Vakoms

What Vakoms does

Vakoms was a Ukrainian-founded (2010, Lviv) IT services firm specializing in AIoT — the integration of artificial intelligence with connected IoT devices — and embedded firmware development. Its service portfolio spanned the full delivery lifecycle: IoT architecture and consulting, R&D, firmware, cloud software, mobile and web applications, UI/UX, DevOps, MVP development, and post-production support, with an explicit pivot toward 'Cognitive IoT Systems' that combine AI with connected devices for real-time analytics, anomaly detection, predictive maintenance, and on-device decision-making.

The company's technology stack emphasized edge and gateway intelligence (running ML models locally via smart gateways for low-latency response), AI embedded directly into firmware (reducing cloud dependence and improving resilience), and AI/ML analytics platforms that turn raw IoT data into operational insights. Delivery was anchored by strategic partnerships with AWS, Microchip, and Avnet, and certified under ISO 27001, ISO 9001, and ISO 13485 (medical devices). The firm reported over 120 IoT projects delivered across verticals including Smart Home, Energy, Automotive, Healthcare, Agriculture, Drones/UAV, Digital Manufacturing, and Consumer IoT.

Commercially, Vakoms operated a B2B project-based and dedicated-team services model with quote-based engagements and no publicly disclosed pricing. Distribution was direct enterprise sales supported by content marketing, case studies, and free technical consultations. Following a November 2023 minority investment from InSoft.Partners (a Kyiv-based software development holding with a $60M portfolio), Vakoms merged with Indeema Software in September 2025; the combined entity now operates under the Indeema Software name with offices in Ukraine, Poland, the US, and Canada, led by CEO Volodymyr Shevchyk.
