Tepia builds real time apps: live tracking, chat, live dashboards and device feeds with WebSockets and offline aware sync. Live in 4 to 8 months.
Tepia builds real time applications: live tracking, chat and messaging, dashboards that update themselves, collaborative tools and IoT device feeds. WebSockets, push notifications and offline aware sync, engineered US led and typically live in 4 to 8 months.
Tepia builds screens that change because the world changed: tracking, chat, dashboards and device state over WebSockets and push.

Clients reconnect, replay missed events and reconcile state automatically, so a bad network never leaves a silently stale screen.

Tepia built live gate control for Maximum Controls, where a stale screen is a safety issue rather than an inconvenience.
Read: On Demand App DevelopmentIndustry figures Tepia plans around when scoping real time work.
Smartphone ownership exceeds 90 percent among working age adults in the US, per Pew Research, and users expect live experiences.
Around half of users abandon experiences that feel slow or stale, a finding Google has reported repeatedly for mobile.
People spend around 88 percent of mobile time inside apps rather than the mobile web, per eMarketer data.
Real time means the screen changes because the world changed, not because someone hit refresh. A courier moves on a map, a message lands, a machine reports a fault, a teammate edits the same record. Each demands the same engineering underneath: persistent connections, events that fan out to the right clients, and a plan for what happens when a phone tunnels out of coverage mid update.
Tepia has built this pattern across consumer and industrial products, including live gate control and device state for Maximum Controls, where a stale screen is not an inconvenience but a safety issue.
| Pattern | Best for | Trade off |
|---|---|---|
| WebSockets | Chat, collaboration, live device control | Stateful connections to manage at scale |
| Server sent events | Live dashboards and feeds, one way updates | Simpler, but one direction only |
| Push notifications | Reaching users when the app is closed | Delivery timing is best effort |
| Polling with backoff | Low frequency updates, maximum simplicity | Seconds of delay by design |
| Queues and pub/sub | Fanning events out to many consumers server side | Infrastructure to operate |
Tepia picks the simplest pattern that meets the latency your product actually needs, then engineers the failure cases: reconnection, missed message replay and duplicate suppression.
Demos of real time apps always work, because the demo network is perfect. Production networks are not. The engineering that separates a toy from a product is what happens after a disconnect: the client reconnects automatically, replays what it missed, reconciles conflicts, and never shows the user a silently stale screen.
Tepia builds offline aware sync into real time clients from the start, the same discipline it applies in field service apps where crews work with one bar of signal. Presence indicators, delivery states and optimistic updates are designed, not left to chance.
Discovery pins down the latency the product truly needs, screen by screen, because a two second dashboard and a two hundred millisecond control loop are different systems. You get User Stories with explicit freshness requirements. Design prototypes the live surfaces early, since real time UX (presence, motion, delivery states) needs to be felt, not described.
Development builds the event backbone on queues and pub/sub, load tests fan out under realistic connection counts, and Beta runs on real networks. Launch and Support include monitoring on connection health, not just server uptime. A US based Tepia project manager runs the engagement end to end.
A focused real time product, live tracking plus notifications, or a chat layer inside an existing app, typically takes 4 to 8 months. Adding real time features to a product Tepia did not build starts with a short architecture review of your current backend.
Real time pairs naturally with IoT and connected device apps and live dashboards, and Tepia often ships them together.
