About IoT

Harness the power of connected devices and real-time data to transform your business operations. Philo Software delivers end-to-end Internet of Things (IoT) solutions, helping you visualise, optimise, and digitise your business—no matter the industry.

Real-Time Visibility with OnSight

Our proprietary cloud platform, OnSight empowers you to create a digital twin—a real-time, interactive model of your assets, processes, or entire facility. Visualise operations as they happen, monitor every sensor, and use actionable insights to drive improvements. OnSight supports live dashboards, event-driven alerts, and historical analytics to help you make smarter, faster decisions.

Industry 4.0—Data-Driven Efficiency

Having demonstrated the power of IoT as part of the Industry 4.0 roadshow with Callaghan Innovation, we’ve shown how real-time sensor data transforms business management. From manufacturing lines to asset fleets, our solutions detect problems before they escalate, reduce risk, drive operational efficiencies, and put data-driven decisions in your hands.

End-to-End IoT Implementation

Getting started is easier than you think.

We design and implement IoT systems tailored to your specific business goals—whether it’s a simple sensor setup or a large-scale distributed network.

Simple Deployments:

Affordable, real-time food safety monitoring for restaurants and bars.

Protect your stock and reputation with temperature tracking and instant alerts. Prevent thousands in losses from overnight fridge/freezer failures with real-time service company notifications.

Advanced Projects:

Perfect for businesses with large numbers of assets deployed across customer sites—such as restoration companies, event operators, or equipment rental firms. Using low-cost BLE tags and our cloud platform, we implement passive tracking that is both affordable and scalable, without the burden of expensive data charges.

Result

• Gain real-time visibility over all your assets.
• Quickly identify when and where items go missing.
• Support faster investigation and recovery.
• Significantly reduce loss and save thousands on replacement and insurance costs.

This technology was recently implemented for a major flood restoration business in Auckland, dramatically improving asset management and reducing operational losses.

No matter your needs, we offer scalable solutions:

• Sensor selection, sourcing, and integration
• Custom BLE device development
• Cloud platform setup and configuration
• Dashboarding and automated event notifications

Custom IoT Hardware

If you have a unique use case, our team can design and deliver specialised hardware. Example devices we’ve built:

• Thin BLE temperature probes for monitoring apple core temperatures in export chains (e.g. Turners and Growers, Hastings)
• Real-time, accurate CO₂ measurement devices
• Temperature and humidity sensors
• Door open/close detectors
• Wearables: staff wristbands, smart ID cards, and more

Leveraging our global partner network, we can quickly source ready-made equipment or build to your specifications for maximum value.
