Tripod is a software development and technical consultancy company, based in the Salford Innovation Forum. We specialise in mobile and web solutions, developing applications that utilise cutting edge technologies. Our team has a diverse range of skills, meaning we can help you no matter what your project or budget demands. We set up Tripod after noticing too many people with great ideas were unable to take that next step and get the technical part realised. We believe this is because of the inaccessibility of the computing market in general. Our approach guides you and your idea throughout the entire planning, development, and deployment process, constantly evaluating its direction, so if your requirements change we can make sure your project adapts too.
Do you want an app made for Windows Phone, iOS, Android, BlackBerry or any combination of the above? Either way, we can help. We have developed applications for industry, academia, and just for the fun of it. Your app could be something simple, designed to increase your company's productivity, or a complex app using the latest technologies.
Whether your idea provides a service for your customers, your employees, or a mass market, we can handle it. Our web applications are responsive, usable, and look great. We use innovative design, and the latest web technologies to build applications including ecommerce solutions, stock management and asset tracking. Our specialism is making these complex systems simple and easy to understand for anyone to use.

After finishing his masters degree, Matt worked as a knowledge transfer associate, bridging gap between academia and industry. He helped deliver a project to take a research concept to an industry ready prototype. Involving both custom hardware development and various software systems many challenges were met and overcome over the course of the project. When he's not working, you'll most likely find him climbing on a snow covered mountain in some remote part of Scotland.
Based in the north-west of England, our offices are situated in the Salford Innovation Forum in Manchester. We work with businesses all over the country. When face-to-face meetings just aren't practical as frequently as we would like, we're happy to have a quick Skype call or Google+ Hangout to make it feel like we're just around the corner.
We also are strongly connected with in InfoLab21 at Lancaster University. This gives us access to some of the most innovative leading academics and industry experts. This ensures that we're always up to date on bleeding-edge technologies that we can incorporate into your project.

Tripod worked in collaboration with LSTM to develop MeasureSMS, a tool that enables community health workers in sub-Saharan Africa to rapidly report health information relating to individuals in their communities. MeasureSMS is being deployed in areas where population health information is difficult to collate, making disease burden hard to estimate
As part of a consortium, we have won a InnovateUK grant for nearly £500,000 to develop a system which will help the national grid deal with power demand in peak power periods. We do this by creating a virtual energy store by coordinating stores of batteries (such as UPSs and solar PV arrays) to discharge their batteries, and recharge when demand is lower or renewable energy is available.
