Access and Analyze IoT Data Your Way
You don't need programming or IT experience beyond installing an app on your smartphone, easily configuring the sensors in the app, or viewing it in the cloud on your laptop or PC. Our iMonnit® Software helps you analyze data and receive alerts via email, text, push notification, or voice call when sensors detect a change you should know.
We offer multiple versions of iMonnit—cloud, mobile, on-premises, and standalone PC—so you can monitor however, whenever, and wherever you want. It's your IoT data. We help you own it. You can even send it to third-party applications and your cloud. Then, you can make corrections to preserve resources, maintain assets, and protect people.
From IoT hardware to software, Monnit offers a cost-effective operational model: you buy the hardware upfront, pay for low-annual software licenses and data plans, and we host your data. Some partners can private-label our IoT solutions for reselling or integration into a unique offering.
Our IoT platform's simplicity, vertical-market versatility, and data accessibility are cornerstones of Monnit's success.
