IoT Platform Development

Build an IoT Platform That
Runs Your Business

Off-the-shelf IoT platforms work until they don't β€” hitting walls on device limits, customization, or vendor lock-in. We build custom IoT platforms that handle your specific device protocols, data volumes, and business logic without compromises.

πŸš›

Fleet & Logistics Tracking

Real-time vehicle tracking, route optimization, and cargo condition monitoring β€” integrating GPS, temperature sensors, and fuel gauges into a unified logistics command center.

Logistics
🏭

Industrial Equipment Monitoring

Platform managing 50,000+ factory sensors β€” vibration analysis, thermal imaging, and power consumption tracking to predict equipment failures 72 hours in advance.

Manufacturing
🌑️

Cold Chain Compliance Platform

Continuous temperature and humidity monitoring for pharmaceutical and food logistics β€” with automated compliance reporting and instant breach alerts.

Healthcare & Food
🏒

Smart Building Management

HVAC, lighting, occupancy, and energy management unified on one platform β€” reducing energy costs by 35% while improving tenant comfort scores.

Core Capabilities

What Our IoT Platforms Include

Every platform we build covers the full stack β€” from device provisioning to business intelligence dashboards.

πŸ“±

Device Lifecycle Management

Provisioning, authentication, OTA firmware updates, health monitoring, and decommissioning β€” managing the complete lifecycle of every connected device from a single pane.

πŸ“‘

Multi-Protocol Data Ingestion

MQTT, CoAP, AMQP, HTTP, Modbus, OPC-UA β€” we build ingestion layers that speak your devices' native protocols without forcing costly hardware changes.

⚑

Real-Time Stream Processing

Edge-to-cloud data pipelines that process device telemetry in real time β€” computing aggregations, anomaly scores, and trigger conditions within milliseconds.

πŸ“Š

Analytics & Visualization

Interactive dashboards with drill-down capability β€” from fleet-wide KPIs to individual device telemetry charts, built for operations teams who need answers fast.

πŸ””

Alerting & Rules Engine

Configurable business rules that trigger alerts, workflows, and automated responses based on device data β€” without requiring code changes for every new rule.

πŸ”

Security & Access Control

Device identity management, mutual TLS, encrypted data channels, and role-based platform access β€” security architecture that satisfies FinTech-grade compliance requirements.

How It Works

How We Build Your IoT Platform

πŸ”
1

Requirements & Device Audit

Map your device fleet, communication protocols, data volumes, and business use cases β€” defining exactly what the platform needs to do and at what scale.

πŸ—οΈ
2

Architecture & Tech Selection

Design the platform architecture β€” choosing cloud services, message brokers, databases, and processing engines based on your specific throughput and latency requirements.

πŸ”§
3

Core Platform Build

Develop device management, data ingestion, processing pipelines, and the API layer β€” with CI/CD from day one and test coverage on every component.

πŸ“Š
4

Dashboards & Integrations

Build operations dashboards, configure alerting rules, and integrate with your existing systems β€” ERP, CRM, ticketing, and billing platforms.

πŸš€
5

Staged Rollout & Scale

Deploy to a pilot device group, validate performance, then scale to the full fleet with monitoring and support during the ramp-up period.

🌐 Platform Outcomes

A platform built for your business operates differently than one you rented.

Our custom IoT platforms eliminate vendor lock-in, handle your exact device protocols, and scale to millions of devices without the per-device pricing traps of commercial platforms.

Key Benefits

What Makes Our IoT Platforms Different

We have built platforms that manage millions of devices across payments, logistics, and industrial operations β€” and we know where commercial platforms fall short.

βœ“
No Per-Device Licensing Traps
Commercial IoT platforms charge per device per month β€” costs that become unsustainable at scale. Our custom platforms have fixed infrastructure costs that don't grow linearly with your device fleet.
βœ“
Your Protocols, Not Theirs
We build ingestion layers that support your devices' native protocols β€” including legacy industrial protocols that commercial platforms don't handle without expensive adapters.
βœ“
Full Ownership & Control
You own the codebase, the infrastructure, and the data. No vendor dependency for feature requests, no data residency surprises, no forced platform upgrades that break your integrations.
Why OpenMalo

Why Teams Build IoT Platforms With Us

We are not IoT consultants who draw diagrams. We are engineers who build production platforms.

🏦
FinTech IoT Specialization
ATM monitoring, POS fleet management, payment terminal health β€” we understand the regulatory and operational requirements that make financial device management uniquely demanding.
πŸ“‘
Protocol-Level Expertise
MQTT, CoAP, Modbus, OPC-UA, BLE, LoRaWAN β€” we have built production connectors for protocols that most development teams have only read about.
πŸ“ˆ
Scale-Proven Architecture
Our platform architectures are proven at 2M+ devices. We design for horizontal scaling from day one β€” not bolting on scalability when you hit limits.
πŸ’°
Honest Cost Modeling
We provide transparent TCO comparisons β€” custom platform vs. commercial alternatives β€” so you make the build-vs-buy decision with real numbers, not vendor marketing.
πŸ”
Security From the Device Up
Device attestation, certificate rotation, encrypted channels, zero-trust edge β€” security designed for the unique threat model of connected devices, not borrowed from web application patterns.
🀝
Long-Term Partnership Model
80% of our IoT platform clients continue with us for ongoing development and support. We build platforms designed for your team to operate β€” and we stay available when you need us.

Featured Case Study

18,000 Payment Terminals Managed From One Platform

πŸ’³ FinTech

IoT Platform for PayGrid Terminal Fleet

How we built a custom IoT platform that gives PayGrid real-time visibility into 18,000 payment terminals across 6 countries β€” replacing a patchwork of vendor dashboards with a unified fleet management system.

The Challenge

Six countries, four vendors, zero unified visibility

PayGrid operated payment terminals from four different manufacturers across six countries. Each vendor had its own monitoring dashboard, different data formats, and separate support channels. When a terminal went down, the operations team often didn't know for hours β€” and dispatching a technician required checking three different systems.

No unified view across 4 terminal vendors and 6 countries
Average 4.5-hour detection time for terminal failures
Unnecessary field dispatches for issues fixable via remote commands
No predictive maintenance β€” all repairs were reactive

Our Approach: We built a multi-tenant IoT platform with vendor-agnostic device connectors, a unified data model for terminal telemetry, real-time health monitoring with predictive alerts, and remote command capabilities β€” deployed country-by-country over 14 weeks with zero terminal downtime during migration.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

It depends on your scale and customization needs. Under 10,000 devices with standard protocols, commercial platforms often make sense. Above that β€” or if you have legacy protocols, complex business logic, or per-device cost concerns β€” custom platforms typically deliver better ROI. We help you model both options.
