Success Story
Pascal Tags
Pascal Tags, a smart asset tagging and tracking platform used by GE Appliances and Brown Foreman, was scaling fast, as were the expectations. With on-premise devices sending constant streams of data, clients needing dynamic control of their accounts, and complex reporting requirements at varying intervals, the system needed to move beyond its limits. Secure data flow, real-time sync, developer flexibility, and cost-efficiency were non-negotiables. That’s where Pivotal stepped in — building a cloud-native architecture that connected hardware to insight, securely and seamlessly, in production and staging environments. What used to be a bottleneck became a business advantage.
Tag, you're it.
One System
Built For Scale
Fully Automated
“We had tough requirements — real-time data from physical devices, scalable architecture, secure authentication, and dynamic reporting across accounts. Pivotal delivered all of it, and more. They weren’t just a dev partner; they were a systems thinker. What they built doesn’t just work — it gives us a foundation for what’s next.”
— Brandon Young, Founder, Pascal Tags
The Opportunity
Pascal Tags was facing a high-stakes problem that too many hardware-connected platforms run into: how to turn streams of complex, decentralised data into something stable, secure, and scalable — without turning the development process into a nightmare. Data from on-premise devices needed to land safely in the cloud, account-level permissions had to stay tight, and applications had to perform across environments without bloating cost or complexity. Add in a need for configurable frontends and flexible report generation at client-specific intervals, and it was clear — off-the-shelf wouldn’t cut it.
The Solution
Pivotal architected a lean, high-performing AWS infrastructure from the ground up, balancing cost-efficiency with security and scalability. Two clean environments — staging and production — gave the Pascal Tags team flexibility without risk. Using AWS IoT services and serverless Lambda functions, we built a reliable bridge from on-premise devices into AWS RDS, ensuring data landed securely and was immediately usable. On top of that, we developed secure, Cognito-authenticated backend APIs and designed lightweight frontend portals that pulled from them with speed and clarity. Account-level controls and configurations were baked into the application architecture, giving Pascal Tags clients autonomy without friction. Custom reporting intervals and delivery mechanisms were layered in — turning what used to be manual grunt work into automated, account-specific value.
The Results
Pascal Tags now runs smarter, faster, and with greater confidence. Real-time data flows securely from devices into the cloud. Clients can manage their own accounts, control their frontend apps, and schedule reports on their terms — all from a single, clean system. Developers move faster, ops are simpler, and new features deploy safely thanks to a fully staged environment. The platform is no longer just functional — it’s foundational. And with Pivotal’s infrastructure in place, Pascal Tags is equipped to grow without breaking stride.
