Contactless IoT: 3 Voice Apps You Need to Know About

The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has transformed the way businesses connect with consumers, and vice versa. Now, businesses are increasingly exploring ways to engage customers — with as little physical contact as possible.

At Bluefin Technology Partners, we are proud to provide contactless Internet of Things (IoT) voice applications to businesses. We provide voice apps built using the Amazon Alexa Connect Kit (ACK) that make it simple for businesses and consumers to stay connected without physical contact.  

To date, we have delivered voice apps for businesses in a variety of industries — here's a look at three voice apps that showcase the power of contactless IoT:

1. Real Estate One

Real Estate One, a Michigan real estate agency, chose Bluefin to create an Alexa Skill that would allow home buyers and sellers to search for a home or get a quote on their residence. The Real Estate One Skill allows buyers and sellers to explore the real estate market using their Alexa-enabled devices.

2. Walchem

We worked with Walchem, an electronic controller, sensor, and pump provider, to develop and launch Walchem Fluent™, a cloud-based remote monitoring, control, and reporting system  that helps commercial, industrial, and municipal facilities maintain clean water in their treatment systems. Walchem Fluent™ IoT process automation, remote monitoring and control, and data visualization technologies. It works in combination with Walchem controllers to provide real-time insights into all aspects of water treatment, regardless of an end-user's location.

3. Shady Tree Landscaping

Shady Tree Landscaping, a New England landscaping service company, wanted to build an Alexa Skill that would enable its customers to schedule lawn care and maintenance services. We provided an Alexa Skill that allows Shady Tree's customers to submit service requests via their Alexa-enabled devices.

In addition to the aforementioned apps, we recently partnered with Stack Education to launch the Voice Technology and Coding Bootcamp at Emerson College. With this bootcamp, students can learn the skills necessary to create their own voice apps in months — not years.
