When off-the-shelf tools like Grafana stop fitting, we build the visualization layer ourselves - with real-time data, domain workflows, and a permission model that matches your platform tenancy.
Companies worldwide trust WZ-IT
For pure monitoring dashboards we run Grafana ourselves and recommend it regularly. But as soon as your needs go beyond "show me values" - trigger actions directly from the dashboard, customer-specific branding, drill-down into a tenant hierarchy, versioned reports - a custom solution pays off.
Rule of thumb: if you find yourself loading more plugins, iframe wrappers, and workarounds than out-of-the-box UI, it is time for a custom layer.
Data flows smoothly - even with thousands of sensors or sub-second updates. We pick the right streaming technique per source, so your dashboard does not stutter when the plant unloads data.
Data arrives out of order, in bursts, sometimes late. We build pipelines that absorb peaks and lose no values - even when a plant was offline for three days and pushes everything at once.
Multi-year history, fast queries, compact storage. With aggregation strategies so historical data stays accessible without exploding your storage bill.
When Grafana hits its UX limit - domain workflows, drill-down to plant level, branding, embedded actions instead of read-only views. Plus a permission model that matches your tenancy logic.
Recurring email reports, PDF export for audits, CSV drops for Excel analysis. With scheduling, recipient lists, and versioning - so you can prove who saw which numbers when.
IoT gateways, SCADA historians, ERP/CRM systems, classical databases - we pull data where it is generated, with the right industrial or web interface for each source.
Thousands of LoRaWAN or NB-IoT sensors whose data must converge in one platform - with maps, heatmaps, and alarm workflows. Integrated with our IoT hub.
NOC dashboards, production monitoring, OEE tracking. When off-the-shelf tools are too generic and a custom UI delivers more efficiency than yet another Grafana workspace.
Reporting for management - revenue, margins, utilization, customer base - built on your ERP, CRM, and operations data. With configurable drill-downs and export functions.
Integration with existing warehouses (Snowflake, BigQuery, Postgres DWH) as source. We build the visualization and workflow layer on top - faster to iterate than pure BI tools.
A data platform rarely sits isolated - usually there is an IoT pipeline, an operations system, or a member platform alongside. We build them together, not side by side.
Name the data sources, users, and decisions the platform should support.
For pure read-only monitoring dashboards we recommend Grafana - we run it ourselves as a managed service. A custom data platform pays off when end customers access in your own branding, drill-down within a tenant hierarchy is required, actions are triggered from the dashboard, or reports are regulatorily reviewed.
We use a modern web stack (React/Next.js frontend, Node or Go backend) and pick the database and streaming components to match your volume. We define the concrete stack in the workshop - it must fit your volume, your hosting, and your team's skill profile.
In typical industrial and IoT setups we comfortably handle high six- to seven-figure values per second ingest, multi-year history, and sub-second queries. For truly extreme volumes we evaluate specialized storage engines - that architectural decision is made jointly in the workshop.
You pay a fixed price that we determine after an architecture workshop - scoped individually to your feature set, from an MVP dashboard with one data source and standard visualizations to a full build with multi-tenant, reports, alarm workflows, and edge integration. Instead of unpredictable per-user or per-seat license costs, you get predictable one-time project costs with no surprises as you grow.
Yes. Typical sources: ERP (SAP, Odoo), CRM (Salesforce, HubSpot), SCADA historians, ThingsBoard, MQTT brokers, REST APIs, Postgres/MySQL databases, Snowflake/BigQuery. In the workshop we analyse which integration mode (push, pull, CDC) makes sense per source.
Either you (with our documentation and handover training) or we as a managed-operations service with defined SLAs, 24/7 monitoring, and patch management. Both options are defined before project start.
No risk: worst case, you leave with a clearer understanding of your project than before.

“With Timo and Robin, you're not only on the safe side technically - you also get the best human support! Whether it's quick help in everyday life or complex IT solutions: the guys from WZ-IT think along with you, act quickly and speak a language you understand. The collaboration is uncomplicated, reliable and always on an equal footing. That makes IT fun - and above all: it works! Big thank you to the team! (translated)”

The team not only implemented our requirements but also thought along and proactively. Instead of just processing individual tasks, they provided us with well-founded explanations that strengthened our own understanding. WZ-IT took a lot of pressure off us with their structured approach - that was exactly what we needed and is the reason why we keep coming back. (translated)”

“Communication with WZ-IT was open, friendly and professional from the very beginning. Mr. Wevelsiep and Mr. Zins responded to every one of our questions patiently, promptly and respectfully, and contributed their own suggestions and good ideas on how to modernize our server infrastructure and adapt it even better to our needs. Throughout, WZ-IT consistently kept our need for data sovereignty and GDPR compliance in mind. Even short-notice adjustments and change requests from our side were implemented quickly and patiently and integrated consistently into the overall concept. From planning to the final handover, every step was documented transparently and comprehensively - so if a provider change should ever become necessary, the documentation would let us onboard a successor into our infrastructure very quickly. We are extremely satisfied with WZ-IT and hope to continue working together for a long time.”
