What Norik Systems does

Norik Systems d.o.o. is a privately held Slovenian embedded-software and hardware boutique founded in 2005 and headquartered in Slovenske Konjice. The company delivers professional services spanning Linux kernel and driver development, Board Support Packages (BSPs), full-stack web and hybrid mobile applications, and training/consulting for engineering teams. Its core technical stack centers on Embedded Linux, Yocto, Zephyr RTOS, Qt6, and Nordic Semiconductor nRF9160/nRF9151 System-in-Package silicon, with demonstrated competence in safety-critical and regulated domains.

The company serves an enterprise-heavy European customer base across automotive (Magna Auteca, Abatec, G.i.N.), air-traffic management (Frequentis, Mission Embedded), industrial manufacturing (Impol Group), security (EVVA), healthcare (Van Breda, RoPCA, BM Innovations), retail energy (Petrol d.d.), and SoM distribution (PHYTEC). Alongside services, Norik sells a proprietary product line: Octopus SoM and IO-Board (an nRF9160-based, solar-powered IoT module for off-grid sensing, now upstream in Zephyr), the Tempo cloud workforce-management SaaS with custom Linux/Yocto/Qt6 terminals, and the DECT NR+ USB Dongle built on Nordic's nRF9151 SiP. Revenue is generated through three streams: professional services engagements, hardware sales, and — most recently — recurring SaaS subscriptions via tempo.si. Distribution is direct via website, phone, and professional networks; marketing relies on a technical blog, LinkedIn/Facebook presence, and conference speaking. The company holds no disclosed external funding, operates with approximately five employees, and shows no M&A, leadership turnover, or restructuring activity in the available data.
