Hardware + software platform for automated cable measurement and documentation
Aufmaster manufactures a patented cable-measurement device paired with a mobile and web application for real-time length documentation on job sites. The tech stack—React, Node.js, AWS Amplify, DynamoDB, AppSync—supports a field-first architecture designed to handle synchronization and performance in offline/unstable network conditions, a pattern evident in their active work on real-time data sync, cloud scaling, and field-condition reliability. The team is predominantly junior (5 interns) with minimal senior leadership, typical of a hardware-software startup in scaling phase.
Aufmaster builds a portable device that measures metallic-core cables (underground, control, telephone, CAT) in under 30 seconds and logs the data via an iOS/Android app. The product handles coiled, laid-out, or installed cable scenarios without requiring the cable end to be cut. Founded in 2019 in Frankfurt, the company is a privately held, two-person core team with rotating contractors and interns across engineering, product, marketing, customer success, and support. Active development includes a web application, mobile apps, backend services, API design, and an online academy for customer onboarding.
