Monetize IoT Usage and Make Hardware Work

Complex Connections Made Simple™

The explosion of IoT devices and data opens up a world of possibilities to hardware manufacturers and cloud service providers. Each device and each feature can be tracked in Poetic as an entitlement that can be monitored, measured and turned off and on.

Offer New Models

Once you have the ability to monitor customer usage of your products, you can offer them a pay-as-you-use option, opening up new opportunities for more customers to use your products at lower price points.

How Poetic Works with IOT
  1. You embed usage reporting hooks into your cloud-based software. (Contact us if you need help identifying a vendor for your technical licensing needs.)
  2. Your customers sign up to access your application either in the cloud or on premise and provides credit card information for future billing.
  3. Your order system sends a message to Poetic creating an entitlement there.
  4. When your software runs, it checks with Poetic to make sure the user still has a valid entitlement to run the software.
  5. While your customers use your software, your software reports the usage back to Poetic.
  6. On a schduled basis, Poetic reviews the usage for each customer and sends usage billing information to your order system.
  7. Your order system charges the customer’s card and sends her an invoice.
