About The Customer
The Model Group Inc. is a real estate development, construction, and management company founded in 1978 and headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio. The company primarily focuses on affordable housing but also deals with conventional apartments, condominiums, commercial, and retail properties. With a strong commitment to the neighborhoods and people in Ohio and Kentucky, the Model Group aims to build long-term relationships and maintain high standards of quality. The company has a single location and employs 35 people. Their reputation is built on their ability to design and implement innovative real estate solutions for their customers and partners.
The Challenge
The Model Group has a multifaceted business operation requiring specialized accounting and property management software to meet its complex reporting requirements. The company was using an outdated software package designed for federally subsidized low-income housing, which was not robust enough for their growing operations and reporting needs. They switched to another property management software package that relied on Microsoft Dynamics GP for back-end accounting, but it still did not meet their complex requirements. The company needed a solution that could handle the affordable housing market's regulations and support other business areas.
The Solution
Velosio designed an interface between Microsoft Dynamics GP and Model Group’s property management solution, BostonPost Technology. The data exchange between the two solutions occurs automatically, saving time-consuming and redundant data entry. Velosio's expertise facilitated a seamless integration, allowing Model Group to continue its growth without being bogged down by administrative tasks. The SQL database common to both solutions enabled efficient data exchange. Velosio also provided support and advice, ensuring that the integrated solution met Model Group's unique business requirements. The streamlined interface between the two business management solutions automates what would otherwise be a tedious, manual process.

Case Study
Improving Vending Machine Profitability with the Internet of Things (IoT)
The vending industry is undergoing a sea change, taking advantage of new technologies to go beyond just delivering snacks to creating a new retail location. Intelligent vending machines can be found in many public locations as well as company facilities, selling different types of goods and services, including even computer accessories, gold bars, tickets, and office supplies. With increasing sophistication, they may also provide time- and location-based data pertaining to sales, inventory, and customer preferences. But at the end of the day, vending machine operators know greater profitability is driven by higher sales and lower operating costs.
Case Study
Remote Wellhead Monitoring
Each wellhead was equipped with various sensors and meters that needed to be monitored and controlled from a central HMI, often miles away from the assets in the field. Redundant solar and wind generators were installed at each wellhead to support the electrical needs of the pumpstations, temperature meters, cameras, and cellular modules. In addition to asset management and remote control capabilities, data logging for remote surveillance and alarm notifications was a key demand from the customer. Terra Ferma’s solution needed to be power efficient, reliable, and capable of supporting high-bandwidth data-feeds. They needed a multi-link cellular connection to a central server that sustained reliable and redundant monitoring and control of flow meters, temperature sensors, power supply, and event-logging; including video and image files. This open-standard network needed to interface with the existing SCADA and proprietary network management software.
