9 Connectivity Why should you pay for connections you don t use? For no reason at all! Our software based mobile core promises and delivers complete flexibility and scalability, GSM authentication, charging and policy management. All of them taken way outside the box. Should SIM Management be your priority, you ll be happy to learn that each of your SIM card can be managed remotely, either programmatically or via the web interface. This means you re in full control. For projects requiring enhanced security, the auto-deployable VPN service allows your customers to connect devices directly to their own private network.

10 Head in the Cloud Using IoT as a service model, our solutions lower the costs and complexity of owning and operating your infrastructure. Thinking about upgrades and improvements? They are added seamlessly! Our Cloud applications in 4 words? Intuitive Node-RED is a visual tool for wiring the Internet of Things, which can be used to build and run custom applications without the need to write a single line of code. Brilliant, right? Leveraging Node-RED s growing community and Simfony s communication and analytics assets you can quickly create new services. Easy as design, test and deploy The Cloud Platform provides a working framework necessary throughout all stages of an IoT project and can be used for a million purposes - prototyping, design, test or run a production environment, you name it. The application designer is integrated with the platform API, making it easy for you to interact with device meta-data and communication features. Rich in actionable data Scalable Data is the blood stream of our platform. Either being data sent from edge devices or residing somewhere else in the cloud, the IoT platform is focused on collecting it, storing it, triggering events and providing insights. You don t even need to worry about the structure of the data, our platform analyses it and presents it to you a ready-to-use view. We believe you should never pay for things and services you don t need. In this respect the cloud applications, like other Simfony services, employ a pay for what you use policy. Based on your needs the cloud environment can be scaled from a trial setup up to hundreds of transactions per second so you are always safe from unpredictable usage patterns.

11 More Than a Provider: we are a Partner We at Simfony Mobile are no Mr. Know-it-all. Instead, we try to put all our knowledge and expertise in service of our customers and grow along with them. Learning through trial and error is our approach. We start each project with a customer workshop, to precisely map the company s profile, the challenge and the expectations. This enables us to identify the best solution and achieve our goals. We believe that high-end technology should be accessible to anyone, no matter the time-frame, available budget, industry and company size. Here come 3 examples proving our work.

12 Samples of our work

13 1 Farming at its best: Smart Solutions, Healthy Business The Challenge Simfony s client, a preeminent presence in the global farming sector, observes that the livestock has drastically decreased due to poor health and living conditions. Furthermore, there was a lack of control and supervision over farming facilities and resources. In order to make the right decisions, manager needs an amount of data regarding some specific aspects. Key Tools After an in-depth discussion with the client, the solution used was LoRA, a local radio network which allows monitoring various parameters in a wide geographic area, with low power consumption, without building an expensive infrastructure. Sensors were installed to monitor and measure various parameters around the farm and transmit data in real time. The IoT platform collected real time actionable data from the sensors, triggering alarms or storing the data for future review. At the same time, dashboard and analytics became available to create historic reviews. Results in facts and figures Losses cut by 50% due to improved livestock health and better decision making. Optimized business processes. Statistics available anytime for managers' review. Improved regulatory compliance.

14 2 Valuable Assets, Smart Tracking and Monitoring Assets lie at the core of a business so why not giving them the well-deserved attention?! Now, here s how Simfony Mobile makes it easier: How difficult can it get? Very! Transported goods require constant monitoring in order to ensure that they reach the destination in an ideal condition Real time monitoring of specifically selected parameters Full control on storage spaces destined for fragile goods Things are even more challenging when it comes to fragile goods such as artwork, where legal regulations are very precise Worried of missing something? Than you know that product tracking is crucial Manual monitoring is difficult and less precise And there is also risk management ART W S K R O Real time alarms should critical situations occur Data storage and historical reports plus statistical analysis correlating parameters and events Developing applications based on a customizable algorithm and having them integrated with other systems and processes

15 3 A true story of turning failure into success Early 2016: we put the IoT platform to a first test. The client company, one of the largest players in the Romanian vending sector wanted to find out: is cashless vending a profitable approach? Three months later: everything was in place and purchases were ready to be made via SMS. Thanks to the platform s flexibility, the project was implemented at a fraction of the cost usually involved when building something from scratch. Bonus, as insights were gathered, the project was adjusted in real time. The real time monitoring permitted not only SMS payments, but also created substantial reports on how the machines are used and how consumers behave. By the end of the trial, the company was able to make an informed decision: the collected data showed that, in average, around 10% of the customers were willing to use SMS payments. Although other areas had better results, a large scale deployment was considered not opportune at this time. Thus, they saved precious time and money. Clever, right? At the end of the day, there is no point in giving up ambitious IoT plans all that s needed is an one-stop-shop partner ready to create the perfect solution for you.
