NetvirE IIoT Platform for Wildlife Conservation

In the heart of wildlife conservation, where the delicate balance of ecosystems meets the challenge of human intervention, Perdix Wildlife Supplies found themselves at a pivotal crossroads. Acknowledging the imperative for a technological upgrade, they forged a strategic partnership with ThinkPalm to embark on a transformative journey. The Partnership aimed to tackle challenges in habitat management and restoration, with a dedicated focus on safeguarding endangered species and reserves through initiatives encompassing research, anti-poaching measures, international collaboration, education and outreach. The partnership further aimed at ex-situ efforts that include captive breeding, managing seed banks, enabling smart zoo practices, and efficient management of sanctuaries and rescue centers. 

The Business Challenge 

Perdix is a renowned UK-based company that supplies high-quality field equipment and related products to wildlife professionals worldwide. Its primary focus is empowering land managers to get the maximum out of their wildlife projects. However, Perdix faces the formidable challenge of remotely monitoring a wide range of field-based activities crucial to wildlife conservation. The company identified a crucial need for a cloud-based solution that is not only flexible, secure, and cost-effective but also user-friendly. Recognizing this as a paramount challenge in their mission to enhance the efficiency of wildlife project management, they strategically collaborated with ThinkPalm to address this need.
