What Evalan does

Evalan B.V. is a privately held Amsterdam-based IoT solutions provider with 15+ years of operating experience. The company delivers end-to-end IoT services spanning custom solution development, hardware gateways, and a cloud platform, serving enterprise and government clients across seven vertical segments: Industry 4.0, Agriculture & Livestock, Energy & Water, Food & Beverage, Logistics, Government, and Healthcare. Named customers include the Dutch Ministry of Defense, AstraZeneca, Heineken, Vitens (the largest Dutch water utility), and ADNOC, with deployments ranging from military readiness wearables to water pipeline leak detection and onshore power supply monitoring.

The company's core technology is the BACE (Build A Connection Everywhere) IoT Platform, which pairs BACE Gateway hardware with BACE Cloud to provide bi-directional communication between field devices and cloud applications. The platform supports multiple industrial and consumer protocols — Modbus, CAN bus, Pulse Counter, P1 (Dutch smart meter standard), Z-Wave, and LTE-M/2G cellular — and exposes collected sensor data via API or webhook. On top of this platform, Evalan offers a portfolio of packaged products: WattMaestro (energy management system for SMEs), ARMOR (heat stress monitoring wearable powered by a patented core-body-temperature estimation algorithm), Sensemedic (medication adherence monitoring), Disdro (connected rain sensor), and Smart Eagle (quality inspection). Customized IoT solutions remain a core service line.

Evalan operates a direct enterprise sales motion with pricing on application. Revenue mechanics are a mix of packaged product sales and project-based custom solution work, supplemented by whitepapers, case studies, and direct outreach through its website and social channels. The company claims presence in over 50 countries but maintains its headquarters in Amsterdam and discloses no international offices or follow-on institutional funding beyond a 2012 EIT Digital Accelerator engagement, indicating a bootstrapped operating model.
