What Dev4 Online does

Dev4 Online is a UK-based bespoke software development and consultancy firm founded in 2000 and headquartered in Aberdeenshire (Ellon), operating with 1-10 employees. The firm designs, builds, delivers, and supports tailored software for enterprise clients concentrated in offshore drilling, marine and subsea services, industrial surface treatment, engineering inspection, and adjacent industrial verticals. Its core products are a portfolio of client-specific solutions rather than a single unified platform, including the Equi-Track V1/V2 asset and equipment management suite with IoT and GPS integration, TEMS Eagle and TEMS Tiger for offshore drilling environmental and waste management reporting, the NAMS marine equipment compliance system used by over 70 companies globally, RIS Inspect for engineering inspection workflows, Condi for surface fabric maintenance, and sector-specific tools for fishing (SWFPA) and towage brokering (Clarksons).

The underlying technology is a Microsoft-centric stack: Azure cloud, Blazor and .NET, Telerik UI components, Vue.js, React, SQL Server, and Progressive Web Application patterns that deliver offline-capable mobile experiences for offshore technicians. The firm monetises primarily through professional services on multi-year, fixed-price phased development engagements, complemented by ongoing support and managed-service packages; no standard pricing tiers are published and all work is quote-based. Distribution is consultative and direct, led by free design sessions and referrals from a long-tenured enterprise client base that includes TEMS International (since 2017), Argonaut Marine (since 2012), RIS Inspection Services (since 2022), Namaka Compliance (since 2023), Clarksons, Muehlhan, Altrad, and Oceaneering. A 12-year university and graduate placement programme underpins talent renewal, and the firm is privately held with no disclosed external funding.
