About the company & the challenge
Prime Vision is a global leader in computer vision integration and robotics for logistics and e-commerce. The company designs and integrates solutions using the latest recognition, identification, and robotics techniques to optimize the automation of sorting processes.
Prime Vision was facing a shortage of talent and technical expertise in two areas:
- A project aiming to collect real-time position data from robots that move inside a warehouse. The company was looking for a team to develop the software solution.
- A project based on building and maintaining one of Prime Vision’s products – a data platform with multiple usages in warehouses, postal services etc. At that time, the company already had an internally assigned team and was looking to expand it with developers and a DevOps Engineer for the implementation of new application modules.
The Solution
The partnership between Prime Vision and ISD started with the development of a software solution that collected, stored, and processed real-time data from robots moving inside a warehouse. Each robot had its own tag that was scanned by a beacon antenna, and the information about its real-time position was sent to a server and required manipulations.
A team of 6 ISD experts developed the solution, consisting of 3 developers, 1 QA, 1 DevOps, 1 B2B coordinator. Additionally, 1 product manager from Prime Vision was part of the team. The tech stack consisted of the .NET 5 platform, C# for the back-end services, Docker and Kubernetes for containerization and cloud deployment using AWS, Azure, and/or on-premises solutions. Additionally, Agile was the main methodology for project development and way of working.
After a successful first collaboration with ISD, Prime Vision decided to extend one of their existing teams with 2 developers, 1 QA and 1 technical coordinator from our side. The team worked on building and maintaining a data platform, that included images, documents, scans, and user data. The product is widely adopted by many Prime Vision’s clients and supports postal and warehouse services in automating their input and output data.
The same tech stack was used for the development of this second project.
“We were looking for a partner who could help us grow our agile product development teams with highly skilled development/DevOps engineers. Our challenge was to maintain our philosophy of “power to the expert” and self-steering teams with remote team members. I was impressed by how fast the team at ISD, together with their HR department, was able to get the right people/team, picked up the technology and our way of working. Thus, we were able to move right forward to embed, and I might say quite successfully, the ISD members within an existing product development team.”

The Results
For the solution including the collection, storage, and processing of data from warehouse robots:
- The development of a working generic software for managing real-time asset data that is used in various Prime Vision’s product as a data pipeline platform.
- The processed data helps optimize robot algorithms and improves the business processes of Prime Vision.
New application modules were implemented as a solution for the second project, aiming to build and maintain a data platform for Prime Vision’s clients.
“The project was a good place to learn and use the latest technologies and tools. We had a smooth collaboration, and we enjoyed Prime Vision’s project structure, and their whole company vision. The project involved an interesting combination of software and hardware, good management, and documentation. Moreover, we felt like Prime Vision considered us part of their team.”
