Meanwhile, the installation of products and services to make the house a smart home is usually in the final stage. "Devices to integrate and create a smart home must be completed after the main items such as construction and installation of the system are about to be completed, then, if there is still "abundance", the homeowner can invest more", Mr. Hoai Anh shared.
To overcome this problem, Atekco company has made efforts to link and coordinate with businesses and construction contractors in the area. Accordingly, right from the initial design stage, project investors have been consulted about the utility of smart homes, thereby planning costs in a reasonable way. Besides, the quality of service provided is what Mr. Hoai Anh puts on top to create his competition. “Our goal is to continue to expand our customer base, targeting young people and families with financial conditions in urban areas. This requires businesses besides the construction and installation of products, after-sales issues are very important.
