Our Story

Our name comes from the iconic New Zealand “number 8 wire mentality”, a symbol of Kiwi ingenuity, resourcefulness and the ability to solve complex problems with whatever tools are available.

Just as number 8 wire helped remote farmers repair machinery and keep systems running, Eight Development brings that same spirit to modern interface design. We innovate, adapt and build user experiences that solve real challenges for manufacturers and their customers.

In that same spirit of practical innovation, we create intuitive, reliable interfaces that help everyday people control the technology around them, simply and beautifully

Eight Development is a New Zealand company that designs, engineers, customizes and maintains user interfaces for large companies seeking a faultless interface with touchscreens, mobile devices, digital signage, or other emerging interface devices.

Eight can work with your Product Development Executive to engineer software that smoothly integrates the functionality of your devices with the user friendliness of your desired human interface.

Our world is the point of contact between humans and technology. We combine consumer electronics, wireless technology and software development to create user interfaces that enhance lives, support productivity, assist with compliance, reduce costs and increase business efficiency. While our work is primarily focused on touchscreen platforms, we also create voice recognition and facial recognition interfaces.

Eight can minimize the time and cost of getting an effective interface for the management, metering or monitoring of your goods and services.
We may also be able to provide access to our existing user database for sell-in opportunities.

If your resources are limited, Eight can introduce you to its existing Android touchscreen platform to wirelessly support multiple control apps. There are tens of thousands of these control units already installed through Bosch Security’s global reseller channels giving you potential to expand your customer base. If you’re interested in this proposition, talk to us about how it works.

Our interfaces connect through cloud-based, programmable non-proprietary wireless systems that support the highest level of security. They can be controlled and monitored via a smartphone or a control monitoring station. By going wireless, you’re spared the time, cost and configuration restrictions of a wired system.

We’d love to hear from you. Whether you’re exploring a new product idea or scaling your existing interface, our team is ready to help
