At Control Unlimited, we’ve been leaders in grain aeration control for over 20 years, providing software and hardware products, electrical design, manufacturing services, and on-site installation and support across Australia.
GrainWatch
When we launched our newest product, the GrainWatch monitoring probes, we partnered with Doover to bring it to life. These innovative probes measure temperature and humidity within grain storages, delivering real-time data and instant alerts to growers. Doover powers both the cloud software behind GrainWatch and the user-friendly interface for our customers.
What set Doover apart was its adaptable platform. Instead of building a system from scratch, we leveraged Doover’s solid foundation to create a tailored solution quickly and cost-effectively. This accelerated our time to market while allowing us to continuously enhance the product over time.
Beyond speed and flexibility
The benefits of working with Doover extend beyond speed and flexibility. Their ever-evolving platform means we don’t have to worry about outdated software or large upfront costs. As Doover updates and improves, so do our products, ensuring we stay ahead of the curve. Plus, we can seamlessly integrate future products into the same ecosystem, scaling our offerings without reinventing the wheel.
Doover also stands out with its all-in-one platform. Unlike others, Doover empowers us to offer a fully integrated experience for selling connected equipment through our own branded app. This includes remote control and monitoring, automated data collection and reporting, user and device management, sales and billing, and even an online storefront, all in one place.
Selling a service, not just a product
The automation of recurring sales and billing has streamlined our operations and created a smooth, hassle-free experience for our customers. In fact, the simplicity and reliability of the Doover platform have become a key selling point for GrainWatch. It’s not just about offering a product; it’s about delivering a seamless, value-added service.
Our partnership with Doover has also unlocked new business opportunities. By introducing subscription-based revenue streams and additional sales channels, we’ve expanded our business model in ways we hadn’t previously considered.
What makes our relationship with Doover even more unique is its two-way nature. Not only are we a customer, but we also supply electrical control cabinets to other Doover customers, reinforcing the collaborative and mutually beneficial nature of our partnership.
Working with Doover has been a game-changer for Control Unlimited. It’s more than just a software platform; it’s a dynamic partnership that fuels innovation, streamlines operations, and opens new growth opportunities. We’re excited about the road ahead and confident that, with Doover by our side, the future is brighter than ever.
