Example: IoT platform & connected device apps for a tourism business in Heraklion
Consider a tourism company in Heraklion (tourism and research). A typical IoT platform & connected device apps engagement would start with mobile app, then device provisioning, and finish the first release with data pipeline — usually within 12–20 weeks.
Payments would run through IRIS, data would be handled under EU GDPR, and success would be measured on direct booking share, occupancy and guest satisfaction.
Example: IoT platform & connected device apps for a tourism business in Patras
Consider a tourism company in Patras (port and universities). A typical IoT platform & connected device apps engagement would start with dashboards, then ota updates, and finish the first release with rules engine — usually within 12–20 weeks.
Payments would run through Cards, data would be handled under EU GDPR, and success would be measured on direct booking share, occupancy and guest satisfaction.

EU GDPR: compliance checklist for a IoT platform & connected device apps
Before launch in Greece, we work through this checklist with your team and advisers:
- Map every personal-data field to a lawful purpose under EU GDPR.
- Decide where data is hosted and whether data about Greece customers must stay in-region.
- Implement consent records plus data-subject access and deletion workflows.
- Encrypt data in transit and at rest; restrict and log administrative access.
- Prepare a breach-notification procedure that meets the timelines that apply in Greece.
- Review contracts and data-processing agreements for every third-party service.
Hosting and data residency for a IoT platform & connected device apps in Greece
For clients in Greece we usually host on Frankfurt, Ireland or another EU region to stay within GDPR transfer rules. The choice balances latency for local users, EU GDPR requirements on where personal data may be stored or transferred, and any sector rules your regulator sets. Backups and disaster-recovery copies follow the same residency decision.
Localising your IoT platform & connected device apps for Greece
