Smart city software development for developers and giga-projects

Technology squads for cities built on a deadline

Squads for developers and giga-projects build digital twins, IoT platforms, resident apps and city security operations. Our Dubai mobility platform handles 40M events a day.

In short

Digital twins, IoT platforms, resident and visitor apps, and city-scale security for developers and giga-projects.

Remote Pro Ai provides smart city software development for real-estate developers and giga-projects: digital twins, IoT platforms, resident and visitor apps, and city security operations. Squads bring local-content reporting, IoT security and sovereign hosting from day one. The Case M-01 mobility platform we built for a Dubai operator handles 40M events a day, and squads start within 4 working days.

What city-scale delivery demands

Primary risk: delivery at city scale on fixed opening dates. Dozens of vendors, thousands of devices and one immovable launch.

  • Vendor integration

    Building, mobility, energy and security systems from many suppliers (BIM, BMS, CAFM and IoT) must work as one.

  • IoT at scale

    Thousands of sensors and devices need secure onboarding, updates and monitoring.

  • BIM to operations

    Design data must become useful for facility management, not sit in files.

  • Local content and Saudization

    Procurement scores and workforce targets shape every award and the ongoing evaluation.

  • Sovereign hosting

    City data often must stay in-country under national rules, and data ownership between developer, operator and suppliers is often unsettled.

  • Experiences that sell

    Visitors and residents expect bilingual apps and immersive previews.

Rules that shape giga-project technology

What never-negotiable means for giga-projects

  1. Local-content documents supplied through our Saudi company, for your own reporting.

  2. No IoT device ships with default credentials or without a secure update path.

  3. City and resident data hosted in-country under national classification rules.

  4. Information exchange follows agreed BIM standards from design to operations.

  5. Every vendor integration documented, tested and monitored.

RuleWhat it requiresHow we meet it
LCGPA local contentLocal-content scoring in public and government-linked procurementLocal-content documents through our Saudi company; BOT centres
Saudization (Nitaqat)Saudi workforce ratios for in-Kingdom rolesOn-site roles employed through our Saudi company; remote seats stay outside your Nitaqat calculation

Roles developers and giga-projects hire most

City-scale systems we already run

  • Representative pattern (anonymised)

    Case M-01

    A transport operator, Dubai. Real-time ingestion from fleet and station sensors, streaming analytics, operations dashboards and an open-data API in a UAE cloud region. 7 engineers, 10 months. Outcomes: 40M events handled daily, live dashboards across 12 lines and incident response 30% faster.

  • Representative pattern (anonymised)

    Case E-01

    An energy company, Eastern Province. Passive OT monitoring with IEC 62443 zoning across plant networks. 6 specialists, 8 months.

    • Results: 100% plant network visibility, zero production interruptions.

  • Representative pattern (anonymised)

    Case P-02

    A government entity, Riyadh. Sovereign landing zone and 24/7 SOC aligned to NCA ECC-2:2024.

    • Results: SOC live in 6 weeks, MTTD under 15 minutes.

Developers and authorities we support

Giga-project and developer clients usually require confidentiality. We describe them by role and location, such as “a transport operator, Dubai”, unless written consent allows logo use. References are available to procurement teams under NDA.

Protections for city-scale platforms

  • Sovereign hosting

    City, resident and sensor data in approved in-country regions, a UAE region or the project’s own environment.

  • Device security

    Unique device identities, signed updates, certificate rotation and a segmented network for every connected device, with open interfaces so no single vendor locks the project in.

  • IT, OT and IoT monitoring

    One SOC view across building, utility and digital estates.

  • On-site presence

    Seats in Riyadh and Al-Khobar for site integration and testing.

  • Local-content documents

    Supplied through our Saudi company for your own local-content reporting.

ISO/IEC 27001 in progress (certification target Q2 2027) · SOC 2 Type II planned for 2027. Security policies sit in the Trust Center.

Reading for giga-project technology leaders

Real estate & giga-projects: buyer questions

Book a scoping call

20 minutes with an Account Director. No sales script.

Yes. The Digital Twin Squad combines BIM models, IoT sensor streams and operations data on a cloud or on-premises platform, then visualises assets in real time, often in Unreal Engine. Teams use the twin for monitoring, maintenance planning and sales previews, with data hosted where your rules require.

As inputs to your own plan: our Saudi company provides LCGPA local-content documents and employs the on-site seats, and remote seats stay outside your Nitaqat calculation. For multi-year programmes, a Build-Operate-Transfer centre runs under a localisation plan you set and transfers to you; the effect on your band and score is verified with HRSD and LCGPA.

Engineers give every device a unique identity, remove default credentials, sign and verify firmware updates, and monitor devices from a central platform. Designs follow ETSI EN 303 645 and TDRA IoT guidance, and IoT telemetry feeds the same SOC that watches your IT and OT estates.

Yes. Integration and backend engineers build a common data and API layer, agree interface contracts with each vendor and test integrations continuously. Case M-01, a Dubai transport platform, ingests 40M events a day from fleet and station sensors into one real-time view.

Yes. A Super-App Squad builds one bilingual app for access control, services, mobility, bookings and payments, with national-ID login where required. Designers make the app Arabic-first and accessible, and backend engineers connect it to building and city systems through governed APIs.

Yes. On-site and hybrid seats are available in Riyadh and Al-Khobar for site integration, commissioning support and testing, starting within 4 working days. Most design and engineering continues remotely, which keeps costs down while site teams get people where they are needed.
