CAMBRIDGE CONNECTS THE WORLD - WITH CAMBRIONIX

Just as some of the world’s biggest brands grew from humble beginnings, so too did local tech start-up Cambrionix. Founded from a Cambridge garage in 2007, the husband-and-wife run business has now gone truly global, expanding its international reach throughout Europe, the US, India, Singapore and beyond. And they’re only just getting started.

THE FUTURE IS BRIGHT – THE FUTURE IS MOBILE

“Technology is playing an increasingly integral role in every sector, from education to government, healthcare to industry,” says co-founder and Managing Director Victoria Tyson. “But to be truly useful to the organisations and the end users, that technology needs to be scalable, and it needs to be easy to use well. That’s exactly the problem we’re helping to solve with our products at Cambrionix.” Cambrionix makes smart USB hubs and intelligent docking stations to help organisations charge, connect and manage mobile devices at scale. It allows users to synchronise and deploy multiple devices at once, far faster than any alternative in the market, securely and safely. It also provides intelligent software to manage and control devices easily and effectively, with a dedicated service team to provide support. “Every business is using technology in its service delivery nowadays, and that dependency is only going to increase,” says Victoria. “In shops, hospitals, schools, businesses, festivals and events – everyone is using mobile devices for both front line and back-office operations. But phones and tablets need to be set up correctly so they can be safely switched between operatives, whether that’s staff or customers, and that has always been a massive challenge for organisations.”

MOBILE DEVICE MANAGEMENT IN ACTION

Cambrionix works across almost every conceivable industry. Their hubs have been used by the UK and US military to boost communication efficiency, in healthcare organisations throughout the world, in education, retail, government, hospitality, technology and industry, and the list keeps growing. “We love working with our customers around the world and seeing the impact our products are having,” says Victoria. “Global trading has its challenges of course, even outside the current supply chain issues. We have to navigate complex import and export regulations, as well as individual countries’ quality assurance certification requirements, so it requires really in-depth understanding of the different protocols. We have great partnerships with our customers and they really buy into the quality and relevance of our products. It’s a really exciting space to be in right now.”

THE STAMP OF AUTHORITY

Credibility is vital for any business operating in the technology landscape. Recently Cambrionix has become an approved partner of world-leading tech platform Jamf, an organisation which

manages and secures more than 27 million devices worldwide and is relied upon by over 62,000 businesses spanning every conceivable sector including corporate, government and education. “Being featured on the Jamf marketplace is a really exciting step for us,” says Victoria. “It’s a real benchmark of the incredible quality and capacity of our products and we can’t wait to see where the partnership could take us.”

SO WHAT’S NEXT?

With business expanding rapidly and global partnerships on the rise, the future looks bright for Cambrionix. “We are just about to launch a fantastic new offering in Cambrionix Connect, which will enable remote operation for all our hubs,” says Victoria. “The world is changing fast and remote operation and control is increasingly becoming a necessity. Our engineers are doing incredible things to bring this dream to life for our customers and we can’t wait to launch it over the next few months.” The team works tirelessly to identify and develop new products, processes and improvements to enhance the user experience and make life that little bit easier for its global network of customers and suppliers. Cambrionix products have earned an enviable reputation worldwide for their incredibly fast transfer speeds, reliability, high quality and versatility. “We’ve come a really long way over the last 15 years,” says Victoria. “We’re so proud of our Cambridge roots and delighted to be a part of such an exciting hub of technology for the UK. Things change incredibly fast in this industry and we absolutely can’t wait to see what the future holds.” You can find out more about Cambrionix and its range of mobile device management solutions at www.cambrionix.co.uk
