Thoughtworks supports companies looking to exploit the opportunities emerging in the hyper-connected world. We help to design, build and run intelligent systems. We enable our clients to create new products, improve existing services, boost revenue and streamline processes.
The key challenge to thrive in this new world is to understand how to apply modern software development approaches to ecosystems with physical devices — to bridge the gap between hardware and software.
Our experience in implementing intelligent systems include connected vehicles, smart home devices, smart meter and charging stations can help you plot a route to success.
Three steps towards IoT
Connectivity
Using mobile networks, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and the like, thousands of low-cost sensors give you unparalleled insight into what’s happening in your operations.
Intelligence
Smart ecosystems will be awash with data — but it’s only those enterprises that can get actionable intelligence from their connected devices that will thrive.
Autonomy
Connected system allow you to automate your responses to alerts and changing conditions. This enables you to continuously optimize your business-critical processes.
Energy provision from a new perspective and using digital services
Fresh Energy is Germany’s first smart electricity supplier. Its offers green electricity, which customers can track through an innovative smart meter and phone app. This gives them complete control over their electricity consumption.

Success stories
Innit - Bringing the future of food to life
Innit uses technology to make home cooking easier and healthier. It has developed the world's first Connected Food Platform. Innit’s centralized hub integrates a disjointed food system by focusing on the way individuals want to eat. With its partnership with Thoughtworks, it delivered a proof of concept and are a great example of reinvented and connected products in a traditional industry like the food industry.
Silent Herdsman - Taking the guess work out of milk production
We partnered with Silent Herdsman to develop an IoT powered, neck-mounted cow monitoring system that helps producers accurately predict their milk production for each year. The collars contain a wireless sensor which transmits data about the cow’s health and the amount of milk they are producing back to a base station in the farm. The data helps farmers identify any sick cows as early as possible, helping to maximize the amount of milk being produced.
