Industrial Advisory

Most RTLS
deployments
fail to scale.
We fix that.

SwissSensus is a Swiss advisory firm helping industrial companies turn sensing, tracking, and digitalization into measurable operational results.

The problem

Industrial companies buy
technology.
Few extract value from it.

RTLS, IIoT, and spatial intelligence platforms are bought — and then underused, misconfigured, or abandoned after the PoC.

The gap is not the technology. It's the absence of someone who understands the plant floor, the technology stack, and the business case — simultaneously.

That is what SwissSensus provides.

What we do

Same expertise.
Two different problems.

Technology Vendor
You build & sell RTLS / IIoT
Your challenge is commercial — GTM, roadmap, pricing, and reaching industrial buyers
Industrial Customer
You deploy & operate at scale
Your challenge is operational — deployment, integration, and extracting measurable ROI
Strategy
Product-market fit
Right problem, right buyer, right price point
Technology & platform selection
Independent assessment before capital commitment
Competitive positioning
Messaging for industrial buyers, not IT directors
Business case design
ROI model structured for CFO and operations approval
Product Management & Roadmap
Roadmap prioritisation
Features that drive revenue, not engineering preference
Build vs. partner vs. buy decisions
Platform and ecosystem strategy grounded in market reality
Deployment architecture
Infrastructure, integration, and phased rollout design
PoC-to-production bridge
Unblock stalled pilots — organisational, technical, or commercial
GTM & Execution
Industrial GTM design
Sales motion built for plant-floor buyers, not SaaS playbooks
Pricing & packaging strategy
Commercial models that fit industrial budget cycles
ERP / MES integration alignment
Connect sensing systems to existing operational technology
KPI & measurement design
Operational metrics that mean the same thing to the floor and the board
Shared across both
RTLS & sensing strategy
Technology fit, architecture, and sensing approach
Spatial intelligence design
Turning location data into operational decisions
Engagement model
Sprint or Embedded
4–8 week sprints with fixed deliverables, or fractional CPO / VP GTM during critical growth phases
Diagnostic or Project
2–3 week deployment diagnostic to unblock a stalled project, or full advisory from selection through go-live
Sense the Difference.
Business outcomes

What this produces
in practice.

–30%
Reduction in asset search time after RTLS deployment
Faster commercial decision on platform selection

Who is behind this

"Industrial transformation is not a software problem. It is an execution problem. I have spent 15 years in the gap between the two."

Roland Avar has built, deployed, and scaled industrial technology across European and international markets. He has worked inside industrial companies, advised technology vendors, and led go-to-market for complex B2B solutions.

SwissSensus is not a theoretical advisory firm. The work is grounded in real operator experience — from warehouse floors to boardroom decisions.

  • 15+ years spanning industrial operations, technology, and commercial execution
  • Deep expertise in RTLS, IIoT, spatial intelligence systems
  • GTM leadership for industrial technology vendors in global markets from North America, across Europe to APAC
  • Advisory rooted in technical and commercial precision — not frameworks
How we work

A structured engagement.
No retainers without outcomes.

01
Diagnose
Understand your current state, constraints, and what is actually blocking progress. No assumptions.
02
Define
A clear problem statement. Measurable objectives. Agreed scope. This protects you and us.
03
Execute
Advisory with hands-on involvement. Strategy documents nobody implements are not the deliverable.
04
Validate
Measure against the outcomes defined at the start. If it's not working, we say so directly.
05
Transfer
The goal is your independence — not a dependency on us. We build capability, not reliance.
Where we work

Concrete situations,
not case study abstractions.

Forklift fleet tracking & utilisationReduce idle time, prove ROI, prepare for AGV integration
Warehouse visibility & flow intelligenceReal-time inventory location, throughput bottleneck identification
AGV / AMR coordination strategyTraffic management architecture, mixed-fleet integration planning
GTM redesign for RTLS platform vendorRepositioned from IT-led to operations-led; shortened sales cycle from 18 to 8 months
Product roadmap prioritisation3 features driving 80% of purchase decisions identified; 9 others deprioritised
PoC to production — scaling sensing deploymentsFrom pilot success to organisation-wide rollout with measurable KPIs

Let's talk.
No pitch deck required.

One conversation to understand whether this engagement makes sense. If it doesn't, we say so.
