Company news

<p>Many industries are affected by the component situation, but particularly, car manufacturers, technology companies, and the industrial sector need to monitor the lack of hardware in the supply chain. And plan further ahead.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Our industry is strongly affected by this, with long delivery times and higher prices. Basic components are usually off-the-shelf items and are harder to get.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p>We are happy to say that we have worked proactively to avoid uncertainty and deliver on our orders. We appreciate every project we are a part of and would be grateful if you, who plan the infrastructure of these projects, <strong>would let us know as soon as possible what you expect from us</strong>. This way, we can schedule delivery and avoid an excessively long waiting time for the components.&nbsp;</p>



<p>For now, the situation seems to persist. The energy crisis, in combination with the important sustainability goals, means there is a high demand for our solutions. The best we can do is plan far ahead with all our partners.</p>

<p>For Kiona, it has been an eventful year. At the start of June, <a href="https://kiona.com/story/blog/becoming-one/">we merged four companies</a>, with different but complementary products, into one. That was one step forward in creating a unified ecosystem of solutions. New partnerships and customers have been formed this year, and new colleagues have joined from all over Europe. We are all ready to hit the new year running.</p>



<p>The ambition to develop solutions that make the world a little better each day is our driving force. At the same time, we know that we have the luxury of both working and living in peaceful and safe markets. That's not the case for everyone.</p>



<p>Today, more than 30 million children are on the run in the world and lack the basic need for security and safety. That is why we choose to support <a href="https://www.savethechildren.net/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Save the Children</a>.</p>



<p>Last year, they directly reached 43 million children in 118 countries, responded to 103 humanitarian emergencies across 63 countries – and spoke out in 126 instances of child rights violations. This is the bigger picture of some of their work.</p>



<h2 id="h-contribute-to-the-cause">Contribute to the cause</h2>



<p>We urge everyone we work with, as private individuals, businesses, and partners, to contribute to creating a better future for the world's children, the most vulnerable victims of any conflict. You can do this by <a href="https://www.savethechildren.net/about-us/how-you-can-help" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">making a single or monthly donation or giving to the children's emergency fund</a>.</p>

<p>Each individual's commitment will be essential to support the work that Save the Children does and, at the same time, contribute to the other challenges we face. Everyone needs to be on the same team to help the transition to a more sustainable future, reduce our climate impact and tackle the energy crisis.</p>



<p>We thank every partner, customer, and colleague for working together to futurize the property ecosystem. We are prepared to meet 2023 with trust, curiosity, and creativity.</p>



<p>All the best wishes for the new year,&nbsp;</p>



<p>The Kiona Team</p>

New beginnings – 2023

Get to know us even better

<p>This means we must dare to take some chances and do things we haven't done before. It requires that we have the courage and guts to think new and creative and break some barriers. Kiona is the whole package, the whole experience – from the solutions we offer to the e-mail that gives you helpful user tips or updates you on the latest trends.</p>



<p><strong>And starting today, we are one Kiona.</strong></p>



<h2 id="h-what-does-that-mean-for-you">What does that mean for you?</h2>



<p>For our existing customers, who have come to love one or more of our <a href="https://kiona.com/products/">products</a> – IMWAC, Edge, Energinet, or Web Port – everyday life will be pretty much the same. You can lean on the same people you have come to know. At the same time, we get more expertise and bigger muscles to help you. </p>



<ul><li>Our products, people, and solutions will remain the same. It's just more of everything. Becoming Kiona is how we can offer open, flexible, and independent solutions that can be tailored to your needs, depending on what you are looking for.</li></ul>



<ul><li>All products will now appear with the same colors and appearance. But no need to worry – except for a more similar wrapping, they still do the same job.</li></ul>



<ul><li>We put our hearts (and brains) together to continue to develop user-friendly technology that gives you the control and information you need. A faster pace of innovation will benefit you.</li></ul>



<p></p>



<h2 id="h-why-is-this-a-good-thing">Why is this a good thing?</h2>



<p>In many ways, this is the last piece that was missing to make the puzzle complete. Kiona is so much more than just a name, colors, and a logo. It is the step we had to take to become a little faster and stronger, to become who we always wanted to be.</p>



<p>To offer complete solutions, from ready-made setups for data integration to monitoring, advanced optimization, and reporting, we needed to be more curious, creative, and an even better partner you can trust. Therefore, Kiona is the perfect match for four stand-alone but complementary solutions.</p>



<p>For nearly 20 years, we have helped large property owners and small grocery stores make their technology perform better and push a little bit extra. Now it's time for us to challenge ourselves as well.</p>



<p>The keys to the realm are in your hands. We welcome you into our world!</p>
