Win the bigger project. We'll carry the software scope.

You won the project. Your PLC engineers and electricians have their scope handled — but this one also needs Python, AWS, a REST API, computer vision, a database, and a customer-facing dashboard. Hiring five specialists for one contract makes no sense. Losing the bid because of the software scope makes less.

That's the gap Willowark fills for integrators: senior cross-discipline engineering that drops onto your project, works under your project management, and disappears from your payroll the day the scope ends. Not a competitor — a subcontractor who makes your bid stronger.

Sound familiar?

If you've said any of these, we should talk.

The RFQ has a software scope we can't self-perform.

We price and carry the software, cloud, and data portions of your bid — so you can pursue projects your current bench can't cover alone.

Our controls guys are great; our vision guy doesn't exist.

Vision programming, lighting, camera integration, and AI inspection delivered inside your machine scope, to your delivery dates.

The customer wants dashboards and we build panels.

Production dashboards, historians, and reporting layers that sit cleanly on top of your controls work — and make your whole delivery look bigger.

We're buried and the deadline isn't moving.

Overflow capacity that arrives productive: an engineer who has commissioned systems on plant floors and doesn't need the industry explained.

What we bring

One engineering partner across the whole problem.

Typical first project

Embedded Engineering

Integrators who need specialized capacity (software, AI, vision, cloud, IoT) on a bid or an active project.

  • Scoped deliverable or weekly capacity, quoted before the bid goes in
  • Work under your flag, in your project management
  • On-site commissioning and startup support
  • Documentation that matches your submittal standards

Outcome: The project ships with your name on it and no permanent hire.

In your own words

Tell us about the project and the gap.

An engineer reads it — not a sales script — and replies within one business day with whether and how we would approach it.

Example: e.g. Controls are ours; we need vision programming and a customer-facing dashboard by commissioning.

Common questions

What system integrators ask first.

Will you go after our customers?

No. Subcontract work is under your flag — your customer relationship, your project management, our engineering. A reputation for poaching would end this line of work, and we know it.

Can you be on-site for commissioning?

Yes — commissioning, startup support, and troubleshooting at the customer site are part of the engagement, coordinated with your schedule.

How do you price subcontract scopes?

Either a fixed price against a written scope for defined deliverables, or weekly contract rates for embedded capacity. Both are quoted before the project starts, so your bid math is solid.

Can you quote fast enough for our bid cycle?

Usually. Send the drawings and the scope split and we return a written estimate with assumptions listed, so your bid math holds up. For repeat partners we keep rate cards on file to speed this up.

Will you carry the documentation and submittals your customers expect?

Yes. Functional descriptions, drawings, test records, and operator documentation are produced to your standards and delivered as part of the scope, not as an afterthought.

Strategy. Software. Systems.
