What we do
The expertise a technology problem actually needs.
Five areas of expertise, delivered by one partner. Most of the problems we are brought in to solve draw on more than one of them, so we plan and deliver them together.
Software & Systems
When off-the-shelf software no longer fits, we design and build the system the organisation needs: web platforms, mobile applications and the internal tools that hold operations together.
We build for the people, approvals, records and exceptions that make your work specific, and we integrate with the systems you already depend on.
A typical engagement A multi-portal platform replacing paper, spreadsheets and email with one governed workflow.
Capabilities
- Custom software development
- Web applications
- Mobile and offline-first field apps
- Business and enterprise systems
- Workflow automation
- API and systems integration
Infrastructure & ICT
Good software fails on weak foundations. We assess, plan and implement the infrastructure behind your systems, from hosting and cloud environments to networks, servers and access control.
Where you need it, we stay on to administer and support that environment so it remains secure and dependable.
A typical engagement Moving a business-critical system onto secure, monitored hosting with a clear support arrangement.
Capabilities
- IT infrastructure consulting
- Cloud and hosting environments
- Servers and networks
- Security and access control
- Systems administration
- Ongoing technical support
Data & Intelligence
Most organisations already hold the data they need. It sits in separate systems, spreadsheets and paper files. We bring it together, structure it, and put it in front of the people who make decisions.
That can mean management dashboards and reporting, financial exports that feed your accounting system, or applied data science on a specific operational question.
A typical engagement A finance and programme dashboard drawn from live operational data rather than monthly spreadsheets.
Capabilities
- Data analytics
- Dashboards and reporting
- Data engineering and integration
- Business intelligence
- Applied data science
Integrated Technology
Some problems start with something physical: a vehicle, a machine, a field, a piece of equipment that needs inspecting. We connect the devices and people in the field to the platforms and data behind them.
That runs from tracking hardware and remote commands to offline field capture, connectivity, backend systems, alerts and reporting.
A typical engagement GPS trackers feeding a platform that shows live position, trip history and lets operators act remotely.
Capabilities
- Hardware and software integration
- IoT and sensor data
- Asset and vehicle tracking
- Monitoring and alerts
- Field and offline systems
- Operational technology
Technology Consulting
Before any build, we help you understand the problem properly. We look at processes, existing systems, constraints and risks, then recommend a practical route and a realistic plan.
Sometimes the right answer is a small change rather than a new system. We will tell you that too.
A typical engagement A technology assessment and phased roadmap a board or executive committee can approve.
Capabilities
- Technology strategy
- Digital transformation planning
- Systems architecture and solution design
- Technology assessments
- Business process analysis
- Implementation planning
How we engage
Advice, delivery, or both, over time.
-
Advisory
An assessment, architecture or roadmap before money is committed. Useful when the problem is clear but the route to solving it isn’t.
-
Project
A defined piece of work with agreed scope, phases and acceptance: a new platform, an integration, an infrastructure change.
-
Ongoing partnership
Support, improvement and extension over time. We stay responsible for the technology we deliver and help it grow with the organisation.
Not sure which you need? That is a normal place to start. Talk to Lumko
Bring us the problem, not the specification.
Let’s talk about what you’re trying to achieve. We’ll help you work out what the problem really involves and who needs to be in the room to solve it.
