Challenges.

Modern families face rising complexity in managing children’s daily routines. From school prep to chores, bedtime transitions, and behavioural development support. Parents often resort to fragmented tools like chore charts, sticky notes, alarms, or apps, leading to inconsistency, nagging, stress, and disengaged children.

Solutions.

Techne served as Nelli's fractional CTO, managing the complete atoms-to-code journey from Guangdong hardware sourcing to iOS and Android deployment.

Key Technical Deliverables

Hardware Sourcing: Guangdong manufacturing partner vetting and medical-grade hardware prototyping.
Firmware and IoT: Custom firmware for secure, low-latency device-to-cloud data transmission.
AI-Driven Insights: Intelligent algorithms transforming raw sensor data into actionable parent notifications.

Results.

Techne delivered Nelli from concept to an award-winning, market-ready IoT product. Today it stands as one of Australia's most technically ambitious parenting technology successes, built by one partner, end to end.
