PolderLabs / Engineering from the Netherlands
The physical world. Digitally connected.
We build the hardware and software that bring equipment, data and people together. So businesses can do more than measure: they can act on what they learn.

One coherent system, across engineering disciplines.
01 / Our perspective
Technology should solve an operational problem.
A sensor is not yet insight. A dashboard is not yet a solution.
Many businesses have equipment that tells them nothing, information scattered across systems and processes that rely on manual checks. We want to close that gap: between what happens in the field and what people can understand and use.
Not replacing everything. Making it work together.
02 / What we build
Hardware and software. Not in isolation.
We work across the whole system, or on the part that helps yours move forward.

Embedded systems
A connection to the physical world.
Electronics, firmware and sensors that make equipment signals usable. Designed around power, environment and how the machine behaves.
Software & integration
Information where it is needed.
Backends, interfaces and integrations that bring separate data sources together. Built around the people who use them every day.
Prototypes & validation
Find out whether it works first.
Test the hardest assumption before an idea becomes a major development programme. With a tangible prototype and an informed next step.
When are we a good fit?
- Your equipment is offline or provides too little useful information.
- Existing products do not quite fit your machine or process.
- You have a product idea and want to test its technical feasibility first.
03 / How we work
Start with the question. Prove it in practice.
You do not need a finished specification. Just a problem worth solving.
- /01
Understand
What is missing today? We look at users, existing systems and the decision that better information should enable.
RESULTA clearly scoped problem - /02
Investigate & build
We test the technical risks and build a first working version. We make choices and limitations explicit.
RESULTA testable prototype - /03
Test in practice
We put the solution against real use. What works, what does not and which information actually matters?
RESULTEvidence from a field test - /04
Develop with purpose
The results inform the next step together: adapt, expand, integrate or deliberately stop.
RESULTAn informed way forward
04 / Our direction
Solving client challenges. Developing our own solutions.
We combine development for businesses with our own hardware and software products. Our ambition is to make fragmented technology more accessible and better connected.
In development / PolderNode + Fleet Manager
A clearer view of equipment. Even when it is still offline.
With PolderNode and Fleet Manager, we are developing one system for location, movement, utilisation and machine signals. Especially for mixed fleets, older equipment and applications that do not fit a standard telematics product.

Open development
Building in public, too.
Alongside client work and connected equipment, we work on open-source software. Explore the projects, read the documentation and see how they work.

What would you like to understand, connect or improve?
Tell us what you operate, where you get stuck and what needs to change. We can explore whether and how we can help.
We would rather start with the problem than the product.
