Why LEGO? We think it is a good parable to how we are trying to do IoT and sell Sigfox. Currently, most of the System Operators, including us, not selling LEGO boxes, but selling raw materials that IoT project consists of.
What do we know about the current situation? There is a traditional Sigfox model, where integrators have several things they have to do. For example, they are required to сomprehend Sigfox, coverage, backend, pricing, do Discovery with the End-customer, find the Business case, platform, and hardware, integrate customer, define POC, etc. In the improved Sigfox model, integrators get more help from Sigfox and their partner’s webpage. In fact, while choosing, for instance, a device they cannot truly rely on the reviews, relevant rating or verified data.
At first, developing an end-to-end solution seems like the best way to go. Besides, it looks nice and can be sold quickly. Although it is hard to implement because later on, it starts to get complicated if a solution needs to be tweaked, hardware, or platform changed.
Therefore, all the pressure falls into the hands of system integrators, so we believe with the concept of LEGO boxes we can help the processes to improve.
Lego boxes
We think that the best approach will be LEGO boxes based on the use case. It is a concept, where you have a real box, which contains the whole picture of an end solution. What else?
