🚀 Reflecting on an incredible 2024! 🎊
We're proud to look back on a year filled with great updates to our IoT platform. Let's review some of the highlights:

📈 Growth
This year, our development team resolved over 200 support requests and rolled out an impressive 634 product updates.

Our community is growing daily, with over 7,000 registered users now on akenza. We expanded our reach significantly, attending more than 50 events across Europe and making our first strides into the US market.

Online, we achieved over 100,000 website visitors and 800,000 LinkedIn impressions, further solidifying our digital presence.

💥 Device management
In 2024, we made several improvements to the akenza product, advancing our device management capabilities.
We launched Genio, our AI assistant, transforming complex data into clear insights. The introduction of the akenza Building Edge brought BMS and IoT data together into one platform.

Our library grew to include over 300 Device Types, and we made managing devices more efficient with enhanced device downlinks, advanced filter options for scalable operations, and on-premise availability. Exciting new connectivity integrations with mioty and VergeSense further broadened our ecosystem.

📊 Dashboards
Dashboards took center stage in 2024, transforming how users interact with their data. The 3D floorplan component brought facilities to life with immersive visualizations. We improved KPI visualizations, introduced direct device control from dashboards, and enabled white labeling capabilities, giving users the power to make akenza their own.

We're incredibly proud of these accomplishments and are grateful to our team for making them possible. We especially appreciate the valuable feedback from our users, which plays a crucial role in helping us continuously improve our products. The momentum of 2024 sets an exciting stage for what's to come in 2025!

New feature alert on akenza.io 👀🚀

Our users often forward their IoT data to external databases for further data processing. Previously, Output Connectors only supported raw, event-based data forwarding, which required significant processing on the application side. But now, with hourly data aggregations, you can minimize processing requirements and simplify data handling.

You can aggregate data using methods like Min, Max, AVG, SUM, COUNT, and OCCUPANCY before forwarding it to the end application, supporting numerous use cases.

Give this feature a try while building your Data Flow on akenza.io. Let us know what you think!
