Case Study: LineMetrics achieves real-time, pay-as-you-go IoT asset monitoring with InfluxData (InfluxDB/InfluxCloud)

LineMetrics - Customer Case Study

LineMetrics is an Austrian startup that built a plug-and-play IoT asset‑monitoring platform to give businesses real‑time sensor insights without large IT budgets or expertise. Facing rapid market demand, they struggled with complex, hard‑to‑maintain data stacks (MySQL, Cassandra/Druid) and needed a time‑series database that could scale, simplify development, and deliver real value quickly.

They adopted InfluxDB/InfluxCloud as the core time‑series store and launched a cloud service plus hardware—LineMetrics Cloud, Box, and Wireless—tied to a mobile app with alerts, drag‑and‑drop configuration, and pay‑as‑you‑go pricing (from €28/month). The solution accelerated development, serves hundreds of customers across multiple countries, powered a major reseller partnership with Conrad Electronics (100,000 smart meters deployed in Europe), and set the company up to add advanced analytics and stream processing with Kapacitor.
