Component manufacturer turned IoT Smart Home provider

A company specializing in heating and gas boiler components decided to transition into smart home technology by integrating electronics and IoT capabilities into its product line.

Client

The problem

The shift from component manufacturer to Smart Home provider brought different challenges. To address this, Orkli and Biotz developed a unified IoT platform for centralized control, data security, and scalable B2B/B2C solutions.

Data Ownership Issues:

Third-party cloud storage limits control over critical IoT data. User interaction data is fragmented across apps.

Poor User Experience:

Multiple apps for smart devices create a fragmented UX. No central platform for heating & cooling management.

Limited Scalability:

No integrated B2B solution for installers. Proprietary and third-party IoT systems lack interoperability.

The solution

A consultancy created the designs, while Biotz built the IoT platform and integrated B2B & B2C applications.

IoT Platform

- Device Management: Ownership, access, connectivity
- Data Processing: Storage, validation, analytics
- Security: On-prem Azure with Orkli-specific protocols

B2B Platform

- Internal Units: Manage Orkli’s users & devices across divisions
- Installers: Track and control end-user devices

B2C Mobile App

- Same backend with user-focused design
- Smart controls: Remote heating & cooling adjustments
- Monetization via extra features

The impact

Orkli’s IoT platform is designed for full control, security,and scalability, creating new business opportunities.

Data Ownership

Orkli fully controls all IoT data, enabling long-term business opportunities.
