AcSoft and Svantek UK are the leading suppliers of advanced instrumentation for noise, air quality, and vibration monitoring. With a strong commitment to technical support, custom training programmes, and robust, time-saving solutions, AcSoft has built a reputation as a trusted partner for professionals working in complex environmental monitoring sectors. AcSoft recognises the importance of contributing to broader sustainability and public health goals, and is exploring future initiatives in this space. As the demand for integrated environmental data grows, AcSoft identified the need to expand into air quality monitoring and found the ideal partner in Airly.

Challenges

  • Evolving market needs: Customers increasingly requested air quality data alongside noise and vibration, creating a demand for all-in-one monitoring solutions.
  • Legacy technology limitations: Previous air quality systems had limitations in terms of cost, size, accuracy, and scalability.
  • Competitive landscape: The market for small air quality sensors is highly competitive.
  • Support & delivery expectations: Customers expected fast delivery, responsive support, and user-friendly hardware.

Solution

AcSoft turned to Airly’s compact, reliable, and cost-effective air quality sensors, initially through a customer pilot project requiring PM10 and PM2.5 data in Birmingham. Impressed by their performance, AcSoft began offering Airly sensors alongside their existing product line to various industries. Once Airly received MCERTS certification, a key threshold for market acceptance and requirement from the UK market, AcSoft rapidly expanded its offering and established an exclusive sales agreement.

Airly’s solution stood out due to:

  • Compact hardware design
  • Cost-effectiveness compared to alternatives
  • MCERTS certification for regulatory compliance
  • Rapid deployment capabilities
  • Seamless integration into AcSoft’s SvanNET platform via Airly API.

Partnership overview

The partnership began with a customer pilot in Birmingham. AcSoft provided two Airly sensors on a free trial alongside a reference dust analyser. The Airly devices performed strongly, and when MCERTS certification was achieved, AcSoft committed fully, initially with a non-exclusive agreement. The success of these early sales led to the signing of an exclusive distribution agreement, driven by growing demand and positive customer feedback.

The collaboration between AcSoft and Airly is built on aligned missions, mutual responsiveness, and shared growth goals. Airly supports AcSoft through:

  • Fast delivery and logistics flexibility.
  • Prompt technical support and troubleshooting.
  • Custom training and onboarding.
  • Strategic alignment on market expansion opportunities.
  • API integration with SvanNET and platform customisation.

This synergy has helped AcSoft successfully position Airly’s technology as the preferredsoluti on for customers needing reliable, real-time air quality data in the UK market.

Results

Quantitative:

  • 200+ Airly sensors deployed across the UK
  • Successful migration of customers from legacy systems to Airly hardware
  • Accelerated sales growth, reaching double sales since exclusive agreement.

Qualitative:

  • Positive user feedback on sensor ease-of-use and reliability
  • Strong market differentiation through responsive support and local expertise
  • Increased trust and brand reputation in the air quality space
  • Strengthened AcSoft’s position in a competitive environmental monitoring market.

Testimonial

Airly has been really attentive and provided support regarding both the installation of the sensors as well as the subsequent data collection and interpretation. You’re always willing to talk about strategy and help us grow – that’s something we don’t always get from suppliers.

Conclusions & next steps

The AcSoft x Airly partnership demonstrates the value of pairing best-in-class technology with expert local support. By combining Airly’s compact, MCERTS certified air quality sensors with AcSoft’s responsive service and training, the two companies are delivering real impact across the UK.

Looking ahead, AcSoft plans to continue scaling its Airly offering, explore opportunities in public sector and community-focused projects, and deepen integration within its digital platforms. With shared values and a focus on meaningful innovation, this partnership is set to drive cleaner air and smarter decisions for years to come.
