Case Study – Michelin

Customer satisfaction is a key performance indicator for Michelin when it comes to evaluating its intercontinental sea freight flows. In order to guarantee a high standard of service, the French tyre manufacturer wanted to ensure it had accurate, real-time information on the whereabouts of its stock at any given time and could inform customers immediately if there was going to be a delay to their shipment. Majority of goods in transit are supported financially by Michelin, so prompt delivery of shipments was also key to ensuring a healthy cash flow for the business.

Sigfox operator SimpleCell Networks teams up with first insurance company Direct echo in CEE to roll out cost-effective smart home protection solution

Czech Republic – July 17th, 2019 – Direct echo, Sigfox operator SimpleCell Networks and Simple Hardware have released unique motion and water sensor technology, including an intuitive mobile app developed by Direct echo, to alert people to adverse events that might be going on in their home.
