BitWise Group is a leading independent embedded system and software development services company supplying software design, system design and consulting services to companies operating in a range of sectors including communications, medical, multimedia, automotive, security, payment systems and energy/industrial control.

We enable our clients to extend their R&D teams through consulting, project outsourcing, co-development, and engineering placement services. Our client list includes major OEMs and SMEs, with many products in everyday use. Whether you are using a mobile phone, driving to work, paying with a bankcard, or visiting a theme park, you could be relying on BitWise expertise.

When you do business with us, we understand that we become a vital part of your product development team and you can be assured of service that warrants the trust you place in us. A member of our commercial management team will provide a consistent point of contact throughout the relationship, with a dedicated project lead assigned to each project. Testament to our level of service and delivery, a very high proportion of our business is repeat, with several major clients having placed business with us for well over 5 years.

Founded in 1987, BitWise started out as a small software development consultancy. By 1992, we were handling substantial subcontracted development projects that required a corresponding growth in headcount. The company's emphasis on high quality software developments has provided consistently high levels of customer satisfaction. As a result, BitWise enjoys regular repeat business with a number of key clients, allowing a tight corporate focus on the markets in which we specialise.

Privately owned by its executives and staff, BitWise has shown consistent growth throughout its history and is fully funded from revenues. Led by a strong management team, the company has responded to increased demand from new and repeat clients over the last few years by expanding its operations through the establishment of new specialist and European subsidiary companies. Our strong commitment to quality is part of the corporate culture and we have an excellent reputation for delivering software on time and within budget.

BitWise operates internationally with clients located throughout Europe and USA and enjoys a strategic relationship with several blue-chip companies. The Group is headquartered in Scotland and has several subsidiary companies operating across northern Europe that provide specialist services and local regional support. For example, our operations in Estonia support the Nordic and East European markets as well as providing specialist hardware development and nearshore services.

Our teams have all the project management and technical skills needed to develop leading edge solutions in fields as diverse as hand-held medical instruments, automotive control systems, smart phones, point-of-sale terminals, and communication networks.
