Looking Back on 2024: From Humble Beginnings to Market Leadership

As we bid farewell to an eventful 2024, it's remarkable to reflect on the journey of Litmus, a company that embarked on its mission a decade ago. Our founding premise was simple yet ambitious: transforming how industrial companies leverage their data to deliver meaningful results. Ten years down the line, this mission remains steadfast. However, the way we manifest this mission has seen tremendous evolution, evolving through the introduction of new products, enhanced features, and burgeoning partnerships—all while retaining our unwavering commitment to putting our customers first.

Litmus started with a vision to redefine industrial data handling, and over the years, we've consistently pushed the boundaries of innovation to ensure our solutions are not just cutting-edge but also precisely tailored to our customers' evolving needs. As we wrap up 2024, it's a perfect moment to celebrate our achievements—notably, our Customer triumphs and major updates from Product and Partnerships that have contributed to our relentless pursuit of excellence.

As we spoke with prospects and clients across the world, one common theme stood out: data is no longer confined to a single use case, a single site, or a single protocol. This evolving perspective highlights a significant shift in the business landscape, where data is increasingly recognized as a multidimensional asset that transcends traditional boundaries.

Using Litmus Edge, we've improved the integration and automation of our OT infrastructure management and deployment. This advancement helps us move towards unifying and standardizing our data practices throughout our organization. Sacha Dannewitz, CIO at VOSS Automotive.

In discussions about requirements and aspirations, the importance of adaptability in data management tools and infrastructure emerged as a central theme. The rapid pace of technological change presents a unique challenge: selecting solutions that serve immediate needs while remaining flexible enough to accommodate future developments. With AI as the current focal point, businesses are keenly aware that staying ahead requires a forward-looking data strategy.

We were delighted to discover that our efforts have closely aligned with the evolving needs of our customers. The positive feedback we have received serves as a testament to our commitment to not only meet but exceed the expectations set by our clients.

Litmus Edge makes it simpler to repeat a success story from one plant to the next and many others in quick succession. The Litmus team understood our goals and integrated seamlessly with our operational and IT environment – delivering greater ROI on existing systems and tools. Jan Krall, Head of Digital Transformation at Döhler
