Who we are

Since 2022, Cork has been chosen as the center of Excellence for Fire Detection Connected Services. This is due to the success of innovative products built by the team in Cork. One such project is Xaap, a mobile and web-based application. Xaap provides building inspection reporting in a single, centralized platform for tracking, maintaining, and reporting building system compliance.
