LANARS is a software and embedded engineering company that designs, builds, and scales digital products — from mobile and web applications to IoT systems, AI-driven automation, and cloud infrastructure. The company serves as a technology partner for businesses that need to move fast without compromising on quality.
The team of approximately 60 engineers has been working together for over 10 years — not assembled per project, but built as a permanent, cohesive unit. This means clients get a stable, battle-tested group that plugs directly into their workflow, tools, and communication channels, functioning as a seamless extension of their development organization.
LANARS follows the same engineering standards expected from top in-house teams: CI/CD pipelines, code reviews, AI-augmented development, and a modern technology stack. Whether the engagement is a full product build, a dedicated team for a parallel workstream, or specialized expertise needed for months rather than years — clients get predictable quality without the ramp-up time typically associated with external partners.
What sets LANARS apart is accountability. The company guarantees delivery and takes full ownership of results — possible because these are their own engineers with established workflows and years of shared context, not a rotating cast managed at arm's length. Clients scale up when demand peaks and scale down when things settle, with no long-term lock-in.
LANARS serves businesses across industries looking for a reliable, flexible, and high-quality engineering partner that keeps projects moving forward.

The client submitted this review online.
BACKGROUND
Please describe your company and your position there.
Position -- CTO. A company providing solutions for industrial facilities management and daily operation and maintenance.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
For what projects/services did your company hire LANARS?
Their team reengineered our hardware devices and integrated them with a newly developed web management platform, provided full-cycle development of a physical device, and also created a handy mobile app.
SOLUTION
How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?
We met with LANARS representatives at a tech event, and had a couple of meetings. They impressed us with the level of involvement they provide, and an extensive portfolio of relevant cases that were successfully realized.
Describe the project in detail and walk through the stages of the project.
At first, we worked on an overall scope of what we were trying to achieve. We are offering a monitoring and tracking ecosystem for industrial factory floors and wanted to bring our solution to the home automation market as well. LANARS helped us with planning and setting priorities, proposed a concept for a new device based on our current solution (smaller, easier-to-use by a usual consumer) and implemented a web solution (front-end and back-end), a mobile application (Swift) and provided firmware development for a new device.
How many resources from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?
We had a team of about 10 people — software developers for the web and mobile part and hardware and firmware developers for the device itself, also QA, designers and management staff, which we are extremely pleased with.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?
We are planning to release in the first quarter of 2023, everything works even better than our old solution, and now we’re at the phase of EU certification.
How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?
We had a lot of communication at the very beginning, their staff was actually integrated with our team. Later, they proposed weekly meetings, at the end of each scope we were presented with results and provided feedback. They invited us to their management system, where we were able to track the whole progress. Their project manager and business analyst were super responsive whenever we needed them for an update.
What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?
Deep personal engagement with our project, the versatility of services, cost and quality ratio, and flexibility.
Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?
We didn’t notice any major disadvantages.

LANARS enabled an IoT to integrate and visualize multiple IoT inputs simultaneous with the use of AngularJS. An admin portal was built to manage the flow of data sources.
The deliverables were ready on time and the final product suits the client's needs. The team's eagerness to provide guidance and technology recommendations was most appreciated.
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this
client over the phone. Below is an edited
transcript.
BACKGROUND
Introduce your business and what you do there.
We are a big data and IoT [internet of things company]. I was the senior director of network operations for the company.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What challenge were you trying to address with LANARS?
We needed to build a dashboard integration for different video sources. It would allow us to visualize the data coming in from different customers, making it easier to consume by our frontend engineers. LANARS helped us build our platform and backend integration.
SOLUTION
What challenge were you trying to address with LANARS?
LANARS built an admin panel which allows us to customize dashboards, as well as the engine feeding data from various monitoring sources. We aggregate data from many IoT end points, with the platform serving as a way to visualize that data.
The backend integration uses a proprietary platform owned by my company, while the frontend was built using open-source graphical libraries like Highcharts. The integration between the frontend and the backend required Node.js, while the admin panel used AngularJS, which is how we managed to display the different graphs from our backend customer data.
How did you come to work with LANARS?
We bid the project to many different companies. LANARS came back with a good plan during our initial phone calls. They were thorough and provided suggestions regarding technology.
How much have you invested with LANARS?
The project had 2–3 phases, and cost between $60,000 and $70,000.
What is the status of this engagement?
We started working with LANARS in June 2016. The project ran for 2–3 months, as we continued to add features.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
Could you share any evidence that would demonstrate the productivity, quality of work, or the impact of the engagement?
I'm no longer working for the company, so I don't have access to the platform that LANARS built. It was well-used and shared to many customers who were involved with our platform. It was a successful project.
How did LANARS perform from a project management standpoint?
LANARS assigned a project manager, and we primarily worked through Google Docs files.
What did you find most impressive about LANARS?
LANARS' team is experienced and thorough, developing our project in its entirety.
Are there any areas LANARS could improve?
Not at all. LANARS is a solid group. They never pushed us in a wrong direction, and were open to suggestions.
