What BJSS does

BJSS is a UK-headquartered delivery-focused IT consultancy founded in 1993 and based in Leeds, operating at a scale of 1,001–5,000 employees. The firm provides technology consulting and solution delivery across cloud, data, and enterprise IT, and has begun productising proprietary offerings — most notably a cloud-based Room Occupancy Tracking System that uses existing Wi-Fi and IoT data streams to measure space utilisation with stated 90% accuracy. The system is built on Amazon Web Services infrastructure, reflecting BJSS's status as an AWS Partner and its go-to-market alignment with hyperscaler ecosystems.

The company's underlying technology stack centres on cloud-native data ingestion and analytics over Wi-Fi and IoT telemetry, with predictive analytics and video analytics applied to occupancy detection. Its customer base, as evidenced by the input, includes higher education institutions (University of Bath) using the solution to optimise campus space without installing new sensor networks. BJSS has also formalised AI capability through a dedicated Head of AI function, alongside senior technical leadership (CTO, Chief Engineer) and a Head of Cloud and IoT Business Development responsible for commercialising the IoT product line.

The business model is predominantly services-based IT consulting, with an emerging product layer represented by the room occupancy solution. No public pricing is disclosed, and the firm operates privately with no institutional funding rounds reported. Operating geographies disclosed are the United Kingdom. BJSS is independently owned, with both co-founders — Andrew Vincent (director) and Mark Hunter (chairman) — still active after three decades.
