Aaltra BV
About us
Aaltra, founded in 2007, is a software agency specialized in the development of custom IoT (Internet of Things) solutions with a strong focus on intuitive user experience or UX (User Experience), for optimal return on investment for the client. Where many software agencies focus on just one of these domains, Aaltra offers integrated solutions that connect users with smart physical devices and systems such as sensors, household appliances, and connected infrastructure. Aaltra always starts from a pragmatic approach with a positive business case whereby the IoT application is integrated into the client's business strategy.
In this way, Aaltra aims to support companies in bringing digital, user-friendly solutions to market that provide strategic insights. At the same time, it also focuses on companies that want to improve or change their own operations with smart IoT solutions. Through the specific focus on design in combination with merging IoT software and intuitive UX, Aaltra offers its clients solutions that are both technically robust and user-friendly.
Aaltra strives to improve the lives of people, whether consumers or installers, through smart devices and applications. The company wants to further deepen its expertise as a niche player in IoT software and aims to grow into the leading technology partner for IoT in Europe, with an Aaltra-developed solution in every European household. Currently, Aaltra, based in Melle, has about 30 employees and serves customers such as Daikin, Engie, Novy, Ontracx, Specter, Smappee...

Case Specter: The connected bike experience.
Specter is an ambitious Belgian startup creating the most advanced s-pedelec ever. Aaltra operates as their technological partner, giving Specter the necessary input for the perfect start. The bike quickly became a connected experience that seamlessly blends with our daily routines, thanks to our work. We never compromised on quality and features while laying the technical foundations for the future. The result: - Helped define the budget for funding - MVP in under 12 months
Case Atlas Copco: Transforming asset management through IoT.
We developed the mobile app for SMARTLINK, an IoT-powered mobile solution that gives users complete data-driven insights into their compressed air installation on the go. The project resulted in a fully functional application built from scratch in less than one year. This IIoT-powered solution delivered significant benefits to Atlas Copco and their customers.
Case Sumura: From startup vision to market reality.
Sumura, an Antwerp-based startup founded in 2023, approached us with a vision to revolutionize urban e-bike charging and security. As young families increasingly replace cars with e-bikes for daily transportation, the need for secure, convenient charging solutions was becoming urgent. Transforming an innovative concept into a market-ready product that could attract both investors and customers, while operating within typical startup constraints of limited resources and tight timelines. The iterative development approach delivered measurable outcomes: - Rapid Market Entry: From initial concept to App Store launch in under 3 months - Investor Confidence: Successfully secured pre-seed funding - Customer Adoption: Dozens of active customers across Antwerp and Ghent spanning B2C and B2B markets - Scalable Foundation: Platform architecture ready for planned European expansion by 2026
Case Daikin: The pocket-sized installer toolkit.
The work of installers involves several steps. Together with Daikin, we explored what digital tools we could develop to best support installers. Our solutions focus on three aspects of the customer journey: pre-sales, installation and after-sales.
Aaltra - About us
Most connected products fail. Not because of technology, but because people never truly adopt them. (see link for more info) We develop your bridge between hardware and the digital world. As an European human-centered IoT studio, we design and build custom applications, cloud platforms, and IoT solutions that seamlessly connect with your devices. With 18 years of experience and a team of 30 experts, we help you transform complex technology into intuitive, human-centered products: whether you're creating smart consumer devices or industrial systems.
Aaltra - How we can help!
The perfect IoT solution emerges at the intersection of three fundamental pillars. Without business relevance, technology becomes just a shiny gadget. Without design thinking, solutions remain complex and unused. True innovation happens when all three work in harmony.
