Case Study: Rentokil Initial achieves rapid global IoT growth with Apigee

Safer food and pharmaceuticals using IoT

Rentokil Initial needed a scalable way to grow its connected pest control and hygiene services, but its on-premises platform could not handle the volume of streaming device data required to support rapid expansion. To solve this, Rentokil Initial partnered with Apigee to modernize its IoT-backed services, including remote monitoring for rodent traps and sensor-driven washroom analytics.

Apigee implemented a cloud-based solution built on Google Cloud Platform tools that enabled secure, high-volume data ingestion, processing, and analytics in near real time. The result was delivered in just 12 weeks and helped Rentokil Initial double connected customer dashboards, increase devices by 33%, expand into two more countries, and launch Connected services in 12 countries, while also improving customer service through better data insights.
