Stockholm, Aug 18, 2021: Swedish technology company OmboriGrid AB (publ) has launched the Ombori Grid Marketplace for the retail sector.
Ombori Grid’s targeted programs enable differently sized businesses to elevate customer experiences and streamline their operations through easy installation of their no-code applications. Ombori’s “prebuilt playbooks” are the first of their kind to hit the Internet of Things (or IoT) market, the company said in a press release.
Prior to Ombori Grid’s no-code apps, the only available option was to develop an expensive and laborious bespoke solution. Retailers had to engage consultants or set up in-house development teams to design and build, and maintain a custom hardware and software framework.
These logistics issues and expenses have resulted in systems that customers don’t like and don’t want to use. Retailers who have installed the digitalized systems found that they are difficult to scale to multiple store locations.
The Microsoft Azure IoT platform hosts the Ombori Grid and the growing number of Marketplace solutions.
For retailers who already have an Azure account, the purchase and billing process is quick and easy through the Azure Marketplace. There’s no need to go through a lengthy procurement process, and payment can be made through their existing Microsoft Azure subscription, making the solutions easier to implement with less hurdles and time needed for vendor compliance assessments.
