Switchee

Switchee is the first smart thermostat for affordable housing, fighting fuel poverty and providing landlords with asset management and welfare KPIs. As they began to scale, they used a third-party provider to build a system, but the providers weren’t IoT experts and the user interface was cumbersome to navigate.

As they began to scale up, the system was proven unfit to support Switchee’s growth and the amount of data warehousing they needed. Deploying devices became messy and painful, and operational management became their main blockage.
