Testimonials

DMK

We have thoroughly enjoyed working with wattx team. The team is approachable, and always available and they understand the demands of delivering products tailored to farmers, working around our needs and requirements. They were able to pinpoint the value-adding features early on and combine them with features that were easy to implement. The outcome: a successful proof of concept.

David Reinhardt
Innovation Manager, Corporate Strategy
Viessmann

We approached wattx with a vague idea on how to monitor our production plant, and they helped us develop a prototype, which collected the data about the machine's status and sent it to the cloud. This way we made sure that the real-time data about the machine status was provided to the factory, and a database for long-term analytics for the decision-makers. The solution was not only easy to use, but could also be installed very quickly and rolled out in the whole factory.

Lutz Lehmann
Viessmann-Werksleiter
Örlikon

wattx helped us extract data out of our machines without any prior knowledge in lightning speed. We now use this tool with one of our customers to access their production data and gain useful insights.

Andile Dlamini
Digital Project Manager – Digital Transfomation
Flughafen München

Before starting the project, we were skeptical about the use of sensors in our office building, since we thought that everything was working just fine. We were surprised to find out that there was still much potential to improve energy efficiency. The wattx team analyzed a huge amount of data and broke it down into clear recommendations. It was really fun working with them and as a result, we were able to significantly increase the efficiency of our HVAC appliances.

Andreas Liebl
Leiter - Objektmanagement
Siegwerk

We approached wattx with a specific software idea in a very complex stakeholder environment. Not only did the team quickly understand and evaluate the relevant processes, but also dissected crucial hurdles early on. We really enjoyed the flexible and cooperative work mode of the team, which allowed us to swiftly adapt the project plan. In the end, wattx delivered honest and well-founded recommendations with a clear and actionable approach to our future innovation endeavors.

Jens Adrio
Head of Corporate Development
Frike

We have been very satisfied with the work of wattx. The team worked very diligently and fast, communicating progress and problems always directly and open. We had a lot of fun working with the team and can only recommend their services.

Michael Jufer
Head of Business Unit "Care"
Netzsch

It was a real pleasure working with wattx. Their drive to actually build ventures and businesses instead of only drafting concepts was the ideal fit to our hands-on mentality. The team was very professional and executed the whole project on time and on budget, delivering a fully functioning MVP and an accompanying business strategy.

Christian Baier
Head of Netzsch Digital Unit (NEDGEX)
