Fi-Sci Limited

 

These roles have now been filled.

Fi-Sci Limited initially formed to undertake consultancy for those who sought to identify, and evaluate fibre, yarn, fabric, and product variables of importance in product development. With the subsequent closure of Clothing and Textile Sciences at the University of Otago, Fi-Sci Ltd evolved into a vehicle for the continuation of a product development collaboration among researchers and a PhD candidate at the University of Otago (Ao NZ), a dermatologist (SYD, Australia), and a highly skilled commercial knitter (AKL, AoNZ).

Today Fi-Sci Ltd continues to support science informed product development and is aiming to bring a new science informed health tech product to the marketplace. Interest in this work reflects the increasing numbers of individuals living with the discomfort and distress associated skin conditions.

The outcome of our product development will be of initial interest to the parents of the 39% of infants and 1:3 children who develop eczema (EAA, 2025). Ultimately customers will be those engaged in both health care treatment prescription and those members of the general population undertaking on-going treatment at home.

These roles have now been filled.

The platform addresses the common pain points faced by small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) struggling with poor meeting culture, where teams find themselves stuck between endless meetings, messy messaging apps, and disconnected task tracking.

The solution features built-in video conferencing capabilities and integrated Kanban task management, while leveraging Google and Microsoft authentication systems and connecting with Google Calendar for seamless scheduling.

For organisations spending too much on disparate software solutions and seeking to improve their meeting effectiveness, Rppl provides a comprehensive alternative that helps teams collaborate smarter, focus on what matters, and accelerate execution across remote, hybrid, and in-office environments by eliminating the "who's doing what?" confusion through its all-in-one approach to team collaboration.
