Helping Netomnia Evolve ODIN to 3 Million UK Premises Serviceable With Full-Fibre Broadband

The Brief

Netomnia is the UK's fourth-largest full-fibre network operator, building at significant pace and scale. As their fibre network grew, ODIN became a key internal web platform for managing rollout and ongoing maintenance.

They needed experienced developers who could join an already established team, understand the product quickly and contribute from day one, without the overhead of a traditional agency engagement.

This was a strong fit for mmtm: deep web-development experience, existing fibre telecoms knowledge, and a track record of improving live systems people depend on daily.

The Challenge

ODIN is the operational core of the Netomnia business. It supports the practical work of planning, building, maintaining and selling fibre infrastructure. Changes couldn't be treated lightly.

So the challenge wasn't simply adding development capacity. It was delivering improvements in a codebase already in motion, without disrupting the fibre planners, surveyors, network builders, operations teams and build partners relying on it every day.

And it had to hold up as the organisation quickly grew. Feature decisions needed to make sense and have buy-in across the whole business, especially as Netomnia expanded and later merged with Brsk.

Our Solution

We provided senior engineering support across the ongoing development of ODIN. From the start, the focus was practical: understand the product and its users quickly, fit into the existing delivery rhythm, and ship business-critical features without adding friction.

Feature Development

We delivered new features across the platform, assisting activities such as Splicing, Build Audits and Requests for Change (RFCs), as well as integrations with other systems including QGIS and Openreach PIA.

Good delivery meant making sensible product decisions, understanding operations, and developing changes that held up in the real world and could scale.

Ongoing Support

Alongside roadmap work, we helped support ODIN as a live and evolving platform.

That included refining existing functionality, resolving issues and strengthening areas of the product where reliability and clarity mattered most.

Working Across Stakeholders

A major part of the engagement has been translating needs from across the business into focused technical delivery.

ODIN touches a wide group of people, from planning to design to build to auditing (especially so as Brsk joined the picture!), our role is to help create alignment: taking operational requirements from multiple sides of the business and turning them into meaningful improvements inside the platform.

ODIN Today

ODIN remains a central part of how Netomnia manages its network build and maintenance operations.

Our engagement concluded as Netomnia entered the next stage of its growth, following a £2 billion acquisition offer from nexfibre. As part of that process, mmtm also supported the technical due diligence around ODIN and helped ensure the platform was ready for handover.

Over our time with Netomnia, we added experienced engineering capability to a business-critical platform, got up to speed quickly, and delivered improvements without slowing the internal team down - exactly the kind of complex, embedded work that mmtm loves! 🤓
