Digi International Inc. (NASDAQ: DGII) unveiled its new SmartSense ONE platform on January 12, 2026, during the National Retail Federation’s Retail Industry Show in New York City. The launch event, held on the Exhibitors Big Ideas Stage 1, introduced a modular IoT solution that blends the capabilities of the company’s SmartSense line with the workforce‑management tools acquired from Jolt Software in August 2025 for $145.5 million.
SmartSense ONE is built around seven core modules that can be deployed individually or in combination, allowing customers in food service, retail, and healthcare to tailor the solution to their operational needs. By integrating Jolt’s real‑time workforce analytics with SmartSense’s asset‑tracking and condition‑monitoring features, the platform delivers prescriptive analytics, automated monitoring, and actionable workflows that help prevent spoilage, reduce equipment downtime, and maintain regulatory compliance across multiple sites, whether online or offline. The move is a key element of Digi’s subscription‑first strategy, which the company says will accelerate annual recurring revenue (ARR) growth and strengthen its position in the industrial IoT market.
Digi’s Q4 2025 results provide context for the launch. The company reported revenue of $114 million, up 9% year‑over‑year, and full‑year 2025 revenue of $430 million, a 1% increase. Adjusted net income per diluted share rose to $0.56, an 8% gain, while ARR reached $152 million, up 31% YoY. Management guided for 2026 ARR growth of 10%, revenue growth of 10‑15%, and adjusted EBITDA growth of 15‑20%. The company projects that the SmartSense ONE integration will add roughly $11 million in adjusted EBITDA by 2026, reflecting the expected synergies from the Jolt acquisition.
CEO Ron Konezny said the acquisition “strengthens Digi’s market presence and accelerates its SaaS growth strategy.” Guy Yehiav, President of SmartSense, added that the combined platform “will deliver greater efficiency, compliance, and ROI for customers.” In the Q4 2025 earnings call, management highlighted macroeconomic headwinds and geopolitical uncertainties but expressed confidence in achieving its long‑term goal of $200 million in ARR and $200 million in adjusted EBITDA by fiscal 2028.
The launch positions Digi to compete more effectively against other industrial IoT vendors by offering a unified, end‑to‑end solution that covers asset tracking, workforce management, and condition monitoring. While the company faces ongoing pricing pressure in some segments and macro‑economic uncertainty, the new platform is expected to drive higher customer retention and upsell opportunities, reinforcing Digi’s subscription‑first trajectory and supporting its forecasted growth for 2026.
