Case Study: Uponor achieves scalable, on-time smart heating control for 10,000 homes with Coherent Solutions

Smooth Operation Uponor utilizes Coherent to realize its innovation

Uponor, the billion‑dollar Finnish manufacturer of under‑floor heating with a North American division, needed a web‑based Climate Control Network (CCN) so homeowners could adjust heating remotely. Their proof‑of‑concept proved popular but depended on inflexible third‑party technology that limited capacity to a few hundred controls; facing a nine‑month release window and a tight budget, they engaged Coherent Solutions as a global delivery partner.

Coherent Solutions used a two‑phase, iterative approach—five weeks of requirements and architecture work followed by full development—recommending ASP.NET MVC, Microsoft AppFabric Distributed Caching and SQL Server 2008, and completed the project on time and under budget. The new CCN supports up to 10,000 homes (scalable for expansion into Europe and Asia), benefited from low team turnover, and Coherent Solutions continues to provide support and work on mobile and other enhancements.
