UK software engineering specialist Ultamation has hired Manchester digital agency Pixel Kicks to create a new digital platform to support its next stage of growth.

Ultamation builds tools and software used to run smart homes and commercial buildings, working with manufacturers, installers and end clients on high-end audio-visual and automation projects. The appointment forms part of a wider investment in digital infrastructure as the business accelerates its shift towards a software-services-led commercial model.

The four-month project will see Pixel Kicks, now operating under PushON Commerce, design and build a bespoke WordPress and WooCommerce website that brings together Ultamation’s existing brochure site, B2B eCommerce store and technical support content in one place.
