Flexible IoT Business Models

IMPLEMENT YOUR IOT SOLUTION EASILY WITH OUR RANGE OF BUSINESS MODELS

When you have decided to implement Connected Products and Smart Services for your business, you are faced with not just technology decisions but also commercial decisions.

Thinxtream offers a range of business models for you based on engagement scope, Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs) ownership and branding requirements.

When you are desirous of owning the IPRs of your custom IoT solutions, we offer our IoT services in traditional developments models based on fixed price, if your specifications are firm, or time & materials, if the specifications are still evolving. Once your IoT product is developed, you could continue to leverage our IoT services for sustenance and enhancements in the time & materials model. Obviously, you will badge the custom IoT product with your own brand in this model.

When you have decided to leverage Thinxtream’s IoT solutions and IPRs, we offer them in a traditional perpetual/annual software licensing or annual software-as-a-service business models. We may also opt to work with you in a revenue sharing model, with or without a base fee. In addition, we could charge you non-recurring expenses (NRE) fees to address any unique product/solution customization required by you.

You have a range of branding options if you are licensing our IoT solutions – you can white-label our product with your brand, you can co-brand it with Thinxtream or we can brand it for you and operate a turnkey solution. In each option, our scope of responsibility varies and we charge you an appropriate fee.
