Zoho introduces customizable low-code IoT platform

Zoho has announced the launch of Zoho IoT, a user-friendly and scalable low-code platform designed to build and deploy custom IoT solutions.

The new update elevates the concept of connectivity by seamlessly collecting and managing IoT device data in real time, offering businesses intelligent insights and streamlined operational analysis.

According to a statement by the company, the new IoT intuitive features will empower organisations to automate processes and make data-driven decisions effortlessly, without the need for extensive technical expertise.

Zoho IoT offers flexible, pay-as-you-grow pricing plans, starting from NGN80,357 for up to 25 devices and scaling to NGN818,330 for up to 500 devices, with the ability to support thousands of devices and billions of data points.

It fully integrates with Zoho’s existing suite of applications, providing enhanced visibility and control. Its compatibility with third-party hardware allows for quick integration into existing infrastructures, enabling businesses to scale rapidly as they grow. The platform is built with robust security measures, ensuring data privacy and compliance with global standards.

A recent study by Kaspersky found that over 50% of companies have integrated Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) into their systems. Furthermore, 33% are looking to adopt these interconnected technologies in the next two years. Experts advise that business owners should invest in robust cybersecurity solutions to protect their infrastructure.

The new features include advanced AI capabilities that allow business users to develop powerful custom solutions more efficiently. Now, businesses can transform data into actionable insights, predict system outages, identify anomalies or forecast trends, optimise operations, and enhance customer experiences.

“The IoT landscape has long been dominated by developer-centric platforms and industry-specific solutions,” Kehinde Ogundare, Country Head, Zoho Nigeria said about the update.

“Zoho IoT addresses this by offering full customisation and interoperability, making it easier for businesses to adopt and benefit from IoT. The platform goes beyond basic data collection—ensuring every data point is converted into actionable insights that drive organisational connectivity,” he added.
