Tech Transformation for a Furniture & Boutique Owner

Published on July 21, 2025

The Challenge

  • The client was hesitant to move away from traditional systems due to limited understanding of smart home technology
  • Concerns about system durability, cost efficiency, and long-term reliability created trust issues
  • Frequent power fluctuations in the area made system stability and backup a top priority
  • The client was unsure if phone-based control would be user-friendly for all family members
  • A comparison of the client’s existing partner’s cheaper installation of the same brand further added to the hesitation

Our Solution

  • Convinced the client to automate all key areas including the bedroom, living room, dining area, foyer, and other common spaces
  • Built trust through a clear commitment from CEPL to deliver measurable results
  • Designed a stable, low-maintenance system with efficient safety features to handle power instability
  • Strategically planned battery backup and lighting to offer up to 150 minutes of reserve during outages
  • A week post-installation, the previously skeptical client became fully engaged and requested expansion into additional zones
  • Upon comparing systems, the client recognised a superior user experience and workmanship despite both using the same brand
  • Though asked to take over the existing partner’s automation project, we declined due to ethical reasons
  • Over the past six years, the client has referred us to several new projects, reinforcing long-term satisfaction
