With insightful questions covering a range of areas, Glow Labs leverages their experience and creativity to help clients consider other key criteria that weren’t part of the original IT strategy.
These requirements are documented, evaluated, and reviewed by the Glow Labs team before they quote the project and collect a down payment. They quote projects for a flat fee and stand behind their work with a one-year bug-free warranty. The company can design everything from consumer ready enterprise wireless platforms to cost-effective prototypes of wireless products for entrepreneurs.
Ferguson highlights that the potential for disruption by IoT devices depends on the end-user’s capability to fully leverage the features of that complex device, and this requires a fresh approach to product design. “Glow Labs’ extensive background in luxury home automation and our ability to develop both hardware and software gives us an advantage in the exploding market of connected devices, where hardware and software intersect,” says Ferguson.

For instance, one of their clients who managed a large-scale retail chain faced the challenge of excessive labor in the cold storage part of their business. Accounting for just a small percent of the revenue, maintaining and checking the cold storage wasted almost 50 percent of their labor hours. Having engaged Glow Labs to address the challenge, the company architected an automation solution, which upon implementation brought significant efficiency improvements to the client.

For Ferguson, it is the passion for enhanced user experience and the flood of poorly designed IoT products that drove him to establish Glow Labs after 10 years in the home automation industry. The company is expanding its internal development team to deliver products that address the evolving needs of modern companies and their customers. Choosing to focus on a niche created by them in the field of wireless and connected devices, Glow Labs plans to continue leveraging the latest and greatest technology in a way that actually benefits end users.
