Questions we are asked before a project.
Short answers. If yours is not here, write to us or book a call.
Working with BSQ
What does BSQ do?
We build the software layer under physical operations: operational platforms, integrations and telemetry systems for companies that depend on machines, vehicles, sites and real-time data. Where it helps, AI features are part of that layer.
Who is it for?
Companies in logistics and telematics, industry and agriculture, and telecom and IoT, usually with an operation that already runs and tools that no longer keep up with it.
How does a project start?
With a two-week discovery on site and in the data. At the end you receive findings, risks and options.
How long does a project take?
Discovery takes two weeks and design one to two. The build runs for 6 to 20 weeks in two-week cycles, each ending with working software. Cutover, with a parallel run, takes one to four weeks.
How do you charge?
There are three models: a project with fixed scope and a fixed team, an embedded team for ongoing work, and platform & operations as a subscription with an SLA. The price depends on scope; scope changes are priced and agreed up front, not afterwards.
Who will work on our project?
A small senior team. The people in the proposal are the people on the project, and the project lead is in the first meeting and in every review.
Who owns the code?
You do: your repositories and your infrastructure. A documented handover is available on 30 days’ notice at any stage.
Which technologies do you use?
Laravel and Livewire with Tailwind and Alpine for product and platform work; Go and Python for collection, protocol adapters and data processing.
AI
Do you take on AI projects?
Yes, gladly. Any project in which AI is used or planned in an operation is of particular interest to us.
Do you train your own models?
No. We build the software around existing models: the data path, the integration, the approval steps and the cost control.
Is our data safe when a model is involved?
The model receives only the text it needs for the task. Records, names and customer lists stay in your system, and anything that changes money, contracts or schedules waits for a person.
Practical
Which languages do you work in?
English, Hungarian and Slovak.
Where are you based?
BSQ s. r. o. is registered in Slovakia. We work remote-first across Central Europe.
How quickly do you answer?
Enquiries are answered within one working day. You can also book a call directly on the contact page.
Can you run the system for us?
Yes. The platform can be operated by us with an SLA: hosted by us, in your cloud or on-premise.
