PTTHex
PTTHex lets a team talk the way a radio works: hold one control, and everyone tuned to the same channel hears you straight away.
- Hold the control to take the talk floor
- See who is on the channel, and who speaks first
- Message one person, your team, or the whole branch
- Open the map without leaving the channel
- Get in With the address an administrator gives you, or as a guest.
- Tune a channel The dial at the top of the talk screen picks which channel you are on.
- Hold to talk The line under the control says whether the floor is free or somebody else has it.
- Move between areas People, chat, map and your account sit along the bottom of every screen.
-
See who is on the channel, and who speaks first. -

AI platform
SayHex
SayHex puts AI to work across an organisation, with someone still in charge of who can use what, and the work grouped the way the organisation is.
- Work grouped by department
- Access set by the organisation
- Reached from a web portal
Shared rooms
RoomHex
RoomHex gives a group one room to share: a class with a board everyone can draw on, or a cinema where one film plays for everybody at the same time.
- Start a classroom, or join one with a code or a link
- Draw together on a shared board
- People, chat, notes and a poll in the same room
- Start a cinema and pick something to watch
- Add people from your branch by name, extension or email
- Open a room Name it, choose your camera and microphone, then start.
- Share the way in A join code is made for you. Whoever uses it is in the room.
- Use the shared tools The board, the people list, the chat, the notes and the poll.
- Or run a cinema instead One room, one screen, in sync, with its own chat beside it.
-
Start a class, or join one somebody else opened. -
Or open a cinema instead, and watch one thing together.
Business management
ManageHex
Rooms, zones, tables and seats are drawn where they really stand, and every table carries its own state. The same floor plans an event and then runs it, with the stage and the seating in place before anyone arrives.
- Lay out a room, then work the night from it
- Each table shows the state it is in
- Menus opened from a QR code, orders from table to kitchen
- A role for every staff member
-
Change what the floor shows without leaving it. -
Each table carries its own state, with a key beside it.
Products
TelHex
Coming Soon
The fifth product in the set. We are not ready to describe this one yet, so this page says nothing about it.
How we work
Four habits that shape the work
None of these is a slogan. Each one is a decision we make again on every product, and the four together are why the work looks the way it does.
-
Start with the real task
We look at what the person in front of the screen is trying to finish, then build for that.
-
Make the hard part easier
A feature earns its place when it takes work off someone, not when it adds another step.
-
Test on the screens people own
Small phones, older phones, wide monitors. If it only works on a new laptop, it is not finished.
-
Change it when the evidence says so
We keep what holds up in use, and rework what does not, rather than defending the first idea.
Team
The people behind the products
A focused team working across product design, engineering, delivery and testing. The same people design these products, build them and keep them working.
- Design We work out what the screen has to do before anything is built.
- Build The people who designed it write it, so nothing is handed over half explained.
- Keep it working The same people stay with a product once it is in use, and fix what use finds.

- Who will use it The people in front of the screen, and where they are when they use it.
- Where it stands An idea, a drawing, or something already running that needs work.
