About The Customer
Tiro Partners is a niche IT consultancy firm based in London, co-founded by Paul Conaghan and William Excell. With over 25 years of IT recruitment experience, the firm competes with major players in the recruitment field, specialising in project and product management, business analysis, architecture, development, and testing across various sectors including media, retail, and finance. The firm prides itself on its strong person-to-person candidate-client relationships and exceptional customer experience. Tiro Partners is not a corporate entity and does not aspire to be one, which has helped it to thrive in a competitive market.
The Challenge
Tiro Partners, a niche IT consultancy firm, was struggling with an outdated tool that was lacking in both visual appeal and functionality. The firm was experiencing poor internal communication due to consultants using disconnected systems for communication and candidate search, or not entering data at all. This situation was hindering the firm's ability to uphold its restorative and customer service-focused ethos. The firm's co-founders, Paul Conaghan and William Excell, were seeking a solution that would not only improve internal operations but also align with their principles of strong candidate-client relationships and exceptional customer experience.
The Solution
Tiro Partners chose to partner with Bullhorn, a customer-focused software provider. Bullhorn’s CRM was selected for its 100% cloud-based structure, ease of use, and flexibility in terms of individual consultant customisability. The CRM's automatic capture of client and candidate interactions perfectly coordinated with Tiro Partners' principles. The system's searching capabilities, email functionalities, and seamless ability to add new licenses with extensive online training were also key factors in the decision. The co-founders saw Bullhorn’s true cloud solution as the ideal platform to grow their business and build the foundations of their company.

Turning A Stadium Into A Smart Building
Honeywell created what it called the “intelligent system” for the National Stadium in Beijing, China, turning the venue for the opening and closing events at the 2008 Summer Olympics into a “smart building.” Designed by highly controversial artist Ai Weiwei, the “Bird’s Nest” remains one of the most impressive feats of stadium architecture in the world. The 250,000 square meter structure housed more than 100,000 athletes and spectators at a time. To accommodate such capacity, China turned to Honeywell’s EBI Integrated Building Management System to create an integrated “intelligent system” for improved building security, safety and energy efficiency.

Buoy Status Monitoring with LoRa
The Netherlands are well-known for their inland waterways, canals, sluices and of course port activities. The Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure indicates that there are thousands of buoys and fixed items in and near water environments that would profit from IoT monitoring. One of the problems with buoys for example, is that they get hit by ships and the anchor cable breaks. Without connectivity, it takes quite some time to find out that something has happened with that buoy. Not to mention the costs of renting a boat to go to the buoy to fix it. Another important issue, is that there is no real-time monitoring of the buoys at this moment. Only by physically visiting the object on the water, one gains insight in its status.

China Mobile Smart Parking
Smart Parking, powered by NB-IoT technology, is making it easier for drivers to find free parking spots. Cities can better manage their parking assets and maximize the revenue available to them as a result. Drivers searching for parking create congestion and pollution by circling and hunting for available parking. Smart Parking services are able to significantly ease these problems by guiding a driver directly to a parking space.
