G Satish, CEO & Co-founderThe architecture underlying Connixt’s iMarq™ suite of modular apps enables deployment within days, at a fixed flat monthly fee—unusual in an industry long used to long deployment cycles, high total cost of ownership, and unpredictable ROI. As the utilities don’t have to invest in hardware or software, there are no related maintenance or infrastructure overheads. Most importantly, utilities need make no changes to their back-end systems (iMarq integrates seamlessly with most CMMS and other systems); and in case of smaller utilities, they don’t even need back-end systems. Once the deployment is completed typically within two days, authorized users can securely download iMarq and after authentication, start using them right away.
Questioning their own product approaches and processes, the folks at Connixt are always on a constant quest to innovate. “Our bywords are simple, smart and easy—words that are rarely used in the enterprise software context – and those are values that guide us in every bit of software we create,” delineates Prabu Ekambaram, Co-founder and CTO, Connixt.
One of the instances had a large water utility implementing Connixt’s mobile solution to handle its on-field service requests. Connixt configured iMarq within days to handle self-service requests from the field and integrated the solution with their legacy back-end system that handled service tickets. The firm’s pre-built solution allayed the utility’s dilemma of implementing a custom developed solution or adopting a platform from their incumbent enterprise system vendor that would have needed additional development.
Prabu Ekambaram, Co-founder & CTOMoving ahead, Connixt will continue to focus on the Utilities space while expanding into aligned verticals such as construction. The firm is also working with transit agencies that have similar requirements. The next frontier for Connixt from a technology perspective is the Internet of Things (IoT) including out-of-the-box integration with sensors to facilitate remote-monitoring of assets for condition assessment, condition based maintenance, and automatic creation of service orders based on asset status. “So let’s just say Connixt is at the intersection of human beings, assets, mobility, and cloud!” concludes Satish.
Connixt values its client-partnerships to deliver solutions that help them innovate, even when it means some of the needs are initially not entirely defined. “Our key differentiator is our deep enterprise knowledge coupled with a narrow focus on customer business needs rather than technology,” emphasizes Ekambaram. Not wanting to be stereotyped as another “app company” or “mobile platform”, the company specializes in leveraging the available technologies—cloud and mobile—to efficiently automate utility industry-specific processes. As an extension, Connixt also offers a family of apps that focus on procurement, inventory and material movement in the field.

Monday, September 25, 2023
LOS ANGELES -- Connixt is pleased to announce that iMarq™ for trucking is now integrated with Trimble's TMT range of Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) Systems – a further step towards digitizing and automating asset management and maintenance for customers to extract even greater returns from their Trimble EAM investments.
iMarq is a cloud-mobile native app suite for maintenance crew and executives. Today, iMarq integrates seamlessly with Trimble's EAM systems using Trimble's standard APIs to deliver Work Orders with relevant forms and checklists on tablets or smartphones along with in-context instructions/reference manuals/videos etc.
Benefits of this integration include:
• Workflows allow for alerts and notifications, as well as review and approvals, which include annotated photos and speech-to-text comments.
• Time-keeping + tracking of defects & repairs + parts consumed are all standard features. This integration further supports Connixt's rapid deployment approach that sees iMarq implementation up and running within days.
• Automated compliance reporting ensures ready compliance with mandatory regulations.
United Road, the premier automotive transport expert, has been digitizing maintenance and reporting with iMarq in conjunction with their Trimble TMT environment. Ashton Price, United Road's Regional Maintenance Director, says, "Connixt iMarq's seamless integration with Trimble TMT helps on two primary counts – our mechanics are able to complete their inspections digitally on tablets and this information is automatically fed into TMT thus eliminating data entry and related errors, and bringing in greater standardization into the entire process. Further, we are able to auto-generate the necessary reporting and also view the status of inspections on a real-time basis."
Trimble's Renaldo Adler, Director - Channel Development & Alliances, Transportation, says, "We are pleased to see the value our customers can derive from the Connixt iMarq integration with Trimble TMT. This is a great win for our customers as they move towards greater digitization."
Connixt iMarq's integration with Trimble's EAM systems is powered by TMT's suite of APIs (Trimble's Integration Toolkit module). Connixt's Open Enterprise Architecture enables rapid integration with Trimble as well as a number of other ELD/ Telematics and EAM systems in the industry – both current and legacy.
