WHAT WE DO
From self-serve sensors to enterprise deployments.
DataDirect Intelligence is an IoT solutions company with a decade of proven deployment across the world's most demanding environments: defence, healthcare, and critical infrastructure.
We design, supply and manage sensor hardware and data platforms that give organisations real-time control over their assets, environments and operations.
Our Signal platform scales to where you are. Start small, order sensors online, connect in days, and get live visibility within the week. Or work with our team to scope a full enterprise deployment: custom sensor networks, data architecture, dashboards, and compliance reporting
Whatever the scale, the outcome is the same: you stop guessing and start knowing.

We don’t just supply technology. We manage it end to end.
Most businesses deal with multiple suppliers, multiple contacts and multiple headaches. DataDirect is different. One account manager handles everything - from sourcing and procurement through to deployment, support and lifecycle management.
We work with certified partners and take responsibility for the full journey. When something needs attention, you have one number to call.
One account manager
A dedicated person who understands your business, your infrastructure and your priorities.
Full lifecycle management
From requirements and design through to deployment and ongoing support. We don’t disappear after delivery.

Custom solutions in practice
Three ways we’ve helped clients just like you
New start IT bundle
Your team is growing. We make sure every new hire is set up and ready from day one.
We advise, source and build starter packs to your spec. Devices arrive pre-enrolled, configured and ready to use from first power-on. Consistent, stress-free onboarding every time.
AV & installation projects
You need the hardware and the people to install it. One call, both sorted.
Your account manager sources the hardware and coordinates certified installation partners. We oversee everything from procurement to final setup. You walk in and it works.
Enterprise IT lifecycle
From procurement to deployment to compliance. We manage the full lifecycle so you don’t have to.
We handle hardware strategy, licensing, auto-enrolment and ongoing compliance. Fewer admin overheads, better pricing through our partner relationships - all managed by one account manager.

Claire Cromie,
Digital Programme Lead
“From project inception the whole DDI team invested in understanding and refining tourism data capture, replacing year-old data with real-time data, providing valued insight to transform services.They brought together a range of business, technical and IoT specialism that differentiates and lifts them above other manufacturers and suppliers in the marketplace.”
“Quote”
Lara Bryan,
Health Operations Manager
“Earlier this year, WM5G engaged DDI to support a centrally funded Asset Tracking Pilot at Midlands Metropolitan University Hospital; a brand new exemplar hospital. From start to finish, it has been an absolute pleasure
to work with the DDI team. Despite challenging time frames and expectations, the team provided an exceptional service from start to finish. They have demonstrated patience, flexibility and generosity in the time and attention given to every aspect of this pilot and have been unflagging in their commitment and service levels through to the end.
I would, without hesitation, recommend DDI to any future client.”
