Multilarm is written, sold and supported by Ali Muhammad, a sole trader based in Doncaster, UK, trading as Multilarm. When you buy a licence, that is who you contract with and who invoices you. There is no reseller, no parent company and no investor in between.
Multilarm is new. The software is complete enough to run a building — it runs continuously on the reference hardware its figures are measured on — and it is now taking on its first institutional sites. Saying that plainly is better than letting you infer something else from a polished website.
So that nothing on this site overstates that, three rules apply:
When real sites agree to be named, they will appear here as case studies, marked as such.
If your school, mosque or workplace would be one of the first, that comes with direct access to the person who wrote the software, and your requirements shape what is built next. In return we ask for honest feedback and, if it works for you, permission to write it up. Get in touch →
It is a fair worry, and the answer is in the design rather than a promise: the software runs entirely in your building, needs nothing from us to keep working, stores its configuration as readable XML and its audio as ordinary files, and the licence is perpetual with no phone-home check. The whole of that argument is on Longevity — what still works if we disappear.
It is not fire-alarm or life-safety equipment and is not certified to EN 54, UL 2572 or NFPA 72. Its emergency announcements can sit alongside a certified fire detection and alarm system. They never replace one.
