Longview Solutions began in 2014 making parts for other people's products. Software came later, because our clients' products needed it and nobody else was going to build it. Twelve years on, that order of things is still how we work — the factory floor first, the code second.
The story
Most IT services firms were founded by people who ran programs. We were founded by people who made things — prototypes, tooling, small batches, and eventually production lines. The first years were spent learning what happens to a design when it meets a mold, a tolerance stack, and a customer's hand.
Software came second. Clients kept asking for the app around the device, then the cloud service behind the app, then the data layer behind the service. Building it elsewhere meant handing the integration to somebody who had never seen the hardware, which is exactly where the failures started. So we built it here.
Industrial systems came third, for the same reason. Once we were running production for clients, they asked us to make their plants visible. A digital twin is easier to build when you already know how the line behaves when it isn't behaving.
Today the company does all three, for 191 clients across nine industries. The through-line hasn't changed: we're accountable for what ships.
At a glance
Clients served since 2014, across nine industries.
Cost reduction across delivered programs, through manufacturability and tooling decisions.
Hours of client time saved — build, validation and rework loops taken off their critical path.
Why teams pick us
When a design can't be molded, we know in week two, because we have stood next to the press. That's a different kind of feedback than a review meeting, and it changes the design while changing it's still free.
Hardware and software in one backlog, one architecture, one accountable lead. Nobody gets to point at the other vendor when the integration breaks, because there's no other vendor.
Code, infrastructure definitions, documentation and a walkthrough — yours from day one. We would rather earn the next program than hold this one hostage.
If the constraint isn't something we fix, or the plan is wrong, we say so during scoping. That's before a purchase order, and before anyone has a reason to defend a decision.
How we're organized
We deliberately don't run large delivery organizations. A pod is four to eight engineers with a technical lead who is on your calls and accountable for the output.
Who we're a fit for
Our clients tend to be hardware companies that discovered they're also software companies, or software companies that discovered their product needs to exist in physical form. Both arrive with the same problem: the two halves are being built by people who have never met.
We're probably not the right call if you need a body shop at the lowest rate, or if the decision has already been made and you need someone to agree with it.
Ask us about a program that didn't go smoothly. We will walk you through what went wrong and what changed afterwards. That conversation tells you more than this page.
