The Service Button
The Service Button
How we helped an international leader in Telecommunications
one button for 1001 uses
The Gimasi’s Service Button production comes from the aim of responding to Telekom’s clients in the retail sector.
Telekom needed a trusted partner to work with, able to design a digital technolgy that would help to optimize retail processes, improve customer service and cut costs.
THE CHALLENGE
Project Criticals
Telekom’s was facing a crisis in the retail sector: transport costs were too high, logistic sectors were changing for a greener approach…
The requestes were clear:
they needed a device able to optimize logistic processes, cut costs and maximize customer’s experience.
WHAT WE DID
Service Button Developing
We started the developing phase with the scope to tailor a device capable of meeting the charateristics that Telekom had requested.
Software development: we understood that there would be an intelligent button able to start many kinds of processes instantly.
Just pushing a button, the IoT Service Button sends a message to the Cloud Platform, that sends a response to the digital button for the previous request.
The Service Button is equipped with Temperature and Hall Sensor, optionally it can come with NFC Reader funtionalitiy. It uses LTE-M and NB-IoT Connectivity.
THE RESULTS
Service Button Functionality
The Service Button is desgined to allow workers to manually trigger a specific event directly from their work-station. Once acrivated, thanks to the LTE-M and NB-IoT connectivity, it sends an event to the Platform. This event can trigger automated responses as:
- real time notifications (email, alerts…)
- assistance protocol activation
- task or ticket creation
