INTRODUCING

BeaconControl

Beacons and the IoT are ready to go through the roof and mobile context will be king.

According to BI Intelligence, beacon installations will see triple-digit growth rates over the next few years, accumulating to over 4.5 million active beacons in the US by 2018. It’s the fastest-growing technology since mobile credit card readers.

TODAY

Engaging with the opportunity of the Internet of Things is a must for any

corporation to stay competitive in the future.

Unleash your potentialBeaconControl is a fully tested product - we have used it in our

own exciting projects, like the technology enabled workspace at The Factory. BeaconControl has enabled us to create a scalable and easily expandable product.

There is no limit to what you can do with BeaconControl.

BeaconControl turned the Factory into a smart office and by adding hands-free check-in payments, access control, contextual content delivery, indoor navigation and much more. Further a network of entrepreneurs and innovators was empowered through API’s to build personalised mobile interactions within their workspace, events and day-to-day activities.

The seamless booking and payment of co-working space, availability checks of conference rooms or just finding your buddy – it all became possible with BeaconControl and the FactoryApp.

Why it was a pain to create proximity solutions before BeaconControl?

High cost of testing ideas

Presenting and testing beacon ideas requires advanced technical skills and extensive engagement of your development team.

! Fixed features

The license of closed source software limits the freedom of your innovations. Lack of flexibility and adaptability makes it harder to verify your concept or bring your idea to life.

You don’t know what you get

The available freemium models of SaaS solutions offer only selected features for free. Paid solutions require payment before testing - it’s like buying a pig in a poke.

Future risk

Closed source platforms limit your projects to the provider’s decisions and skills and can create unexpected risk and future compatibility issues.

We’ve been there too. We’ve been stuck with the same issues.

That’s why we’ve created a solution which solves these problems and pushes this exciting

technology forward.

Future-proof and secured

Significantly decreases costs of development

BeaconControl allows you to test ideas before coding begins. And thanks to the free and customisable iOS and Android SDK’s your applications can be enabled fast.

Scalable, open to changes, community supported

It’s beacon hardware agnostic, iBeacon and Eddystone protocol ready. It’s open source and you can customise it to your requirements.

Free and easily accessible

It’s free, open source and easy-to-use. Tools like the BeaconControl Admin Panel and the BeaconControl iOS App allow you to set up, manage and test beacons even without advanced technical skills.

BeaconControl is developed by the Upnext core team, which is constantly adding new features and improvements. But it’s not just us, we’ve made BeaconControl open source, so that the worldwide community can develop and contribute new and brilliant ideas!

How BeaconControl works

No technical skills needed. Use the BeaconControl Admin Panel or Mobile App. Identify your beacons, name them and then conveniently locate them with the map feature. Easily add test notifications to validate your beacon setup immediately with the automatically connected Mobile App.

Set up your beacons in seconds

Define beacon actions and self-test them on the Mobile App. Choose from a variety of customisable actions – notifications, coupons, web requests, url-actions, user presence analytics and more – add a trigger and test your idea. All without writing a single line of code.

Customize beacon behaviors

Once you’ve tested your beacon ideas you can use the BeaconControl SDKs to enable your own mobile applications, develop new actions and extensions, contribute to the BeaconControl community on GitHub and deploy your own custom solution to heroku. Creating your own independent projects is a snap.
