IQ OVEL

About us

Swiss engineering team for AI, vertical SaaS and digitalisation

IQ OVEL is a specialised technology company based in Bassecourt (Jura, Switzerland). We combine applied AI, software engineering and process digitization into concrete, operable solutions — from industrial software to geospatial platforms.

How we work

We work where domain expertise meets software: radar and satellite data, geodata, industrial plant data and specialist public-sector processes. Instead of generic digitalisation, we solve the bottleneck that actually slows operations down.

Our team works from Bassecourt (Jura) and serves clients across Switzerland in German, French, Italian and English. We grow slowly and project-funded so that engineering quality is never traded for utilisation.

Every project starts with a documented feasibility assessment and ends with a clean handover: open formats, described interfaces and source code in your hands.

What guides us

Measurement before opinion

Every claim about performance, accuracy or cost is measured and recorded. What we cannot measure, we do not promise.

Small teams, full ownership

One small, stable team per project, from data model to operations. No handover to an anonymous operations team.

Customer sovereignty

Open formats, documented interfaces, no artificial lock-in. You must be able to leave at any time — that is why you stay.

Longevity

We build for long operation: conservative technology choices, high test coverage, few dependencies.

Our areas of expertise

You work directly with the people who build and operate your system — no intermediate layer.

Earth observation and geodata

Practice

SAR and satellite data processing, change detection, geospatial architecture, map portals and analysis chains.

Industrial systems

Practice

Connecting plants and sensors, condition monitoring, predictive maintenance and integration with existing systems.

Product and vertical SaaS

Practice

From domain idea to operable platform: discovery, data model, multilingual content, onboarding and further development.

Platform and security

Practice

Operations, hardening, access concepts, logging and deployments in Switzerland or fully on-premise.

Operating framework

  • Based in Bassecourt (Jura); advisory and delivery in DE, FR, IT and EN
  • Data processing under GDPR and the revised Swiss Data Protection Act
  • Data hosted in Switzerland or the EU; on-premise installations available
  • Open formats, documented interfaces and source code with the client

How we work together

What an engagement with IQ OVEL looks like in practice, from first enquiry to operations.

01

Who works with us

We work for companies and public bodies with specialist technical needs: industry and manufacturing, energy and infrastructure operators, construction and real estate, municipalities and cantons, and software vendors with a domain niche. What they share is a strong internal team without the capacity or product-building experience to ship on their own.

  • Space: ground segment, mission planning, data processing
  • Industry: maintenance, quality, energy and equipment data
  • Technology: product build-out, platform migration, scaling

Contracts, pricing and collaboration

We start with a paid fixed-price scoping phase, then iterate on time and materials or fixed price per stage. You can stop after any phase and keep all rights to what has been delivered.

Collaboration happens in your language — German, French, Italian or English — remotely or on site in Bassecourt (Jura), Switzerland. For defence and infrastructure work we use vetted staff and segregated environments.
