HiQ develops EcoGuard’s new digital solution for smart buildings
EcoGuard has developed a new product for smart buildings that gathers and presents data in a simple way, in a flexible solution that can be updated over time without needing to be replaced. HiQ has been chosen as the development partner, with an assignment that covers everything from the technology installed in the building to the user-friendly interface.
EcoGuard’s new product, Air Portal, functions as a digital hub in the property, collecting data from various meters and sensors and providing the basis for analysis and billing. The product is built on an open architecture, which means it can be adapted over time as technology changes, since much of the data collection, storage and export takes place directly in Air Portal.
“We are seeing strong demand for using data in smarter ways, in everything from buildings to industry. This assignment shows how we create value by combining technology, design and user experience in a single solution,” says Per Gustafsson, Regional Manager, HiQ Mälardalen.
The collaboration with EcoGuard strengthens HiQ’s position as a leading partner for delivering complete connected solutions throughout the entire process, from connected products to systems and intuitive user interfaces.
Strong team behind the delivery
HiQ has had a cross-functional team in place from the start and, in close collaboration with EcoGuard, has worked on the entire solution, from connectivity to finished service. The project has brought together specialist expertise in radio communication, systems architecture and design, which has made it possible to build a robust and user-friendly end-to-end solution.
“By bringing all the necessary expertise together in a single team, HiQ can better support the customer throughout the entire process. We are proud to be a partner throughout the journey and to contribute to a product that delivers substantial business value,” says Per Gustafsson, Regional Manager, HiQ Mälardalen.
For EcoGuard, the collaboration with HiQ means that development can be driven in a unified way with one partner who takes responsibility for both the technical platform in the background and the interface that customers work with every day. This results in shorter decision paths, clearer accountability and a faster route from idea to finished functionality.
