Interactive Oceanographics

Interactive Oceanographics provides water quality sensors, remote monitoring, and bathymetric survey systems. The job it does: building software for you when nothing off the shelf fits.

Who is it for? Mostly companies with a specific process to automate. They also list Remote Sensing and Water, so expect those to show up in the feature set. As a small company team themselves (11 to 50 people), they tend to serve customers of a similar scale best. Small vendors mean quick answers and real influence on the roadmap, but check who covers support when someone is out.

Interactive Oceanographics is based in East Greenwich, Rhode Island. Their site is riocean.com.
