Stackware Verified Company

Stackware is a UK software development company based in Derby, building custom software for businesses that need more than an off-the-shelf product. We work across desktop, mobile, embedded and cloud, and we are known in particular for industrial HMI development: the operator interfaces and control-panel software that run on factory-floor machines and embedded displays.

Our technical core is Qt, C++ and Python, backed by hands-on experience with QML, OpenCV and ROS for teams working on robotics, computer vision and real-time control. That depth lets us take on projects many web-first agencies avoid, from device interfaces and telemetry apps to data-driven dashboards and cross-platform applications that behave consistently on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android and embedded hardware.

We have delivered production software across demanding sectors. In automotive, we built a 3D car visualisation and infotainment system. In medical devices, we developed the interface and software for a respiratory monitoring system. In IoT and connected hardware, we created a companion telemetry app for an electric scooter. Every project follows the same principle: considered UI/UX design first, then robust engineering that holds up in the field.

What sets us apart is that one integrated team stays accountable from the first conversation through design, development, delivery and ongoing support. Clients deal with engineers who understand both the interface and the system behind it, not account managers passing work down a chain.

Our services span industrial HMI development, mobile and desktop application development, embedded and IoT software, web development, and software consulting covering requirements, architecture and interface design. We serve clients in Derby, across the East Midlands and internationally.

If you have an HMI, app or custom software project in mind, we would welcome a conversation about how to build it.
