Pulsion Technology

What Pulsion Technology does

Pulsion Technology Ltd is an independent, privately held IT and software development firm headquartered in Glasgow, Scotland, founded in 1995 by John McGuire. The company delivers bespoke software — custom web applications, mobile apps for iOS/Android (including React Native and hybrid), cloud migrations, AI/ML integrations, IoT applications, and UX/UI design — to enterprise, public sector, startup, and third-sector clients. It is a registered AWS Partner and Microsoft Azure Partner and holds Cyber Essentials certification, with a named technology partner role within Scotland's public sector digital transformation strategy running through 2028.

Service delivery is structured around four engagement models: dedicated full-time or part-time developer teams (3-month minimum commitments), staff augmentation, fully managed services, and project-based custom development. Pricing runs from £15/hour for mid-level developers to £70+/hour for senior engineers, billed monthly or against fixed project pricing. The firm operates a discovery-led GTM motion through its website ('Book a Call Today' CTA), supplemented by content marketing (Pulsion Tech Talks, blog, white papers, case studies) and direct enterprise sales targeting Scottish and wider UK clients across financial services, legal, healthcare, retail, travel, logistics, manufacturing, aviation, energy, charities, and government.

Pulsion reports ongoing client engagements of multi-year duration (e.g., OneSearch's continuous monitoring/upgrades, Accourt's AWS-serverless fraud management serving 2,000+ users and 20,000 monthly transactions). The headcount sits in the 51–100 range. There is no public disclosure of revenue, funding, ownership changes, or M&A activity; the company operates as a founder-/management-controlled standalone entity with no disclosed subsidiaries, parent company, or external investment, and has not announced acquisitions, divestitures, or restructurings in the available data.
