About us

We're a startup developing next-generation IoT solutions based in Porto. We're passionate and hardworking and believe in a culture where everyone can contribute and make a real difference while enjoying what they do. Our vision is to help businesses achieve digital transformation, shaping how organisations save energy, increase efficiency, measure their processes, and improve their decision-making in real-time using all sorts of IoT solutions.
