    Working with mF2C provided immediate benefits. mF2C has helped save us at least 15-25 % of development time through its deployment infrastructure, providing the ability to flexibly deploy the SmartBoat application in a modular fashion, allowing us to focus our resources on business-critical tasks.

    ~ Sašo Stanovnik, Senior Principal Software Architect, XLAB

    mF2C provided us a modular software to shape our data-intensive, real-time response application in the airport, able to scale and distribute processing and data, improving response time by 20% on average, guaranteeing instant response times in all cases. Even better leveraging mF2C security and privacy built-in features we guarantee the protection of users data
