About C-all
C-all is a cloud-native IoT platform developed with AAtechnics to manage thousands of unmanned service stations across Europe. By capturing and processing real-time data from connected devices, it transforms raw sensor input into actionable insights. From predictive maintenance to smart infrastructure, C-all helps service station operators improve efficiency, reduce costs, and create safer, more sustainable facilities.
Challenge: Designing for scale in a fast-growing IoT environment
As C-all expanded from a basic app to a full-scale IoT solution for service station management. The core challenge was: how to build an infrastructure that could scale from 10 to 10 000+ devices without constant reengineering. The platform needed to handle millions of real-time data signals every month and without breaking the bank. Ensuring resilience, scalability and cost control was essential, especially as new features were continuously added and deployments accelerated.
Solution: A resilient, cloud-native architecture on Google Cloud
We designed and implemented a scalable cloud architecture that supports fast growth, high availability and advanced data processing. The solution includes:
- A scalable data ingestion pipeline built using Kubernetes clusters, serverless functions, and a mix of cloud-native databases for flexibility and speed.
- Real-time anomaly detection that raises automated alerts, allowing service station operators to react instantly.
- Custom AI pipelines for predictive maintenance, detecting issues before they impact operations.
- A custom-built web interface that provides a full, up-to-date view of every connected service station.
Every component was built to scale, self-heal and stay cost-efficient.
Result: Smarter maintenance, happier customers and a lighter footprint
With the new cloud-native infrastructure in place, C-all now can:
- Process over 1 billion data points from 4,000+ connected devices
- Handle real-time monitoring and alerting across hundreds of service stations
- Enable predictive repairs, reducing technician response times and improving customer experience
- Support rapid expansion without rework, ready for thousands more stations across Europe
- Reduce the ecological footprint of service stations by addressing issues before they escalate
The platform’s flexibility has proven crucial for scaling fast and smart. According to Tom Van Nevel, CEO of AAtechnics:
“C-all has created enormous value for its customers, and the cloud infrastructure proved to be a stable and solid base for further development.”
