Skiply’s Smilio 

Skiply’s Smilio is a device composed of 3 connected buttons which allow to interact with customers in order to get to know their satisfaction level. In the case of a dissatisfaction or malfunction, an alert can be sent by SMS in order to trigger, for example, the intervention of a technician. Due to its integrated badging system, Smilio is able to send time and date staff intervention proofs. 

This device, which can be customized by changing the number of buttons, colors, and many other features, has up to 6 years battery life, and is also designed to be robust, allowing indoor or outdoor installation. Its dual mode allows Sigfox or LoRaWAN® wireless technology, 

Skiply’s Cancellation Button 

The Skiply Cancellation Button, is a device designed as a spin off from their Smilio Button device. This product is composed of 2 connected buttons which allow to trigger an action, cancel it if necessary, and is capable of time-and-date stamping staff interventions due to its integrated badging device. 

Its design and features allow its integration in a wide range of use cases like the collection of customer’s feedback on the spot, evaluating clients-employees satisfaction alerts and reports, triggering of any type of actions, and clocking after intervention and proof of presence. 

Ubioq Key, Skiply’s Dinamic QR Button 

The Ubioq Key technology, patented by Skiply, opens a new world of possibilities to QR codes by adding a proof of presence when the code is scanned, without changing users’ behaviors. 

This product offers a unique code, automatically generated at regular intervals (up to 1/minute) on an incredibly thin e-paper screen. The Skiply server ensures that the code is valid, when the code is flashed. In the case of someone copying a code displayed by a Ubioq Key, trying to reuse it, the system will detect it as invalid. 

The applications for this product are numerous. The Ubioq Key solution allows timekeeping of seconded staff, access to information according to location, machine maintenance follow-ups, and follow-up of multi-stakeholder care and services for the elderly or Hospital-At-Home patients. 

 

Powering devices through LoRaWAN® 

Skiply has created different devices offering high-performing and innovative solutions to bring companies closer to their customers. 

This achievement has been possible through IoT technology such as LoRaWAN®is a low power wireless protocol for wide area networks. With LoRaWAN®, devices can communicate with IoT applications over long-range wireless connections. It also allows for devices’ batteries to last longer, therefore significantly lowering the Total Cost of Ownership.  

Due to this, Skiply can focus on the creation of solutions for smart agriculture, supply chain, smart building, smart cities, and many other verticals by digitalizing projects and making them easy-to-use and efficient.
