The end of the summer saw Bisly forming yet another incredible partnership — this time with the technical goods wholesale company Onninen AS. The two innovative businesses joined their forces to make modern smart and human-centric lighting available for a wider audience. By combining Bisly’s technology-based lighting automation with Onninen’s Onnline lighting portfolio, the cooperation allows parties to provide a wide variety of automated lighting solutions to customers.
About Onninen AS
Onninen AS is a reputed and well-established wholesale business in the Baltic and Nordic markets, providing a comprehensive selection of HEPAC, electrical, refrigeration, and energy products. With approximately 5b in revenues, Onninen is the largest professional wholesale business in the region.
On top of that, Onninen has acquired extensive knowledge on building and lighting automation that enables them to approach and serve various market segments where energy efficiency is key.
Bisly’s automated lighting solutions
As a technology company specializing in offering comprehensive intelligent building solutions, Bisly has put a lot of focus on developing hardware and software products in the building and lighting automation segment and introducing them to the market. Currently, Bisly’s intelligent lighting solutions have already helped numerous residential, public and office buildings reduce energy consumption by half.
It’s also no secret that light affects our health, well-being, productivity, and ability to concentrate. That’s why Bisly’s solution is based on human-centric lighting, which takes into account the well-being and circadian rhythms of people.
Furthermore, Bisly’s intelligent building automation helps to make buildings more energy-efficient and thus improve the sustainability of the real estate sector. The innovative solution not only increases energy savings by 50% but also significantly improves the living comfort and convenience of residents.
As with any Bisly automation technology, it comes in modular packages to suit the specific needs of each customer. From basic, presence-based lighting control to human centric lighting, Bisly has the answer for everyone. As the technology is luminaire agnostic, customers can choose whichever lights they want to have, and Bisly delivers the controls for them based on their proprietary portfolio. Aftercare and services are supported centrally via Bisly customer support and expands over Estonia through our partners Rapid and Viking Security in case on-site visits are needed. Remote access is made available through Bisly building management system, that seamlessly integrates into new and existing systems and allows for expansion of scope down the line, ensuring the customer has a single interface to deal with.
Doing more together
The cooperation between the parties was ignited by the fact that Onninen saw the opportunity for mass-deployment of lighting automation that could not be fulfilled with solutions on the market. Bisly’s solution was recognised in several projects and tenders as out-performing the current market offering when it came to both speed, affordability, and functionality. Being an innovative and agile company with great technical knowledge and a strong market presence, they reached out to Bisly to discuss cooperation possibilities.
By joining forces, the companies have made the customers’ lives easier, as Onninen has now become a one-stop-shop for finding modern, affordable automation solutions. Both parties benefit from an increased market share as well as a wider portfolio while expanding their cooperation beyond lighting systems and into building automation.
Bisly’s lighting automation technology works with most available luminaires. Given that Onninen has invested greatly in their luminaires portfolio, adding Bisly’s scalable and affordable solution to their offering was a natural step. Though the cooperation agreement was signed only a month ago, the two already have several projects in the works.
What’s to come?
Bisly sees Onninen as a key partner in supporting our end-customers and integrators with the best-in-class products while ensuring localized availability of our automation solutions through Onninen’s extensive distribution network. Onninen now serves as a key supplier for Bisly and our customer, streamlining our operations and creating further synergies.
Partnering with a reputed company like Onninen AS serves as a stamp of quality for Bisly on our journey to mass market deployment and to becoming the number one choice in the building automation market.
