Zoho Launches Customisable Low-Code IoT Platform with Pre-built Vertical Solutions to Enhance Business Efficiency and Improve Customer Experience
Scalable support for Industrial IoT, Smart Buildings, Remote Monitoring, and Connected OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturing) verticals
Bletchley, Milton Keynes, UK: September 25, 2024 – Zoho Corporation, a global technology company, today announced the launch of Zoho IoT, a user-friendly and scalable low-code platform enabling businesses to build and deploy custom IoT (Internet of Things) solutions.
Zoho IoT provides businesses with intelligent insights and streamlined operational analysis through seamless collection and management of IoT device data in real time.
The platform’s intuitive features empower organisations to automate processes and make data-driven decisions effortlessly, without the need for extensive technical expertise.
Zoho IoT provides industry-specific solutions that can either function as pre-built solutions or can be customised to integrate with other infrastructure to meet the unique needs of customers. Its compatibility with third-party hardware ensures seamless integration into existing systems, allowing businesses to scale rapidly.
The platform is built with robust security measures, ensuring data privacy and compliance with global standards.
“The Zoho IoT platform connects a wide range of IoT devices through a cloud-based system that provides robust data integration, orchestration, and visualisation capabilities-turning IoT solutions into virtual twins,” said Jason Bloomberg, Managing Director of analyst firm Intellyx. “Leveraging Zoho’s low-code and AI features, customers can develop customised digital twin solutions for complex environments like factories and office buildings, unlocking cost savings and business agility.”
Zoho IoT features advanced AI capabilities, allowing business users to develop powerful custom solutions more efficiently.
Leveraging Zoho IoT’s AI capabilities, businesses can transform data into actionable insights, predict system outages, identify anomalies or forecast trends, optimise operations, and enhance customer experiences.
“We believe that connecting Things with business workflows is key to creating a seamless customer experience,” said Sachin Agrawal, Managing Director, Zoho UK. “Zoho IoT is a platform-first solution, designed to offer customisable and flexible features for a range of industries. With its low-code, interoperable, and secure framework, Zoho IoT simplifies adoption while delivering powerful functionality that elevates operational efficiency and customer experience beyond standard offerings.”
Industry-Specific Solutions
In addition to customisable functionality, Zoho IoT provides four vertical-specific solutions:
● Industrial IoT: To optimise shop floor productivity, increase machine uptime, and reduce maintenance costs for high-value assets.
● Smart Buildings: To monitor assets, tenants, energy, and facilities under one unified system.
● Energy Management: To plan and manage energy consumption efficiently, with complete control over energy data.
● Connected OEMs: To unlock new revenue streams, enhance efficiency, and enable real-time insights and remote monitoring for smart products and connected OEMs.
Zoho IoT also offers targeted point solutions such as temperature monitoring, indoor air quality tracking, vehicle tracking, solar monitoring, water level/leakage detection, and more.
“As a global leader in wastewater energy for sustainable heating and cooling, we needed to empirically demonstrate its real-world impact across multiple customer installations,” said Mike Tanyi, Director of Marketing and IT at SHARC Energy. “Zoho IoT provided an enterprise-grade,’single pane of glass’ that tracks energy and carbon savings, temperature, pressure, and flow rates, along with automated alerts. This has enabled us to showcase the value of wastewater energy to our stakeholders properly.”
Pricing
Zoho IOT offers flexible, pay-as-you-grow pricing plans, starting from £39 for up to 25 devices and scaling to £399 for up to 500 devices, with the ability to support thousands of devices and billions of data points.
