IoT in Action

Product Overview

Real-Time Intelligence for Equipment-as-a-Service

Power your EaaS business with the remote monitoring, usage tracking, and proactive maintenance capabilities that make service contracts deliverable — and scalable.

You can’t guarantee uptime you can’t see

Every EaaS contract is a promise: the equipment will perform, and when it doesn’t, you’ll fix it fast. That promise is only keepable with continuous visibility into every deployed unit. Ubidots gives EaaS providers and OEM integrators a real-time view of every unit’s status, performance, and health — with automated alerts that trigger before a customer notices a problem, turning reactive service into proactive care.

Turn operational data into commercial leverage

Usage-based and outcome-based billing models live or die on data accuracy. Ubidots captures runtime hours, cycles, consumption, and operational events per unit — giving your billing, sales, and operations teams the reliable usage data they need to price contracts fairly, resolve billing disputes, and identify upsell opportunities based on real usage patterns.

Scale from a pilot fleet to hundreds of customers

Ubidots’ multi-organization architecture lets you onboard each new EaaS customer as an isolated organization — their data, dashboards, and alerts completely separate from every other customer, while you retain full visibility across the entire deployed fleet. Deploy a white-labeled monitoring portal under your own brand, and give each customer exactly the view they need without exposing your entire platform.

Quantify Environmental Is Slashing Utility Costs With Ubidots

Quantify Environmental uses wireless IoT sensors and Ubidots dashboards to turn utility data into real-time insights, helping industrial clients monitor water, energy, and gas use, detect inefficiencies, and act before costs rise.

$250,000+ in annual client savings through optimized water, electricity, and gas consumption.

Millions of liters of fresh water conserved and tons of CO₂ emissions prevented driving measurable sustainability outcomes.

Improved operational oversight with real-time visibility into utility usage and equipment performance.

Success Story

Further exploration revealed a platform that was not only robust and reliable, but also extremely user-friendly, offering intuitive data visualization tools that would be easily comprehensible by our clients.”

FrequentlyAsked Questions

Have questions about Ubidots? Here are some ofthe most common queries to help you get started.

How does Ubidots support usage-based billing for Equipment-as-a-Service models?

Ubidots can track the metrics that power consumption-based and subscription revenue models — runtime hours, cycle counts, energy consumption, or any other operational variable your pricing formula depends on. Using synthetic variables, you can build cumulative counters that accumulate readings over time and reset on billing cycles, without writing backend code. These values are accessible via the Ubidots API, so they can feed directly into your billing system or be surfaced to end customers on a white-labeled dashboard. Long-term data retention (10+ years) also means historical usage records are always available for dispute resolution or audits.

Can Ubidots deliver a white-labeled IoT monitoring portal to my end customers?

Yes. Ubidots offers a white-label add-on that can be purchased separately, giving you a fully branded portal with a custom domain, logo, and color scheme, plus an app builder for layout and navigation. Each customer organization is isolated with its own access scope, so a customer only sees their own equipment. Role-based access control lets you define what each user role can view or configure within that organization. The result is a branded portal your customers log into directly, with no visible reference to Ubidots — which is particularly valuable when the monitoring experience is part of the service contract you're selling.

How does Ubidots handle multi-tenant deployments for EaaS providers managing many customer accounts?

Ubidots' multi-organization architecture lets you create isolated environments for each customer, each with its own devices, dashboards, users, and alert rules — all managed from a single provider account. Device Types let you define a standard equipment configuration once and replicate it across the entire fleet, so onboarding a new customer account is a repeatable, low-effort process. Groups and tags let you filter and segment assets across customers for fleet-wide reporting, while role-based access control ensures customers never access each other's data.

How can EaaS providers use Ubidots to protect uptime SLAs and respond to equipment failures faster?

Ubidots' Events engine lets you configure condition-based alerts on any variable — threshold crossings, moving average deviations, or inactivity detection — so your team is notified the moment equipment behavior signals a problem. For more advanced degradation detection, UbiFunctions lets you deploy scheduled Python functions that run inference on live sensor data and write a health score back to the platform, triggering an alert before the issue escalates. Combined with 10+ years of historical data, you can also analyze failure patterns over time to identify which equipment types or operating conditions carry the highest risk, and adjust maintenance intervals accordingly.
