What Bright Inventions does

Bright Inventions is a privately held digital product agency founded in 2012 and headquartered in Gdańsk, Poland, delivering custom software development services across mobile, web, IoT, AI, POS, healthcare, and application modernization. The company states it has 82 experts and has delivered 65 projects to 48 clients over 14 years, with a delivery stack spanning native iOS (Swift/SwiftUI), native Android (Kotlin/Java), cross-platform (React Native, Flutter), full-stack web (TypeScript/React/Node.js/NestJS), Spring Boot/Kotlin backends, PostgreSQL/MySQL, and AWS cloud infrastructure. Notable proprietary technical assets include a multi-device POS integration framework unifying Epson, Star, Citaq, and Sunmi printers with fault-tolerant rerouting, offline-first mobile and Kitchen Display System architectures, a Stripe Tap to Pay integration with Apple entitlement handling, and horizontal scaling patterns for real-time audio/chat apps.

The business operates a project-based, quote-driven professional services model with multi-year engagements; pricing is not publicly disclosed and all work begins with a free consultation via the website. Go-to-market is direct and sales-led, combining inbound from brightinventions.pl and email ([email protected]) with content- and community-led demand generation via a technical blog, the BrightDevTalks podcast, GitHub, conference speaking, and partner programs (AWS Partner Network, Zebra Registered ISV Partner). Customer mix centers on EU-based startups and mid-market companies plus select enterprise relationships, with flagship anchor clients including Practi/Just Eat Takeaway (10-year global POS partnership across Israel and the UK), Relevo (sustainable food take-away app serving 200,000+ users), Circles (mental health platform that raised a $16.5M Series A), and a global retail client for Tap to Pay in 20+ countries.

In January 2024 the company announced recognition in the Forbes Diamonds ranking and, separately, that it is joining the larger digital product agency Framna under the banner 'We are becoming Framna', with an updated wordmark on the homepage signaling a rebrand/consolidation. The company is also recognized via a Clutch 4.9/5 rating and holds AWS Partner Network and Zebra Registered ISV Partner credentials; it claims GDPR-aligned delivery and HIPAA-aware healthcare work as part of its compliance posture. No revenue, funding, or cap table data is publicly disclosed.

Core offering

Bright Inventions is a digital product agency that builds custom mobile, web, AI, IoT, and POS software for startups, mid-market, and enterprise clients. Engagements are project-based, ranging from MVP development to multi-year strategic partnerships, and are delivered by cross-functional teams spanning strategy, UX/UI, native iOS/Android, full-stack web, cloud, and QA. The firm combines custom development with legacy application modernization and operates as a long-term embedded engineering partner rather than a staff-augmentation vendor.

Product overview

Bright Inventions is a digital product agency delivering custom software across a portfolio of service lines rather than a single unified product. Its core service offerings are Mobile App Development, AI Solutions, Web Development, IoT Solutions, Application Modernization, POS Software Development, Healthcare Software Development, and MVP Development. These services underpin client-built products developed over multi-year engagements — including the Just Eat POS system, the Circles online group therapy platform, the Relevo reusable-tableware app, the Kitchen Display System, the Restaurant Delivery Drivers App, and a Tap to Pay-enabled retail POS. The company (established 2012 in Gdańsk, Poland) is positioned as a long-term tech partner with 82+ experts delivering full-stack projects across fintech, blockchain, HealthTech, retail, and logistics, and is in the process of joining the digital product agency Framna.
