Coming Soon
The fifth product. Its first screens are further down this page.
Push to talk
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.
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.
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

Coming Soon
The fifth product in the set, and the one still being built. The first screens of it are on its own page. What they do not show, we are not describing yet.
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.

Tell us what the thing has to do and who has to use it. A few sentences is enough to start.
