3. Centralised management of your connected objects
The video you've just seen clearly illustrates the problem of managing M2M SIM cards simultaneously!
Aware of this complexity, Matooma has designed its platform as a one-stop shop: the manager has access to all the SIM cards of his connected objects within the same interface.
IoT technology is complicated enough: imposing additional obstacles on you would be counter-productive, wouldn't it?
The M2MManager platform makes it easy to manage M2M SIM cards from a single source.
Centralising information simplifies the management of your entire fleet of connected objects, in real time.
Let's take a look at how the platform makes it possible to overcome all the hurdles, with an appreciable saving in effort.
4. All operators on one bill
Let's calculate the potential for management errors:
- multiply the number of subscriptions by the number of operators,
- multiply the result by the number of SIM cards,
- multiply the result by the number of callers.
To avoid this, Matooma makes the manager's job as easy as possible, with a single invoice that includes billing for all subscriptions with all operators, regardless of the number of M2M SIM cards connected.
The content of these invoices is also designed to be as easy to read and understand as possible.
With peace of mind restored, the manager can concentrate on all the tasks that really add value to his business.
5. Absolute control over consumption
The M2MManager platform incorporates a module that enables you to monitor the consumption of each machine by detailing the nature of the Data, SMS or Voice communication.
You can optimise your consumption and control your annual budget:
- you can monitor consumption in real time,
- you can set up and receive alerts based on the threshold you set,
- you can adjust your needs by managing each SIM card,
- you can suspend the use of a SIM card until it is reactivated,
- you can cancel a card whenever you like, thanks to our no-obligation offers.
6. A unified incident management system
The platform centralises all the information concerning each of your M2M SIM cards and therefore each operator.
You'll be alerted if one of your terminals is affected by an incident, so you can react quickly without running out of time or having to deal with multiple contacts...
Tip: you can segment your maps to organise your data according to your needs.
7. Expert IoT technical support
The Matooma company provides specific support for each company by assigning an IoT expert to it : the specialist analyses the needs and the technical context to recommend a suitable offer.
A ticketing tool accessible directly from the M2MManager platform simplifies the process by enabling direct contact with the expert for all your requests:
- assistance requests, - 1st level maintenance assistance,
- remote diagnostics, - decision support, etc.
The IoT expertise behind M2MManager saves time and optimises the performance of your connected objects.
