Sprint announced that it will launch a redesigned Sprint IoT Factory, an IoT marketplace for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs).
The e-commerce platform allows customers to easily solve operational challenges with ready-to-deploy IoT products or with a fully customized solution to meet their specific needs, pain points, budgets and preferences. The newly redesigned Sprint IoT Factory will be available in early 2020.
Customers will be able to find and purchase solutions by solution type, function or industry to meet needs of all kinds – from asset tracking to refrigeration management to data security and more. Customers can tailor a solution to fit their business need and tackle challenges experienced by businesses of every size. This all new solutioning path guides customers to recommended solutions based on their specific pain points.
A series of questions and guided steps allow the user to easily navigate through the process and create custom packages – containing IoT sensors, software and other components – that deliver seamless monitoring and reporting, as well as a mobile app for management.
No technical expertise is required to install or utilize solutions from IoT Factory. The solutions are designed to enable small business owners to activate each system by following a couple of easy steps, with almost no configuration needed.
Sprint IoT Factory also enables businesses to consume their IoT products over a device-agnostic platform, regardless of whether they were bought from the Sprint IoT Factory or connected via open APIs. This ensures seamless product onboarding and an installation process for users of varying technical expertise. Customers also have the option of selecting professional installation services.
