Smart-Building Developer Cuts Software Implementation Time by 30% – Optimizing Energy Use Across Eco-Friendly Facilities

Integrating a new software stack for every building was slow, costly, and stood in the way of an eco-friendly strategy

Our client is a Germany-based company that constructs smart facilities across Europe – homes and offices. Their services span construction, IoT sensor deployment, and software integration for device and data management.

The problem was repetition. For each building, they deployed sensors and then set up data management and analytics using whatever software the customer preferred. That meant onboarding and integrating with new systems every time – a significant investment of time, money, and effort, and a recurring technical challenge.

At the same time, the client’s strategy was shifting toward eco-friendly buildings. That ambition required data analytics to optimize energy use, reduce waste, and lower carbon footprint – capabilities their ad-hoc, per-customer integrations couldn’t reliably deliver.

The client decided to develop their own software that could be easily deployed in new buildings. Yalantis proposed using the Yalantis IoT Accelerator – a proof-of-concept system that integrates seamlessly with the varied IoT devices found across different building types – and building additional modules tailored to the client’s specific business processes.

A cloud-agnostic IoT platform built on the Yalantis Accelerator, customized for smart-building energy management

The IoT Accelerator gave us a proven foundation with a customizable multi-tier, cloud-agnostic architecture (running on cloud services, Docker, and Kubernetes), Apache Druid as a scalable data-processing core, a user management module, and a UI component library. On top of it, we built the data pipeline and custom modules the client’s business needed.
