Azure IoT consulting for
products that live in the field.
When the product is physical — sensors, equipment, fleets — Skilak builds the platform behind it: secure device connectivity on Azure IoT Hub and IoT Edge, real-time dashboards, alerting, and the automation that turns raw telemetry into decisions.
Built by engineers with production IoT platform experience — device provisioning through executive dashboard — for manufacturers, equipment operators, and connected-product companies.
What we build on Azure IoT
Device connectivity & provisioning
Secure onboarding for sensors, equipment, and gateways on Azure IoT Hub — device identities, certificate rotation, and MQTT, REST, or WebSocket transport chosen per constraint.
Real-time dashboards
Live operational views of your fleet, sites, or equipment — status, trends, and history — built as fast web dashboards your team actually opens each morning.
Alerting & automation
Threshold, anomaly, and no-signal alerting routed to the right person by SMS, email, or Teams — plus automations that act on telemetry instead of just charting it.
Edge computing
Azure IoT Edge workloads for sites with unreliable connectivity — local decisions at the machine, synchronized to the cloud when the link returns.
Fleet & asset tracking
Location, utilization, and condition tracking for vehicles, trailers, and field equipment — including integration with existing telematics hardware.
Telemetry data engineering
Ingestion pipelines, time-series storage, and downsampling that keep years of sensor history queryable without runaway cloud bills.
Why we standardize on Azure IoT
Azure IoT Hub and IoT Edge give small and mid-sized fleets enterprise-grade device security, provisioning, and message routing without building it from scratch — and our team holds Microsoft Azure certification (AZ-104), so your platform follows the reference architectures Microsoft actually supports.
The platform lands in your Azure subscription, defined in Terraform, documented, and owned by you — with Skilak as a long-term partner, not a dependency.
Frequently asked questions
What does an Azure IoT consultant do?
An Azure IoT consultant designs and builds the cloud side of a connected product: device provisioning and security on IoT Hub, telemetry ingestion, dashboards, alerting, and integration with your business systems. We deliver the full platform — from device connection strings to the dashboard your operations team uses.
We have devices but no platform — can you build just the software?
Yes, that's our typical engagement. Your hardware or telematics vendor handles the physical devices; we build the platform behind them — connectivity, storage, dashboards, alerts, and APIs — on your own Azure subscription, which you own outright.
How much does IoT platform development cost?
A first production platform — device connectivity, a real-time dashboard, and alerting for one device type — typically runs $30,000–$80,000. We quote fixed budgets after a free consultation, and design the Azure architecture so monthly cloud costs stay proportional to your fleet size.
Can IoT data feed AI and reporting?
Yes — telemetry is most valuable once it drives decisions. We build automated reporting, anomaly detection, and AI assistants that answer questions over your operational data, including fully on-premises options via our private AI deployment service when data can't leave your network.
