Like many technology startups, the road to success for NRGMAX was not an easy one: Over two years the construction of a reliable front-end for their Aviexx HVAC Internet of Things (IoT) solution remained elusive. Technical issues hampered the design work and added to the frustrations that drove a series of development resources away from the project. Beyond the technological trials, the executive team faced challenges with personnel, including developers with overstated experience or lacking basic abilities, and with no minimum viable product, the path to revenue became muddled, jeopardizing project fund raising options. Money became tight and solutions remained stubbornly just out of reach.

That’s when Robert “Bob” Tonner, CEO of NRGMAX reached out to his partner OPSgrok. Already retained as the data collection and monitoring service for Aviexx’s groundbreaking technology, the Operations as a Service company pitched in to assist with the engineering challenges faced by the start-up. OPSgrok’s technical team helped to manage the development activities by assuming the lead role in the front-end product design under NRGMAX supervision. Within two months, the Minimum Viable Product was tested and delivered, enabling NRGMAX to successfully enter the marketplace with their new Aviexx products and service.

According to Bob, “OPSgrok saved me time and money at a critical time, and they were instrumental in the launch of our service. They acted as a true partner and showed real commitment to our vision and goals.”
