Customer service

 

Thanks to the design of the scale and our sense of service, we are committed to ensuring an after-sales service that allows you not to waste time and thus maximize the operating time of Optibee on your apiaries.

Unlimited email support

The network

 

The scale uses the Sigfox network to send measurements to Optibee servers.

The equipment is category 0 certified by Sigfox, which guarantees optimum transmission quality to the network.
We have been partners of Sigfox since 2013, the choice of this technology allows us to transmit at a level 1000 times lower than GSM technology.

We thus limit electromagnetic disturbances on apiaries and save as much energy as possible.

Maintenance and reliability

 

Modular design to facilitate after-sales service

The maintenance operations on the scale consist of changing the batteries (approximately every two seasons).

You have notified yourself by email of the need to intervene.

Complies with European standards, CE and RED marking issued by an independent accredited laboratory

Security and confidentiality

 

The data sent by Optibee belongs to you, we are committed to keeping all the information collected confidential.

Optibee does not have a GPS chip. The scales are therefore not locatable except by yourself.

Access to data is protected by an encryption system of the same level as e-commerce sites.

Your data is backed up regularly so that in the event of failure Optibee keeps a history of them.
