Case Study: Schneider Electric achieves faster energy management product innovation with Kinvey

Driving Energy Management Product Innovation

Schneider Electric, a global energy management leader with 50 product lines and operations in 100+ countries, needed to accelerate product innovation by leveraging mobile, web and IoT. Senior leaders wanted to build commercial and consumer apps to create new revenue streams, reduce costs, improve customer satisfaction and deliver a consistent global user experience while shortening time-to-market.

The CTO implemented a mobile innovation platform with Kinvey at its core, deploying dedicated instances across regions and providing Schneider-specific SDKs, prebuilt backend integrations and a hybrid development toolbox (Bootstrap, AngularJS, Cordova, Kinvey) plus an integrated toolchain. This approach enabled 4,000 developers to rapidly build B2B, B2C and B2E apps, cut development complexity and costs, ensure brand-consistent UX, eliminate separate native builds and accelerate time-to-market, while fostering adoption through internal communities and hackathons.
