.nanobile is the Internet of things and Artificial Intelligence hardware and software manufacturing and development company.
Their main focus is on Smart Urban and Rural Clean-Tech solutions, and are located in Serbia, with offices in Novi Sad and Zrenjanin.
.nanobile, as a company, strive to minimize the number of problems caused by traffic and parking. How often have you been late to an important meeting or taking your child to school, just because you got stuck in traffic or couldn’t find a suitable parking spot?
Today’s urban life tends to be quite messy and not well organized because people are in a hurry and stressed, especially while driving. Being stuck in traffic and the inability to find a parking spot can also cause issues such as:
– Waste of money – It can cost a lot when it comes to gas
– Waste of time and energy – We lose our precious time, and it can be pretty tiresome
– And Air-pollution – That is causing a lot of deaths around the globe every year.
.nanobile developed an integrated software and hardware solution that offers our users real-time parking and traffic overview along with an option to reserve a specific parking spot. Navigation and payment systems are included as well as some other additional features – all backed by their sensors and bollards. The application is available for Android and iOS, and it’s free of charge for drivers. On the other hand, the monthly subscription plan includes a web application made for clients.
What are the main benefits of the solution?
Firstly, making people’s (drivers, users) lives more comfortable while at the same time offering them more time. .nanobile solution saves money, and users will have more reliability. As for clients (governments & businesses), they offer them better parking management, a positive social impact, and data for future urban planning. Most importantly, everyone all together, lowering the CO2 emissions in our cities.
Why .nanobile?
They offer their users’ a real-time reservation option. As a Clean-Tech focused company, they are using the high-end Eco-Friendly materials, to which they have exclusive rights of usage. These materials enable them to have low-cost production and circular economy in the production. The mission is to make this solution affordable for all cities around the globe, with easy installation of the system we are making sure to be more efficient with implementations.
The road that .nanobile have traveled so far
Their journey has started at the end of 2018 with a simple idea. Currently, they are preparing for the first production and pilot implementations planned to do in the third quarter of 2020. However, the first full implementation, if everything goes as planned, should be done at the end of this or the start of next year. Until now, they have been bootstrapping the company, and are planning to raise the SEED round in the next couple of months to accelerate our business.
We are happy to be backed by many partners who are here to help us offer the best solution, to be on time with production and delivery, and to get faster to the market. Some of these partners include ORACLE, Digital Ocean, TEKTELIC, Huawei, IBM Watson, Telefonica, Bee smart city, Impact Hub Belgrade, etc.
.nanobile is also the awarded startup in categories such as Smart City and Social Impact. We have been awarded as Best Smart City Solution and Best Social Impact Startup in Serbia by CESAwards (2019), Best Smart City Solution in Serbia by World Summit Awards (2019), Leading Innovators in IoT Traffic Solutions by Wealth and Finance (2019) and Leading Innovators in IoT Traffic Solutions by CorporateLiveWire (2020).
COVID-19, what’s been happening in the past months?
The last few months were harsh, but health is the most important aspect before anything else. As the company who didn’t reach the market yet, they can say that this is the first plus for them – they did not lose any revenue. But they did have to change the road map for three months regarding the plans for production and pilot plans. Even though this sounds like a downside, they’ve managed to turn it into a good thing and use the extra time to focus on further development and improvement of the solution.
They have attended many conferences – virtually, which would not be the case if the situation with the coronavirus didn’t happen. Some of these conferences include Wolves Summit, PODIM Conference, Techne Conference in Dubrovnik, and many more events. These events brought them new partners, new project ideas, as well as many exciting talks and meetings.
Even when the situation was difficult, they have managed to turn the tables around and make the most positive things out of it.
Plans for the future
.nanobile’s main goals are to start the first lines of the production and pilot implementations, which would bring the company to the next stage. Of course, they are also focused on the development of new projects in the Smart City industry. Also, as said above, they are currently raising the SEED round of 250.000 EUR for the project development and production. But the most important thing is that they are always open to new partnerships as well as both governmental and business clients.
