Quantify Technology hopes the program will help the company to capitalise on the US smart home market, worth $28b, in 2020.
A home automation solution by ASX-listed Quantify Technology (ASX:QFY) has been recognised by the Austrade Landing Pad Program, which focuses on introducing Australian scale-ups to the U.S. market.
As a result, Quantify Technology’s simple, modern and future-proof home automation solution is due to hit the United States in September 2019.
Quantify Technology develops adaptable products that transform traditionally wired houses into smart homes, using a flexible wall switch connected to the WiFi. The cloud configured system allows all devices within a home to be controlled via touch, app or voice, with Amazon Alexa integration.
For Quantify, being selected for the Austrade Landing Pad Program is all part of their plan to capitalise on the $28b U.S. smart home market in 2020.
Brett Savill, Quantify’s Chief Executive Officer, commented that the ninety-day program will give Quantify the opportunity to benefit from Austrade’s extensive global network of contacts to accelerate its expansion.
“Being close to Silicon Valley and Seattle, the Landing Pad Program provides easy access to major technology companies, as well as potential partners in the building automation space. Our aim is to use this Program to develop a short list partners to work with for entry into the US in 2020,” Brett said.
The company, originating from Perth, is partnered with award-winning designer Natalee Bowen, director and creative brain behind Australian interior design business, Indah Island. Natalee is known for her timeless, classic Hamptons style and has previously worked alongside top New York architects.
Natalee said Quantify’s products suit any interior design style and should be well-positioned in the U.S. market.
“Quantify’s devices are stylish, sophisticated and effortlessly simple. They have been designed to meet different aesthetics of interior design, which not only makes it easy for me to seamlessly integrate their products into my Hamptons designs, but also for any other designers with their own styles,” Natalee said.
“Quantify offers many benefits – not just to the designer but to the electrician, builder and homeowner”.
“The U.S. should get excited about what Quantify is bringing to market. They’ve got something unique going and it’s very exciting to be a part of it,” Natalee said.
