Case studies
Learn how Firefinch has delivered custom software for medtech startups, biotech instrumentation companies and life sciences organisations across the UK.
Stories that started with a challenge…
Every project we take on is different and uniquely shaped by the science, regulatory environment, and specific challenge our client is solving. The case studies below offer a transparent look at how we work: from MVP development for early-stage medical devices, to custom instrument control software for biotech instrumentation, AI-powered data platforms for life sciences R&D, or bespoke web applications for agritech.
Behind each of these custom software development case studies is a team effort working hand in hand with our partners, focusing on the same thing: a better outcome for the end user.
Case Study: SRUC
We worked together with SRUC to build HerdPlan, an intuitive, scalable web app for livestock health management, unifying architecture and workflow to help farmers and vets collaborate and improve decision-making.
Case Study: IBioIC / C-Sum
Firefinch built C-SUM, a carbon accounting tool for IBioIC, rebuilt on a modern tech stack with intuitive process modelling, seamless data integration, and comparison features to help biotech firms quantify and reduce emissions.
Case Study: HART Biologicals
Firefinch partnered with Hart Biologicals to build IMPACT, their first medical device, delivering an IEC 62304-compliant, user-focused platform with HL7 connectivity, agile delivery, and full regulatory readiness for clinical trials.
Case Study: MORF
With Firefinch support, this project went from academic bioinformatics tool to market-ready product, optimising its architecture, building an 18-month roadmap, and enabling secure, containerised deployment for commercial growth.
Case Study: Northern Light Microscopy
Firefinch supported Northern Light Microscopy turn micro-optic innovation into an intuitive MVP, building a desktop app, hardware abstraction layer, and simulated instrument for rigorous, accessible microscopy.
Case Study: DYNEVAL
Learn how Firefinch worked with Dyneval to build an MVP for Dynescan, the first semen analyser measuring livestock fertilisation capacity, developing custom image processing software and guiding product strategy to secure funding and reach market fast.
HerdPlan / SRUC Case Study
Firefinch worked with the HerdPlan/SRUC team to deliver a tailored web app.
