Yotta and Blue IoT join forces to bring Asset Management and Smart Building and Environmental Services to customers worldwide
Announcement posted by Yotta 27 Oct 2020
Asset management software provider, Yotta, has signed a collaborative partnership agreement with IoT (Internet of Things) smart cities integration services firm, Blue IoT. The partnership will allow the two organisations to work together to offer customers infrastructure asset management – connecting everything from waste bins to streetlights to stormwater drains – alongside the common mission of delivering high-quality, low carbon footprint smart buildings, energy and environmental services management.
As a collaborative partnership, where appropriate, both parties will refer their customers and prospects to the other’s solutions and services, and highlight the benefits of these, as well as actively seeking opportunities to develop joint proofs of concept to demonstrate their capabilities to customers and prospects.
Moreover, both Yotta’s connected asset management platform, Alloy, and Blue IoT’s cloud-based IoT Building & Energy Management System (BEMS), Encompass Blue, feature open application programming interfaces (APIs); this enables end-user customers to integrate the two systems and also integrate them with their own infrastructure, together with other applications.
Anique Bravenboer, Alliance Manager, Yotta, said, “Historically, we have been associated with traditional highways and waste management opportunities with UK-based local governments and councils. Those markets will continue to be strong for us, however, we are looking to expand into new geographies and market sectors.
“Our interactions with customers increasingly start with IoT today and this is a space we want to grow into more moving forwards. This new partnership will help us to sustain this focus on IoT, as well as significantly expand the cost savings and efficiency gains we can offer our local government customers.
“Working with Blue IoT represents a value add for Yotta. Through Alloy we can offer customers better connectivity to all of their infrastructure assets. Thanks to our agreement with Blue IoT, we will also be able to offer them better smart building and energy management including a range of COVID-19 risk mitigation services, particularly indoors across their offices, facilities and sites,”
Bob Sharon, Founder and Chief Innovation Officer, Blue IoT, said, “We are delighted to be working with Yotta, with who we share a strong focus on introducing technology initiatives to benefit customers and reduce carbon footprints. Working with Yotta allows us to add asset management to our portfolio and expand our capability from inside buildings, to helping to deliver efficiencies in waste management and environmental services outdoors. We can also add value to the proposition by bringing in innovative service provider partners, in and around the asset management both indoors and outdoors.
“We are confident that this partnership will enable us to expand our market share not just in Australia, but across the world. I’m convinced that by pooling our resources and developing what we have together, we can leverage more business. The two businesses complement each other well. We look forward to working with Yotta to develop and explore new IoT focused opportunities over the coming months and years.”
Yotta is already involved in two proof of concept projects based on IoT capabilities in Australasia: the City of Ryde Green Bus Shelter project in Sydney, and a highways management and maintenance project for Auckland System Management (ASM) in New Zealand. Yotta expects the agreement with Blue IoT will enable the development of other opportunities into proof of concepts and long-term commercial opportunities in the IoT space.
