Google Cloud Services Development

We develop web and mobile apps using a range of Google Cloud services and tools, from hosted containers, to Google Maps, machine learning models and image recognition.

Google Cloud Platform (GCP) is Google's suite of hosted infrastructure, data, mapping and machine-learning services. Scorchsoft has over 16 years' experience building rich, functionally complex apps and web apps, and GCP is one of the platforms we build them on.

If you're looking to get your business online or improve your presence, Google Cloud Services is a brilliant platform to harness. Google offers a comprehensive range of tools that we use to build both web and mobile apps. The Google Cloud Platform (GCP) stems from the original Google App Engine Framework and is now one of the most popular cloud platforms. As with everything from Google, their cloud services are trusted and reliable, providing an easy answer to your online needs.

Wide Suite of Web Services

With a wide range of services available from Google Cloud Services, we can help you find the tools you need to run your business online with ease. Whether you're looking for a simple setup or something more diverse, such as incorporating the Internet of Things or Google Compute Engine, we'll find the right solutions for you within Google Cloud Services.

Google Cloud services we build with

Vision, Maps and the Google AI and Machine Learning Platform, wired into your web or mobile app.

Google Image Recognition

Google Cloud Vision is an advanced API that can analyse image content through a range of extracted data. There are two tools available, both of which use machine learning; AutoML Vision and Vision API. With AutoML, we can help you create custom machine learning models to perform as you need them to. If you're happy with a pre-trained model, Vision API offers image recognition that's ready to go. It can assign and categorise images, detect different faces and objects, read text, and create metadata in your image catalogue.

Maps and Location Services

Using the Google Maps Platform, we can add Geo-Location services to your application. With incredibly accurate, real-time information, we can use these for several purposes. For example, by using Store Locator Plus, your application can automatically match your users' location with your own, showing them their nearest or most convenient branch to visit. We can integrate Google Maps into your site for this feature, encouraging users to stay within your application even when getting directions. We can also use Geo-Location tools to create a seamless checkout experience. Users can autocomplete forms based on their location, and their addresses are verified instantly to prevent incorrect deliveries.

AI and Machine Learning Services

Google's Image Recognition is just one of many AI and machine learning services on offer. Their Google AI and Machine Learning Platform have one of the widest ranges of advanced tech available for web applications. They have different AI capabilities available, ranging from business-enhancing, customisable tools that we can program to suit your needs, to advanced AI for data scientists. Some of the tools include video intelligence (similar to image recognition), automatic translation, and personalised recommendations, and we'll use them to uncover new potential for your web app.

Cloud Search and Smart Analytics

Make your own data searchable, then read what it tells you in real time.

Cloud Search is just like Google's internet search tool, but this time it's your data that you're sifting through. We can set up Cloud Search in your infrastructure so that it can be used across devices and by different users, with the potential to be accessed by your entire workforce. But, we'll also add security measures to ensure only those with permission have access to confidential information. Once Cloud Search is up and running, it can quickly sort through endless amounts of data to find what you're looking for, save valuable time, and optimise your business processes. You can use Cloud Search with your Google Workspace or third-party platforms, including Microsoft OneDrive and Amazon S3, making all of your data searchable.

Smart Analytics

Google is well-known for its data-driven insights, so it's no surprise that you can take advantage of these with Google Cloud Services. We'll connect your web app to their Smart Analytics Solutions so that you can receive and read real-time data. You can use these analytics to improve performance, scale, and reduce operational costs, optimising your business to become its very best. If you struggle knowing what to do with the data, don't worry; our team will be happy to help you read and understand it. You can then make better-informed decisions about your business and understand more about your customers — and that's just the start of the potential of analytics.

What Our Clients Say

  • Scorchsoft helped us take our idea for an app and make it a reality. Everything from the planning meeting to decide what we really needed to the project management and execution was great. It was delivered on time - early in fact - and on budget. Highly recommend.

  • We're really pleased with the work Scorchsoft has done in developing our web portal! They have been accurate with timelines and budget, delivering a solid product that allows us to monitor and manage patients remotely while they use our novel medical device at-home. The "plan - design - build" approach has worked well and saved us time in the long-run by catching requirements and issues early.

  • I'm really pleased with how my app came out, it was exactly what I was looking for. The team at Scorchsoft are great at what they do and made the whole process as simple and easy as possible. Being someone who is not very tech savvy the set up and back end operations were done in a great easy to use manner even for myself which makes using my app stress free. Thanks to all the team!

  • The new Flourish Education website has already removed a lot of manual processes, freeing up both schools, candidates and internal employees time. We are delighted with the look and feel which is clean, professional and more engaging. We are also pleased with the decision to have an HD video background on the homepage, and building immediate trust with our clients by giving them a taste of what it looks like in the Flourish Education offices.

    James HancocksMarketing Manager, Flourish Education
  • I can't believe how quickly we started to see results with this project. Scorchsoft provided us with graphic-designed mockups of how the app would look once built, and we were able to sell the product for use by our first customer before the product was finished. Since launching in March, we have secured a major television network as a client who now uses Image Approvals to manage the talent approval process for their productions.
