Background

GeoZilla is a connected platform powered by smart algorithms. It allows people to keep track of loved ones’ locations with ease and ensure their safety. The company contacted Quontex in 2020, and since then, we’ve provided GeoZilla with a significant number of different solutions.

Our engagement encompassed diverse projects, including cloud migration, building an in-house BI system, managing buy-side M&A, and further product integration. What’s more, GeoZilla collaborated with Quontex to develop a B2C IoT Platform as well as harness ML capabilities.

Challenge

Transitioning from on-premises infrastructure to Amazon Cloud, Geozilla faced the challenge of migrating numerous databases and backend service code. Thus, they asked Quontex for assistance to execute migration seamlessly without downtime or data loss.

Furthermore, Geozilla grappled with managing an extensive array of data sources, including real-time ones. They needed to create a system that would enhance decision-making and enable managers to make informed strategic choices promptly.

As the client embarked on acquiring competitors to expand its market presence, Quontex was engaged in conducting comprehensive technical due-dillegence pre-acquisition.

Recognizing the IoT potential, Geozilla wanted to collaborate strategically with IoT products, including wearables. Thus, they asked Quontex to create a B2C IoT platform that will help address customer needs better.

Later on, Geozilla identified an opportunity to utilize Machine Learning for incident detection. The company contacted Quontex again to engineer algorithmic solutions capable of analyzing extensive sensor data to detect anomalies and identify accidents.

Solution

Employing a meticulously planned migration strategy provided by Quontex, Geozilla completely revamped its architecture and transitioned to a robust IaaS cloud environment. Initially plagued by infrastructure-related issues, such as scalability limitations and high operational costs, the client now enjoys a more reliable infrastructure that automatically scales up and down as needed.

To improve data management, Quontex devised a BI system that facilitates ETL processes, consolidating and normalizing data before storing it in Google BigQuery’s Data Lake. This BI system now empowers key stakeholders to construct dashboards tailored to their needs, leveraging insights derived from the comprehensive dataset in Data Lake.

Afterward, the Quontex team supported GeoZilla in the buy-side M&A process of several companies. Meanwhile, post-acquisition, the client enlisted Quontex’s expertise to streamline integration efforts. We ensured product alignment with unified infrastructure and seamless data integration into the BI system.

After a strategic decision to merge IoT into GeoZilla’s strategy, Quontex spearheaded the integration of over 15 IoT devices. This initiative empowered Geozilla to effectively cater to diverse customer needs, enhancing user experience and expanding its market reach.

Leveraging insights from IoT platform implementation, the Quontex team helped the client build an algorithmic solution that allows you to analyze a large amount of sensor data and detect dangerous situations. This ML-driven approach enables Geozilla to swiftly respond to emergencies by alerting relevant authorities, thus enhancing user security.

Results

The years of collaboration between GeoZilla and Quontex allowed our client to grow exponentially by significantly enhancing the processes. We helped GeoZilla build new solutions, purchase and integrate products, and streamline operations inside the company.

Now, Geozilla is one of the dominant apps in the mobile GPS tracking market. This successful partnership highlights Quontex’s ability to provide tailored solutions in various spheres, offering a comprehensive approach for every client.
