History
As a pioneer in the space of mobile access solutions, Crayon Interface has enabled several first-to-market offerings through partnerships with companies in the vehicle telematics, energy management and home security industries.
Founded in 2005, Crayon Interface offers a platform of mobile software and service solutions to companies who serve the consumer and enterprise markets. Crayon's suite of software and wireless services supported under the Company's Moshi® platform, enables mobile devices to locate, monitor and control other devices in the home, vehicle and workplace environments.
In the early days of Web 2.0, Crayon Interface was looking ahead to Web 3.0 and began developing solutions for the "Pervasion Web" - an internet that can be accessed from anywhere via any mobile device. An internet that supports both the transmission of information and the monitoring and control of physical devices. The Company believed that the next generation of the internet would deliver access to the majority of the world's population and would enable companies and consumers to interact with the places and things most important to them. Crayon Interface's goal was to help bridge the digital world with the physical world.
Over the past few years, Crayon Interface has developed relationships within multiple vertical markets to serve consumers and businesses through its innovative mobile platform. Several companies now include Crayon Interface's Moshi® platform in new product offerings which create practical solutions for consumers and incremental revenue streams for hardware and service providers.
