The Challenge
Vitality, a company focused on making buildings smart by analyzing IoT data for energy savings and risk mitigation, faced a significant challenge as it grew. The company's original plan involved building basic analytics into its platform. However, as the company expanded, customer demands for analytics quickly outpaced what Vitality could build in-house. The company realized it needed to purchase analytics capabilities to stay relevant to its customers. These capabilities needed to be seamlessly integrated into its proprietary platform, matching the look and feel of its software, and delivering an industry-leading user experience. Additionally, Vitality saw a huge potential for future growth by augmenting its powerful algorithms with industry-leading embedded analytics.

About The Customer
Vitality is a company founded by energy experts with the aim of making any building a smart building. The team at Vitality does this by aggregating and analyzing a property’s internet of things data to identify energy demand and savings, risk mitigation opportunities, and overall building health. By centralizing data from devices on meters, sprinklers, building automation systems, and more, Vitality’s building intelligence solution unifies all endpoint data in a single place. Its platform takes the guesswork out of building operations to help property managers reduce operating expenses, avoid costly damage, and optimize ROI while lowering overall energy consumption.
The Solution
To meet its growing needs, Vitality turned to Sisense for embedded analytics. Sisense provided a more efficient and cost-effective alternative to building analytics capabilities from scratch. It could be easily embedded into Vitality's core product and customized to match the look and feel of the existing software. This allowed Vitality to get to market much faster than if it had tried to build the capabilities itself. Sisense also enabled the Vitality team to quickly add value with pre-built features and open-source APIs that integrated seamlessly with the existing products. This allowed the Vitality team to remain focused on its own expertise: algorithms, measurement, and verification. Sisense's embedded analytics were integral to making Vitality’s platform enterprise-grade, empowering it to start winning big in new markets.
