Building Scalable IoT Solutions with Mapify and Kyndryl

When it comes to building faster, smarter, and more responsive digital systems, you need more than just the right technology. You need the right partners.

Over the past year, Kyndryl, one of the world’s leading IT infrastructure services providers, has been developing IoT solutions with the help of Mapify. From city-wide deployments to industry-specific applications, this collaboration is centered on a shared mission: transforming data complexity into operational clarity. 

‍Mapify IoT acts as the data intake and real-time data processing engine, with configurable workflows, business rules, and integration with analytical modules and dashboards. In the case of Smart Cities, these capabilities address the technical requirements for data integration, visualization, and real-time monitoring as defined by the National Strategy for Intelligent Territories (ENTI), promoting the development of more sustainable, resilient, and data-informed urban ecosystems.  

Building IoT Solutions that Scale

Much of this work is being driven from Kyndryl’s delivery center in Portalegre, set up in partnership with the Polytechnic Institute of Portalegre. The center is home to a growing team of engineers and developers specializing in IoT, automation, and cybersecurity.

From this strategic hub, the team is supporting projects that span multiple industries across Portugal and beyond. These include smart city deployments, public sector digitization, industrial monitoring, infrastructure diagnostics.

What sets this collaboration apart is its focus on real-world impact. The combined approach of Kyndryl’s engineering capacity with Mapify’s no-code flexibility allows for quick rollouts and highly adaptable solutions.

As Nuno Correia, Network & Edge Sales Leader at Kyndryl in Portugal, put it: “Over the last year, Kyndryl has been developing technology under the Focus BC platform (“Mapify”) and what we like to emphasize is the speed of development from idea to final product.”

What We’re Building Together

1. Unified Data Integration

IoT projects often involve collecting data from a wide range of sources: internal systems, devices, cloud platforms, and external partners. Mapify enables Kyndryl to bring all of this data together into a single, unified platform. Whether it’s telemetry from sensors, operational data from business systems, or external datasets, everything is integrated and contextualized for real-time visibility and faster decision-making.

2. Automated Workflows and Notifications

Mapify’s drag-and-drop workflows are used to set up automated responses and real-time alert systems. Whether it’s detecting abnormal sensor values or correlating multiple data layers to trigger business actions, everything happens in real-time.

3. Real-Time Business Applications

Organizations get a 360-degree, real-time view of their territories and assets. These apps aren’t just dashboards, they’re decision-making tools. Teams can monitor, respond, and optimize operations directly from their browser.

4. Infrastructure-Free, Scalable Rollouts

Using Mapify, Kyndryl can deploy proof-of-concepts in a matter of days and scale nationwide. There’s no need to delay for sensor installations or for backend systems to be fully configured. Development can begin immediately. Teams can build a functional MVP, simulate real-world data, and validate their solution before a single device is connected. This approach is especially valuable for clients with limited IT resources or tight project timelines, allowing them to move fast, reduce risk, and scale with confidence.

5. Fully Customizable Web Applications

With Mapify, Kyndryl clients can create tailored applications that adapt to evolving needs, no coding required. Applications can be built directly from the Mapify console, giving teams the ability to launch and manage tools quickly. For those who need deeper customization, Mapify also provides access to its API and SDK to develop fully customized solutions that integrate seamlessly with existing systems. Whether it’s a simple interface or a complex, business-specific tool, the flexibility is built in.

A Shared Vision for Smarter Solutions

This partnership is about more than deploying new technologies. It’s about empowering teams to build solutions that evolve with their business goals. By combining Mapify’s no-code platform with Kyndryl’s delivery expertise, we are accelerating the adoption of IoT across sectors. Together, we’re helping organizations turn real-time data into clear insights and better outcomes.
