2. Acid Tango is a full cycle product development studio based
in Madrid. We help funded startups, corporations and venture
builders innovate and build digital products.
Since our inception in 2009, we have solved various real
technological challenges for large tech-based businesses.
From automotive fleet tracking systems to an RFID wristband
ticketing platform to developing one of the largest Spanish
human resource database systems. Our résumé talks for
itself, yet we take a personal and handcrafted approach to
each new project. When we work with a client we become
their technological partner. We delve deep into the guts of
the project, identifying problems and proposing solutions
that are scalable and are user-centered.
Who we are
3. What we do
Digital Product Design
We use user-centered design methodologies to build
interactive digital experiences that focus on conversions.
Full Stack Development
We build front and backend solutions multi-platform
solutions using the latest technologies such as NodeJS,
Ruby, Python, Vue and React.
Information Infrastructure
We specialize in developing complex and robust
information systems that are scalable using technologies
such as Docker and Kubernetes.
4. How we do it
To provide real solutions we need to understand what the
actual problems are. That is why we follow a strict work
methodology. It all starts with a discovery phase, defining
project requirements and drafting a product roadmap.
This helps us get on the right foot. We then undergo a
series of design and development phases which are also
accompanied by a sequence of tests and iterations cycles.
We continue the relationship by providing constant
monitorisation and support of the project, making sure
that things are always working smoothly.
As we kick off a project we allocate a small but dedicated
team fit to the needs of the project. They will work closely
with the client’s team at each stage of the process, making
sure results are delivered.
6. Glownet provides RFID contactless solutions for the live
event industry, particularly music festivals. Their solution
combats ticket fraud, reduces queues, slashes transaction
times, increases spend per head, cuts staffing costs at gates
and bars and controls staff theft. It also gives promoters
transparency on vendor sales and provides customer
segmented profiling on purchasing behaviors.

7. Building the backbone
of Glownet
Glownet reached out to us in their early days to help them
build the core of their system. Our responsibility was mainly
to provide a backend system that would connect the RFID
devices to an administration portal that allows the devices
to be managed, including credit purchases through service
stations and global sales monitoring. We additionally
built end-user interfaces that would allow online credit
purchases and refunds to take place as well as integrating
its services with third-party ticketing systems that would
enable users to preorder credits on checkout.
Technologies used:
Ruby on Rails, JavaScript, jQuery, Slim, SASS, PostgreSQL
8. Used by recognized
brands worldwide
Glownet has deployed its fully cashless services at over
600 events across 40 countries worldwide with over 4
million unique activations. Clients include Live Nation,
Sonar and many more major music festival organisers.
The team has also worked with brand partners such as
Pernod Ricard, Spotify, Paypal, Maserati to enhance the
live event experience.
9. Trive is the first end to end vehicle e-commerce platform
in Europe. It is an elegant and smart solution for anyone

10. An advanced
e-commerce platform
We were contracted to build their vehicle e-commerce
platform from the start which included several innovative
features, such as Live Video or Test Drive that allows users
to inspect the vehicle from their computer or phone while
being explained by an expert and request a real free test
drive from the comfort of their home.
Technologies used:
Ruby on Rails, JavaScript, WebRTC, jQuery, Slim, SASS, PostgreSQL, Amazon AWS
11. BotOn is a B2B intelligence platform that provides mobility
data services to businesses in the automotive industry.
BotOn does this by processing data collected by different
capturing devices such as OBD’s, mobile phones or connected
vehicles to provide invaluable insights such as detailed trips
reports, fuel consumption, real time geo location, vehicle
health diagnostics and driving behaviour.
BotOn
12. Building the future of
connected vehicles
We were contracted at the initiation phase of the project
and took responsibility for building the core technological
architecture on which BotOn is based. Working tightly with
the projects team we designed a system that would be
versatile and could work for individuals as well as for
businesses. The core services included detailed trip analysis,
real-time geolocation tracking, vehicle diagnostics and
a push notification system for both end users and
management. We also developed an API that third-party
developers could use to integrate BotOn services into
their applications.
Technologies used:
Ruby on Rails, Vue.js, Docker, Rancher, Consul, PostgreSQL, PostGIS
13. Endless use cases for
automotive businesses
Although BotOn is still in its infant phase, it’s business
applications are endless. Currently, there are already car
renting business such as Bipi and Mitsubishi Chile using it
to track and monitor their fleet of vehicles. BotOn brings
the opportunity for fleets and manufacturers to keep an
updated status of each vehicle at all times. This offers
the ability to forecast when a car should need to go to a
workshop or be informed in real time if any vehicle of a
fleet has been damaged or stolen.
14. Being one of the largest human resource platforms in
Spain and responsible for over 280,000 signed contracts
in the last 4 years. This company with an international
presence has redefined how technology is implemented
in the human resource industry. Their services provide
corporations with a platform that allows them to manage
large employee data-bases with management features that
allow for contract renewals, digital signage of contracts and
document management.
Synergie
15. Putting an end to
endless paperwork
After analyzing the key processes linked to human resource
management, we embarked on a mission to automate
and simplify the repetitive tasks which human resource
managers must undergo every day.
Through powerful filtering capabilities, biometric signature
integrations and mass editing tools we simplified how
managers search and manage employee contracts. One
key feature of our solution was to allow managers to stack
contracts and sign them all with one signature action,
saving them valuable time.
Technologies used:
Ruby on Rails, JavaScript, Websockets, jQuery, Slim, SASS, PostgreSQL
16. Long term partners
in innovation
This ever-growing industry and Synergie’s hunger for
innovation has developed a strong partnership between
us where we are constantly improving their system,
enhancing latency, improving security while continually
planning the next features to enhance their services.
