Develop, design, secure, market, and sell something amazing.
Build a digital business, not just a digital product.
It’s not that hard to build digital products today. But building a digital business — and one that stands out — is a different animal. It’s simply not good enough to be “good” anymore.
We’ll help build a successful digital business that features a must-have product, differentiated positioning, compelling messaging, and engaging go-to-market strategy.

Making an impact on the software industry for 30+ years
Applied Visions Inc. (AVI) has been building software for more than 30 years. Over the past three decades, we’ve had a front row seat to software’s seismic impact on the way we live and do business.
We’ve also watched software products in most industries become more saturated and commoditized every year. That’s why we pride ourselves on being renegades in the software industry by building businesses, not just products.
We help our clients dramatically improve their chances of developing, launching, and marketing a winning software product by doing things differently.
We’ve helped hundreds of companies — from Fortune 100 giants to pre-seed startups — find their inner renegades and ask themselves, “how do we become a purple diamond in a market full of black squares?”

AVI worked with Code Dx to produce a software platform to automate the AppSec process—accurately, quickly, and at scale. It had to interface with existing scanners to ingest test results and get rid of duplicate findings. AVI was responsible for application design & development, market positioning, go-to-market strategy, staffing support, and venture funding/acquisition support.
Planet Fitness didn’t have much of a digital presence beyond their website, and they wanted to modernize their business. Existing solutions weren’t cutting it, so they partnered with Applied Visions to develop a fully custom mobile app experience that drives engagement and adds top-line revenue.
Applied Visions partnered with Touchcode to completely overhaul their main product, a patented, unique smart-ink technology for retail packaging. This collaboration resulted in the architecture and applications that have helped countless retailers connect with their customers digitally.
Ready to differentiate your business?
The cold hard truth is that any company can build a digital product today. For a while, that was enough to differentiate a business — but those days are long gone.
Almost all companies have some way of doing business digitally, but renegade companies know they need to think more deeply about how to truly differentiate themselves in a remarkably competitive and unforgiving business environment.
What we do
UX/UI Design
Design is a lot more than colors and fonts.
As user expectations continue to rise, it’s crucial for your business to create digital experiences that are user-friendly, visually appealing, and optimized for all devices. Our Design team takes a user-focused approach to create experiences that stand out and connect with your target market to help you achieve your business goals.
Business Strategy
Define, manage, and meet your goals.
A well-designed digital product is only as successful as the strategy driving it. That’s why our Business Strategists and Product Managers focus on delivering engaging, impactful customer experiences—because those experiences drive engagement, conversion, and growth.

Software Development
Build products that make an impact on your market.
Our Development team builds differentiated products that power digital businesses. It’s not good enough anymore to just build a software product and say you’re a tech company. We’ll help you build products that serve a niche, make an impact, and build revenue.
Security

Our Security and Compliance team tackles some of the most complex security challenges for global enterprises in healthcare, government, business services, financial institutions, and more.

When our team needed a better way to manage and share coral restoration resources, we trusted AVI. They delivered a clean, accessible UX/UI platform tailored to our mission—while also building a pipeline to generate and analyze photomosaics of underwater coral. AVI implemented a machine learning model using traditional convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to identify coral types—an approach they had been developing even before OpenAI emerged. Their use of SegmentAnything and enhancements to existing AI models support coral outplanting and research efforts. AVI’s deep technical expertise, responsiveness, and innovation helped us streamline support and elevate our conservation impact in meaningful, scalable ways.

“AVI combines excellent technology with an excellent business model, going above and beyond traditional design and development.”
Wayne Nemeth
Strategic Advisor, TouchCode
“At the end of the day, I don’t see AVI as developers or programmers.
They are developing business solutions, and to do that, they’ve understood our objectives and helped us think through the business problem.”
VP of Technology, BloomNet
AVI is much more than a development firm. Their approach to supporting our overall business goals have instrumental in our growth. Our development lead has been the same person for the past 5 years, which helps us stay on track with our product roadmap and overall software goals. Ongoing support has also been excellent.
CTO, MealTrack
