Technology shouldn’t hold you back

The outcome was clear: to use smarter, connected technology to improve customer experience and operational efficiency.

With no real-time data, this leading global stairlift manufacturer was resigned to reactive maintenance, which meant unexpected downtime and inconvenience for users. Upgrading to a next-generation system had the potential to change the way maintenance and servicing worked. But it needed the ability to scale to manage a growing global fleet if the system was to keep pace with the manufacturer’s success.

Using technology to rethink customer care

It’s impossible to make the right technology recommendations without first understanding where the business is and the outcome it seeks to achieve. In this case, we needed the proven architecture and practical delivery experience of the True9 IoT Accelerator to make stairlift maintenance smarter, faster and more proactive, while taking advantage of cloud technologies for global connectivity.

The goal may be achieving momentum for the company and its future, but our team always meets you where you are and moves at your pace. For this client, we used a two-phased approach to match the client’s goals and budget:

Phase 1: focused on having an immediate impact with real-time monitoring and remote diagnostics.

Phase 2: laid the foundations for AI-driven predictive analytics and broader ecosystem integration.

The result: the manufacturer saw real results early on, with a clear roadmap for what comes next.
