B3 Developed the Digital Customer Platform for Epiroc
B3 Developed the Digital Customer Platform for Epiroc With My Epiroc, customers can monitor the status of their machines in real time. How can customers gain a complete overview of their fleet, schedule service and maintenance more efficiently, and improve operational safety? These were the key questions behind Epiroc's ambition to develop a new digital efficiency solution. The result was My Epiroc – a digital platform for the mining and infrastructure industries that brings all machines together in a single interface, allowing customers to monitor machine status in real time. B3 partnered with Epiroc throughout the entire journey, from developing the first minimum viable product (MVP) through to production and many years of continuous platform development. "With B3, we found exactly what we needed to accelerate Epiroc's digital transformation, not only in terms of technical expertise but also through a clear, solution-oriented mindset that consistently moved our initiatives forward.Their ability to understand our challenges, anticipate needs, and respond with high-quality, practical outcomes has made a substantial difference in the success of our projects. B3 has proven to be a true partner – deeply engaged, proactive, and committed. B3 delivers solutions, not just developers."

B3 supported CTEK in developing innovative charging boxes
B3 supported CTEK in developing innovative charging boxes The demand for charging boxes has increased significantly in recent years, while the requirements for functionality and user-friendliness have also grown. CTEK is a world-leading company in battery charging solutions that has made major investments in research, development, and delivery of various EV-related charging solutions in recent years. B3 contributed specialist expertise in embedded development and supported CTEK in several areas, including system development, project management, and test automation. The need for powerful and easily accessible charging solutions increases as the number of electric cars increases. Today, modern charging boxes can communicate with the user through smartphone apps and web interfaces, which enables scheduled charging sessions, control of power consumption, load balancing, remote support and much more. CTEK develops innovative battery management solutions and has a wide range adapted to different needs worldwide. B3 supported CTEK by developing the software for the company's charging boxes. The focus was on data security, storage and networking solutions, as well as test automation. The work was carried out according to the SAFe framework and was primarily conducted remotely by an agile team consisting of software engineers with diverse backgrounds in embedded development. We are very satisfied with the team from B3 who help us with key expertise in several deliveries. HENRIK PATZER, CTO CTEK "We had a great collaboration with CTEK, and our consultants truly appreciated the opportunity to work with both the company and its products. It was a cross-functional project where strong communication, transparency, and trust were key success factors. It was also highly rewarding to contribute to the development of a sustainable solution with safety and innovation at its core," says B3 Commit , the B3 company that delivered the project.

Sustainable and effective operating environment for Almi
Sustainable and effective operating environment for Almi In March 2020 B3 was entrusted with the responsibility for Almi's entire IT environment and since then a close working relationship has developed in several areas. In 2022 migration to a private cloud in Azure was completed, which has brought a number of advantages. Above all, Almi has gained a more effective, sustainable and secure operating environment. Almi offers financing, business development and risk capital to give small and medium-sized enterprises in Sweden the opportunity to grow and develop. As a creditor Almi needs an effective operating environment to ensure secure handling of commercial credit. Almi also has a major focus on sustainability, and by using the world’s most modern data centre halls in Sweden the company can reduce its climate footprint. In 2022, under B3’s project leadership, Almi migrated to a private cloud in Sweden to utilise the flexibility of Microsoft’s cloud services without relinquishing control of the operating environment. The ability to scale up or down depending on operational needs and business requirements was an important parameter that led to the move. The flexible environment also facilitates changes and tests. A team from B3 has supported Almi on its journey and in the work of using the right technology securely. The move started in the midst of the pandemic, so most of the work had to be directed remotely. With automatation and IaC (Infrastructure as Code) the focus was directed at creating value and opportunities together. We have a very good working relationship with Almi, which is informed by attentiveness and transparency. At an early stage the focus moved from a client/supplier relationship to a single team committed to securing Almi’s capacity to deliver a world-class service. At the start of a project there are always gaps in information, but by working in an agile and close-knit team we have come through challenges along the way. ENTERPRISE ARCHITECT AT B3 CLOUD The gains from the move to a private cloud have been numerous. Above all, Almi has gained a more effective and sustainable IT environment, with full control of security. The option of up and down scaling as needed makes it possible to pay only for the capacity needed, providing major efficiency gains. And the ability to minimise the amount of energy also creates sustainability gains, which are reinforced through Almi’s use of the world’s most modern data centre halls in Sweden. Almi now has a modern operating environment to continue to contribute to sustainable growth in Sweden. Please contact me for more information. Ola Löwing ola.lowing@b3.se 0768-66 05 70
