Chief solutions officer

A serious IoT solution is never just devices and dashboards. It's an ecosystem of 30-plus moving parts - middleware, integrations, workflows, server-side and application-level services. All of this must be scaled and upgraded together.

Most projects stall at that integration layer, while business logic waits. We eliminate that bottleneck by placing ThingsBoard at the core of the solution.

Its microservice architecture already provides us with all the needed components, and they are already integrated, so we can focus on business logic and reuse functions instead of re-inventing them.

The outcome for our clients is simple - solution delivery is about 8x faster and 11x cheaper than a traditional greenfield development.

Fast delivery it's not about time management, it's about expertise, knowledge, and a ready-to-develop core platform
