ABOUT THINGTRAX

OUR JOURNEY

Co-founded by Aman Gupta and Imran Shafqat, Thingtrax’s journey started in 2015 at a Cisco and University College London accelerator. 

Today, our software runs on thousands of machines across hundreds of sites for our global clients, including some of the world’s most innovative manufacturers.

Beyond the features and functionality of the Thingtrax platform, our offering is driven by two very important factors: our people, and our approach.

Our team brings decades of real-world manufacturing experience. From the production of plastics, chemicals, and food to navigating fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) and high mix low volume (HMLV) environments.

In short, we’ve walked in your shoes and we’ve felt your pain.

Our products and services are borne from a passion for improving every aspect of a manufacturing operation with innovative solutions.

We go beyond simply capturing data, instead looking to analyse and deliver information to drive true operational improvement and behavioural change at every level throughout your workforce to unlock your true potential.
