Gaming
Gaming customers in Poland value scalable game backends, player wallets, live-ops tooling and anti-fraud controls. The rules engine module is usually their first priority, and they judge success on daily active players and retention day 7.
Shared services
Shared services customers in Poland value fast release cycles, scalable multi-tenant architecture and extra senior engineering capacity. The mobile app module is usually their first priority, and they judge success on release frequency and customer churn.
Example: IoT platform & connected device apps for a e-commerce business in Kraków
Consider a e-commerce company in Kraków (shared-services and software hub). A typical IoT platform & connected device apps engagement would start with dashboards, then ota updates, and finish the first release with rules engine — usually within 12–20 weeks.
Payments would run through BLIK, data would be handled under EU GDPR, and success would be measured on checkout conversion, stock accuracy and repeat-purchase rate.
Example: IoT platform & connected device apps for a gaming business in Poznań
Consider a gaming company in Poznań (e-commerce and logistics). A typical IoT platform & connected device apps engagement would start with mobile app, then device provisioning, and finish the first release with data pipeline — usually within 12–20 weeks.
Payments would run through Cards, data would be handled under EU GDPR, and success would be measured on daily active players, retention day 7 and payment success rate.

EU GDPR: compliance checklist for a IoT platform & connected device apps
Before launch in Poland, we work through this checklist with your team and advisers:
- Map every personal-data field to a lawful purpose under EU GDPR.
- Decide where data is hosted and whether data about Poland customers must stay in-region.
- Implement consent records plus data-subject access and deletion workflows.
- Encrypt data in transit and at rest; restrict and log administrative access.
- Prepare a breach-notification procedure that meets the timelines that apply in Poland.
- Review contracts and data-processing agreements for every third-party service.
Hosting and data residency for a IoT platform & connected device apps in Poland
For clients in Poland we usually host on Azure Poland Central, Google Cloud Warsaw. The choice balances latency for local users, EU GDPR requirements on where personal data may be stored or transferred, and any sector rules your regulator sets. Backups and disaster-recovery copies follow the same residency decision.
Localising your IoT platform & connected device apps for Poland
Business in Poland is mainly conducted in Polish. We build interfaces, notifications and documents ready for those languages, format dates, numbers and PLN amounts the local way, and plan releases around the CET working day.
