ATLANTA, Jan. 23, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — ThingTech, an Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) Platform-as-a-Service provider that helps asset-intensive organizations connect equipment, devices and people, today announced that it has raised a Series A funding round of $4 million led by BIP Capital with follow on investor Engage Ventures.
ThingTech delivers visibility into high-value assets, equipment and the mobile workforce in real-time using advanced analytics and cloud services. Its platform leverages IIoT data streams to solve complex business problems, support machine learning and help businesses work smarter.

“ThingTech delivers enterprise capability with startup agility, which is what we believe sets us apart,” said Tim Quinn, CEO and co-founder of ThingTech. “We help asset-intensive organizations connect their equipment and devices in order to glean real-time, actionable intelligence. The team at BIP Capital will be invaluable to us—both in terms of capital and mentorship—as we seek to continue our growth and expand our depth and reach in the marketplace.”
“We’re excited to partner with ThingTech as IoT continues to become a significant business disruptor,” said Dan Drechsel, senior vice president at BIP Capital. “ThingTech’s agility and ability to be deployed quickly distinguish it from other IoT solutions. They’ve already had notable successes across multiple industries, including transportation/distribution, equipment rental/leasing, and state and local government, and we’re looking forward to working with them to gain even greater momentum.”
