Celebrating 27 years in business, Trinity IoT is focused on empowering South African organisations with the ability to turn their live data into real world business value. Through the Trinity Connect Platform, organisations can manage their entire device and SIM estate using an integrated interface. And by introducing the rules engine capabilities of Connect into the environment, companies can automate business operations using their incoming asset data.
“We saw the massive potential of GSM for businesses when the first telcos launched in the country in 1994. Our initial focus was on importing and reselling machine-to-machine devices for businesses who were looking for tracking and remote management solutions. But given the cost, this was limited to those with big budgets. This contributed to developing Connect. With this platform in place, and leveraged against a robust network and cloud infrastructure, businesses can now focus on growing their strategic value while we manage their IoT ecosystems,” says Ross Hickey, Founder and CEO of Trinity IoT.
Over the years, Trinity IoT has evolved into an end-to-end IoT software as a services and professional services organisation. Its teams in Johannesburg and Cape Town support over 200 subscribers across 25 industries, enabling them to leverage their asset data through IoT technologies. What differentiates the company is its focus on having small and specialised teams in place. For them, it is not about the number of employees, but rather how talented they are.
“Because we operate in such a rapidly evolving environment, we are committed to taking care of our employees who have developed the unique skills necessary to service our customers’ requirements. Some have been with us for more than 15 years, with a few even hitting the 20 year mark,” adds Hickey.
Today, Trinity IoT provides the core infrastructure, platform, and services needed to power GSM-based IoT across a range of industries and use cases. With a robust cloud foundation and network stack in place, the organisation sublets a network-agnostic APN to its customers. This enables them to manage their data usage across multiple mobile networks.
“All these cloud roads lead to Connect. The platform allows customers to extract, view, and manage data from SIMs and devices hooked up to assets in the field. We even provide bespoke software development solutions built on top of Connect for those companies that need a truly tailored approach. The recent launch of an AWS region in Cape Town means we are able to deliver on the growing demand for uniquely developed IoT solutions that leverage the power of the cloud.”
