Case Study: TEXA doubles product orders and scales IoT services with Microsoft Azure

TEXA’s revolutionary IoT solution for vehicle owners helps save time, money, gas and possibly lives

TEXA S.p.A., an Italian manufacturer of vehicle diagnostic tools, faced a challenge scaling its innovative IoT service for drivers and fleet managers. Their initial on-premises and IaaS infrastructure could not handle the rapid growth in orders or guarantee the reliable, prioritized data processing required for its critical emergency-response features. This led them to seek a more robust platform with Microsoft Azure.

The solution was built on the Microsoft Azure PaaS platform, utilizing services like Event Hub, Stream Analytics, and DocumentDB. This new architecture provided the scalable, high-availability foundation TEXA needed, ensuring emergency data was prioritized and processed without error. For Microsoft, the results were significant: TEXA doubled its device production within six months of launch, achieved 100% uptime, and reduced the median cost of its service to less than 24 euro cents per vehicle per month, all while being managed by a team of just four people.
