Business model
We clarify which service your customers will buy and how you earn revenue from it, before the first circuit board exists.
NXTGN IoT Accelerator
We develop your IoT product from business model to operations.
We first establish which service your customers will buy and how you will earn revenue from it. Then we develop hardware, connectivity, data hub and apps and keep operating the solution. This is how we brought MENNEKES' M.ONE product line to Light + Building in about a year and a half.

Product and solution
The parts we deliver for your product.
You can start with any part. We plan security, certification and operations from day one.
Hardware and certification
NXTGN Technologies develops electronics, firmware and antennas and supports radio certification under RED with EN 18031.
Connectivity
NXTGN Secure SIM with mobile partners such as Telekom and Vodafone, securely connected to your data hub.
Data hub and platform
Devices, data, updates and alerts run in NXTGN IoT CORE or in a dedicated data hub for your product.
Apps under your brand
Customer portal, service app and connection to CRM and ERP, under your brand.
Operations
We keep operating the solution, monitor the fleet and develop it further with you.
Architecture
From signal to business process.
The data does not end in a dashboard. It flows into service, CRM, ERP and your customers' apps.
Use cases
What we have already built
Connected products
For MENNEKES we developed the hardware of the roughly 20 devices in the M.ONE Core line and the data hub.
Containers and mobile assets
With ibc.digital, BASF Coatings and THIELMANN track IBC containers with the Chem.Trace Z2 tracker. Several hundred devices are in use.
Monitoring equipment
COLANDIS ConnectedAir controls and monitors cleanroom technology and predicts filter changes, in productive use for more than five years.
From our projects
MENNEKES M.ONE at the trade fair in about a year and a half
For MENNEKES, NXTGN Technologies developed the hardware of all roughly 20 devices in the M.ONE Core line, with radio certification under RED including EN 18031. NXTGN Solutions built the data hub. After about a year and a half the product line was shown at Light + Building, and we continue to support MENNEKES.

How your product becomes a digital service
Our building blocks incorporate over ten years of IoT experience. We consider the business model, devices, platform and operations together. Your customer gets a useful service that you can develop economically.
01
Digital services for your customers
Your customers expect condition data, remote access or a service portal alongside the physical product. The offering needs to be sellable and operable.
What we deliver
We start with the customer problem and service promise. NXTGN IoT CORE supplies the data hub; suitable hardware, connectivity and a branded application complete the product. Pricing, service cost and ownership are planned before rollout.
What you gain
You build the digital service on existing components and focus development on the parts that differentiate your offering.
How we measure value
Paying devices or customers, revenue per service, direct service cost, support effort and renewals.
02
Fleets, devices and operations
Each device generation adds profiles, updates, SIM management and data processing. Separate solutions make operations harder to manage.
What we deliver
We combine inventory, device and hardware profiles, connectivity, telemetry and FOTA in the data hub. Tenancy, APIs and monitoring share an operating model. Device-specific capabilities stay separate from the platform core.
What you gain
New devices do not require a separate platform each time. Support can inspect devices and connections and roll out updates in a controlled way.
How we measure value
Effort per connected device, successful updates, available devices, connectivity cost and support cases.
03
White-label platform instead of rebuilding
You want a branded offering with digital capabilities. Rebuilding the whole platform ties up development capacity before the service is sold.
What we deliver
We assess the existing data hub and portal components against your requirements. We agree the customer interface, permissions, device connections and APIs. Operations and support have clear owners.
What you gain
You use a reusable core under your brand. Custom work goes into customer value and workflows rather than rebuilding the same foundation.
How we measure value
Implementation effort versus rebuilding, time to first customer, ongoing platform cost and effort per new device family.
Next step
Which digital service do you want to offer?
We discuss your customers, revenue model and existing technology, then define the platform, devices and apps.
