For manufacturers of geotechnical and structural monitoring sensors, and telemetry systems.

Hardware Partner Program

sensly is a monitoring data platform used to manage infrastructure monitoring data during construction.

We help sensor and gateway manufacturers validate compatibility, improve visibility with monitoring contractors and consultants, and create more opportunities for their products to be specified in complete monitoring systems.

SenslyDashoard

Compatible with hardware used across the monitoring industry

sensly already supports data from a wide range of established monitoring hardware manufacturers and providers. 

A Simple Path to Compatibility

 The program is designed so manufacturers can start with a practical first step using data transport methods you likely already have with opportunity to build more integrated API connections if it makes commercial sense.

Review Fit

Meet with sensly to review your hardware range, target customers, and the most suitable integration path.

Confirm Compatibility

Start with structured data transfer via FTP so compatibility can be confirmed without unnecessary project overhead.

Document and Promote

Compatibility is documented and may be promoted through partner listing, technical content and joint marketing activities.

Integration Options

Quick Start (FTP)

The fastest way to prove compatibility and start generating demand. Use your existing gateway export to send structured data files to sensly via FTP. No development required.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎
  • No development required — works with your current export setup
  • Fastest path to confirmed compatibility
  • Minimal effort from your engineering team
  • Enables your hardware to be used on sensly projects quickly
  • Allows you to test commercial demand before committing further resources

API

Leverage your existing platform to deliver a better customer experience. sensly connects directly to your platform or gateway via API to retrieve or receive monitoring data, and speed deployment

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎
  • Supports real-time or push-based data transfer (no waiting on FTP polling)
  • Simplifies setup for customers and deployment teams
  • Reduces reliance on file handling and manual configuration
  • Creates a smoother, more reliable user experience for your customers
  • Positions your hardware as a more integrated option within sensly workflows

Calibration

Eliminate manual setup and reduce configuration risk. sensly retrieves sensor-specific calibration factors from your database using a unique device identifier (e.g. serial number).

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎
  • Automatically populates calibration parameters during setup
  • Eliminates manual entry of complex calibration factors
  • Reduces errors in sensor configuration
  • Speeds up deployment for monitoring teams
  • Particularly valuable for sensors with complex or numerous calibration parameters
  • Provides a differentiated, industry-specific capability not typically supported by generic platforms

Every integration level includes:

Better project delivery for shared customers

Customers using sensly can deploy your hardware faster, with fewer configuration errors and a more streamlined setup experience.

Frequently asked questions

Do we need an API to integrate with sensly?

No, many partnerships begin with a simple export of ASCII files from loggers to an FTP server.

Does sensly require exclusivity?

No. sensly is designed to remain hardware neutral and support compatibility with multiple vendors. 

You are very welcome to build similar partnerships with other software vendors. 

What types of hardware are relevant?

The program is aimed at manufacturers and distributors of monitoring sensors, telemetry gateways, and data acquisition systems used in infrastructure monitoring.

Sensors commonly used by sensly customers include crackmeters, fibre optic systems, gnss, in-place inclinometers, load cells, manual inclinometers, piezometers, prisms, saa, strain gauges, tdr, thermistors, tiltmeters, virtual points, and weather stations.

We also integrate with telemetry enabled datalogger manufacturers that support connection to these types of sensors.

Are there any costs associated with becoming a partner?

There are no costs to establish basic compatibility using FTP. This initial step is designed to be simple and low effort, and typically only requires sample data and documentation from your team.

For deeper integration (such as API connectivity or calibration support), we work with partners to agree on an appropriate commercial model based on the level of effort and mutual value.

In some cases, sensly may fully fund API integration for hardware partners with strong market presence and demonstrated commitment to joint promotion. In other cases, integration can be accelerated under a paid arrangement, for example where a specific customer or project requires compatibility.

How does sensly work alongside a manufacturer’s in-house software?

Many hardware manufacturers provide software for data acquisition and basic visualisation. For many simple monitoring applications, these tools are entirely fit for purpose.

sensly is typically used on larger and more complex monitoring projects where multiple organisations are involved and data is being collected from many sensor types. In these environments, users often need to combine data from different systems, apply real-time analytics, and visualise processed results through charts, dashboards, and spatial analysis to understand complex asset behaviour.

Rather than replacing manufacturer software, sensly is commonly used alongside it—helping extend the use of your hardware into larger, multi-vendor monitoring projects where more advanced data management and analytics are required.

How much technical work is required to get started?

In many cases, very little. If your hardware or gateway can export structured data (for example via file transfer or API), compatibility can usually be reviewed quickly. sensly works with partners to identify the simplest integration pathway first, with deeper integration options available later if there is value for both parties.
