How Orbisk Scaled Globally While Cutting Connectivity Costs by 40%

Cutting costs, simplifying deployments, and expanding into new markets with a single global connectivity solution

About Orbisk

Turning food waste into data-driven decisions

Orbisk is a Netherlands-based AI company helping commercial kitchens reduce food waste by up to 70%. Their automated food waste monitoring system uses an integrated smart camera and scale to track everything thrown away, without requiring any manual input from staff.

By combining machine learning with real-time data capture, Orbisk gives hospitality operators the insights they need to reduce costs, optimize ordering, and operate more sustainably.

Their devices are already deployed in restaurants, cruise ships, hotels, and catering kitchens worldwide and they depend on seamless global connectivity to function.

The Challenge

Scaling AI devices with global reach but local complexity

As Orbisk expanded into North America and the Middle East, they encountered familiar challenges that plague many IoT deployments:

• Rising cellular connectivity costs across regions

• Fragmented SIM management and inconsistent support across providers

• Delayed deployments caused by technical mismatches in new markets

They needed a reliable IoT connectivity provider who could support their global roadmap, simplify operations, and eliminate cost inefficiencies.

The Simbase Solution

A scalable, global IoT SIM platform built for modern deployments

What began as a small-scale pilot quickly became a full migration to Simbase. Orbisk initially tested Simbase SIMs against their existing provider and the results spoke for themselves.

The Simbase solution:

• One global SIM platform with multi-region support

• Real-time control through a centralized IoT dashboard

• Transparent, pay-as-you-go pricing with no contracts or hidden fees

“Orbisk came to us with a clear need: simplify global deployments and reduce costs. We knew we could deliver both, and more.”
— Roel van der Meer, CEO, Simbase

As Orbisk scaled, Simbase upgraded them from the Standard Plan to the Global Business Plan, unlocking advanced support and greater flexibility for high-data IoT usage.

Together, we:

• Evaluated technical and geographic expansion requirements

• Streamlined deployment processes across kitchens worldwide

• Ensured reliable, real-time data transmission with zero dropouts

The Impact

Better performance, lower costs, and faster scale

“We were initially attracted to Simbase by its competitive pricing, but as we tested the solution, we discovered its ease of use and flawless performance. It opened up new opportunities for us to scale globally, and the Simbase team provided great support, making the entire process seamless.”
— Lena Burgdorf, Project Manager, Orbisk

What’s Next

Accelerating sustainable food tech into new markets

Orbisk continues to scale its AI-powered food waste technology into North America and the Middle East. With Simbase as their global IoT connectivity partner, they’re entering new markets faster and more efficiently, than ever before.

“It’s not just about cost savings, it’s about enabling the mission. That’s the role we’re proud to play.”
— David Netten, CTO, Simbase
