The Internet of Things (IoT) is one of the top topics of digitalisation in SMEs. Now the Czech Versino subsidiary has opened a door to the Internet of Things for SAP Business One.
SIGFOX is a French company that has taken on a challenging task: building an independent global radio network. However, the Start-up not fight with the big players for the world's mobile phone users. The new network will be used exclusively to connect sensors to the internet. So it's all about the Internet of Things.
Versino IoT
Our colleagues at Versino Cz have recognised the opportunities of this technology and integrated it into SAP Business One.
The Versino IoT Hub for SAP Business One enables bi-directional communication between SAP Business One and Sigfox sensors or internet-connected devices using SAP Business One Service Layer and SAP Cloud Platform IoT Services.
This way, the Sigfox sensors and IoT-enabled devices can be managed online with the Versino IoT Monitor.
Use cases
The use cases are, for example, in the field of predictive maintenance, i.e. maintenance/repair before a defect occurs. Applications such as automated service task planning or automated spare parts availability checks are also possible.
First customer is live
And one customer is already using Versino's Internet of Things technology.
The customer USSPA produces top design and high quality spas and pools in its factory in Dolnà Dobrou?, Czech Republic.
USSPA sells its products worldwide through various sales channels and distributors, including direct sales through its subsidiaries in the Czech Republic and Spain.
USSPA has decided to include the IoT solution in its digital technology landscape around SAP Business One. This will enable the company to improve control over delivered products worldwide and change its customer service strategy from reactive to proactive.
