The Challenge

BOLDR is an energy efficiency app that allows consumers to benefit from energy savings, home climate automation, and boosted convenience. BOLDR needs our help to quickly develop a sophisticated minimum viable product that was ready to address the needs of the customers and be ready to scale later on. BOLDR is on a mission to change the home heating and cooling infrastructure to be fully electric and sustainable. The company is going after a massive market of 2 billion old air conditioners.

The solution

SmartDev has partnered with a client to build an IoT system for an Energy Efficiency as a Service platform, designed to help consumers reduce energy consumption, automate home climate control, and improve convenience. The system includes mobile applications for both iOS and Android, as well as an MQTT system for IoT messaging. Built on a microservices architecture, the system is scalable and easy to maintain in the long run.

We always had a dedicated team at SmartDev. Every SmartDev team member was passionate about our product, both hardware and software. With such a tight team, everybody becomes mission-driven which leads to a great attention to detail and a willingness to make improvements in the app. It’s these little details and suggestions that made our app stand out and allowed us to be more competitive.
