Devices that think ahead. Stories that watch back.

Tick by i4Seer.

A small, rugged device that monitors your equipment and reports direct to the dashboard you choose. Cellular when you need it, WiFi when you have it, both at once when downtime hurts. Plug in and watch.

Operators

Open the operator UI

Live device list, per-device panel, command queue, firmware OTA, audit log. Same surface our team uses.

Returning

Already an operator? Sign in.

Operator name + token. Per-operator audit, 14-day idle / 90-day hard expiry on tokens.

The device.

A small, rugged unit that lives where the equipment lives. Plug it in, point it at the dashboard you choose, and it starts reporting in seconds.

Plug-and-play

~30 sec to first reading

Power on, network attach, first telemetry post — the whole cold-start path takes about half a minute. No router config, no SIM activation paperwork.

On-device LED

Diagnostics at a glance

An RGB status LED tells you the device’s state in five colors: booting, idle, checking in, updating, error. Readable across a warehouse aisle. No screen, no app needed — the dashboard carries the detail.

Hardware-rooted ID

Identity that survives anything

Every device’s ID is derived from its hardware. Reflash, factory-reset, swap the SIM — the same physical unit is the same identity, every time.

Telemetry data.

Tick stores every reading. Routes forward that same data to wherever you actually use it — a dashboard, an alerting system, an in-house pipeline.

Store

Persisted, queryable

Every reading lands in the portal with full context: which transport carried it, round-trip time, device health, and the rolling-window summary. Searchable by device, fleet, or time range.

Sense often

Lo / hi / avg / last per window

Sample every 30 seconds, send every 30 minutes — the report carries the full window. Catch short events without paying for thousands of redundant data points.

Offline-tolerant

Buffered on flash

When the network is down, unsent readings persist to a 64 KB flash partition — ~64 hours at one-minute records, ~26 days at ten-minute. When the device gets back online, the backlog drains oldest-first.

Routes Coming

Forward to your stack

The portal pushes events out as they arrive: HTTPS first, with MQTT, AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Twilio, Datacake, Blynk, and Qubitro in development.

More on the data path →

The portal.

An operator-grade UI for managing the fleet. Live device list, per-device panel, command queue, firmware OTA, signed audit. End-user views with org / fleet / role separation are next.

Remote commands

Reach any device, queued

Send commands from the dashboard; the device executes and returns results in the next event. Approvals, labels, firmware targets, diagnostics — all without leaving the browser.

Firmware OTA

Updates with progress

Per-device firmware targeting over WiFi or cellular. Operator kicks off from the portal, or the device pulls on its own. Chunked download with compression, SHA verification, resume-after-crash. Progress visible in the per-device panel as it lands.

Audit by default

Every action signed

Approvals, label changes, queued commands, firmware targets, OTA outcomes — all recorded with operator identity and timestamp. Export via tick-cli audit.

In progress Coming

User · org · fleet · role

End-customer accounts with org / fleet / role separation: org owners, editors, viewers, and fleet members for contractors. Today: operator-only. Cascade model designed and documented; implementation underway.

Built in

Live WebSocket UI

The operator UI pushes events over WebSocket as they happen, with localStorage backfill on reconnect. Auto-reconnect with exponential backoff up to 60s.

Built in

Operator metrics

Counters, gauges, queue depth, device counts, frame errors — surfaced through a dedicated metrics endpoint and rendered in the UI’s status header.

Three ways to deploy.

Pick where the data lands. Switch later if your needs change.

Mode 01
01

Bring your own backend

Already have an ingest pipeline, time-series database, or in-house dashboard? Point Tick at your endpoint. Use it as a turn-key device fleet feeding your existing stack.

Mode 03 · Enterprise
03

Tick Private Portal

A customer-owned portal deployment for organizations with compliance, data-residency, or sovereignty requirements. Paid setup, paid support, versioned compatibility. Contact for quote →

Pick the transport.

WiFi for connected sites. Cellular for places without IT. Both when downtime hurts.

Transport 01

WiFi only

For offices, kitchens, warehouses with reliable WiFi. No cellular cost, no SIM. The fastest transport.

Transport 02

Cellular only

For rentals, jobsites, mobile units, remote outbuildings. Global SIM, nationwide carrier coverage. Plug in anywhere.

Transport 03

WiFi + cellular backup

WiFi to save cost; cellular kicks in instantly when WiFi blips. An outage can’t take you offline.

Who Tick is for.

Anyone with expensive equipment in places without IT staff or reliable WiFi.

Cold-Chain

Restaurants · Pharma · Food trucks

Restaurant freezer monitoring. Pharma cold-chain. Mobile units. The “freezer #4 dropped to 41°F” story. Devices ride along anywhere there’s cell signal.

Field Service

HVAC · Rentals · Generators

Equipment rental fleets, jobsite generators, HVAC installations. Customer wants to know if a unit is running without sending a tech to check.

Operators

Run a fleet from a browser

Live device list, transport indicator per device, queued commands, firmware OTA, signed audit. The same operator UI we use to run our own fleet, available to you.

Enterprise

Compliance-bound operations

Procurement requirements, data-residency rules, sector-specific compliance. The Tick Private Portal deployment puts your data and your portal under your control, with paid setup and support.

Pilot a deployment.

Tick is sold direct, in pilot batches. Every deployment is different, so we build quotes around the use case — how many devices, what transport, where the data lands.
