挑战

WebWay, a company specializing in alarm signaling and remote monitoring security solutions, faced the challenge of transforming their product into a service. Initially, their business model involved building devices and having customers manage the SIMs and solutions themselves. However, they realized that bundling a SIM with the device and including management and billing services would provide additional lifetime value to their customers and a recurring stream of service revenue. Additionally, the ability to quickly diagnose device and connection problems was critical for the security industry, as alerts could indicate various issues such as intrusions or communication problems. Before implementing IoT, WebWay had limited visibility into deeper network issues, making it difficult to troubleshoot and support their customers effectively.

By leveraging IoT-enabled devices, WebWay can poll alarm systems, monitor networks, send alarms, and perform remote maintenance and servicing of alarm panels. Their innovative approach has attracted global providers such as ADT, Chubb, G4S, Secom, and Securitas, who rely on WebWay's solutions for enhanced security and operational efficiency.
