real, with regular updates and demos for your team throughout the project. Once we're done, we can either maintain it for you or hand it over.
Invoiced according to fixed prices for milestones which must be pre-defined in detail.
Spin up a team to take ownership of a chunk of work, whether that's a project, a backlog or something less cleanly defined. We spin up the agreed roles with you for an agreed period and work to deliver from your prioritised backlog, but we typically take more ownership & provide higher level strategic guidance than on T&M engagements.
Invoiced either on a fixed monthly price or a daily rate per person.
Build permanent headcount rapidly. We source and onboard, acting as an extension of your Talent team, providing regular updates & reports and ensuring a seamless candidate experience. You can choose to ‘try before you buy’ with a Contract-to-Hire model where we hire and onboard people then transfer to you after an agreed period.
Invoiced as a percentage of the hired person's salary or total cost to company.
