SÖE Konsult: – Certified Partners can work independently with few lock-in effects.
SÖE Konsult has installed Web Port for customers all over Sweden since 2019. They help building owners and industries with digital infrastructure and ensure that there is a common thread between sensor and data platform.
As impartial consultants, they only recommend what is most beneficial to the customer, be it one of our solutions or something completely different.
Currently, Kiona's system has a very good balance between what they do themselves and what they enable contractors and consultants to do on their own. As a player, you can work very independently with their applications. This creates few lock-in effects.
Johan Geiborg, who co-founded SÖE five years ago, can see a development in the industry. While one previously was locked in regarding building automation solutions, people now want greater flexibility and the ability to choose which providers and services to use.
"Kiona is a player that is centralized and open with its systems, enabling conversion to an industry standard," he concludes.
NordDisk: – With close cooperation, we have managed to lift ourselves up compared to our competitors.
NordDisk has known about IWMAC, our SCADA for cooling and refrigeration, since the dawn of time and has used the system in supermarkets since the early 2000s.
We wanted to become partners to develop further in the field of energy saving and deliver easier monitoring, notification, and control through SCADA systems. Since then, we have delivered many smart solutions for managing complete systems within buildings and larger stores. It has been very successful.
As a total supplier of services and equipment within refrigeration, freezing, and air conditioning, they tailor solutions and take on projects from A to Z.
"We see it as one of our strengths that we have a short service path between suppliers, customers, and partners. With close cooperation, we have managed to lift ourselves up compared to our competitors. We are therefore very grateful for the Kiona partnership," Korsnes concludes.
Bravida Finland Oy Lahti: – We found what we needed with an easy-to-use platform and open technology.
Bravida is a leading automation company specializing in electrical building technology, centralized building automation, and maintenance. Their Finland department in Lahti became a partner in 2022 and is certified in Web Port.
"For years, I was on the hunt for a building monitoring software that would allow me to manage automation brands from various manufacturers. I found what I needed in Web Port: its pricing is transparent, the platform is easy to use, and the technology is open," says Technical director Jari Niemelä.
Their services were brand-dependent in the past, but today, they can offer the same services for multiple device configurations.
We previously focused on systems from three different suppliers. Now that we have an open platform like Web Port, we can also take on brands we haven't supported before.
He says the platform is robust and highly functional, making managing customers' property portfolios easier. And when they don't constantly have to switch monitoring views between different brands, their work efficiency also improves.
