Background

President Ty Allen, CEO Thomas Karren, and COO Eric Johnson founded MokiMobility in late 2011.

In June 2012 MokiMobility launched MokiTouch, the first Android kiosks with remote management. The company followed up the release with MokiTouch Pro, a more secure media content app, in October,

Also in June 2012, MokiMobility joined with FavoriteEats to help the company manage their iPad-based loyalty program at numerous restaurant locations, including Gandolfo’s New York Delicatessen. The MDM iPad platform locks down each device and enables remote management.

In October 2012 MokiManage became the first mobile device and application management platform built on the Google App Engine. Mokimanage, which uses Google App Engine’s High-Replication Datastore and Task Queue API, enables remote management of application settings, application distribution, and device management for Android and iOS systems.

In February 2013 the company launched the MokiMobility Solution Center, an app directory for purposed tablet solutions.

In April 2013 MokiMobility raised $2 million in seed funding to expand their dedicated mobile device management platform and enhance end-point security. Investment firm Epic Ventures led the round with additional funding from Allegis Capital and Fusion-IQ.

Product

MokiMobility is a cloud-based mobile device management platform which converts mobile devices like iPads and Android Tablets into single-purpose devices like kiosks, mobile point-of-sale (mPOS), digital signs, product displays, conference room schedulers, or retail sales terminals. The company also provides security, remote management, and monitoring on specified mobile devices with purposed applications.

Partnerships

In April 2013 MokiMobility partnered with Revel Systems, a San Francisco-based creator of iPad POS deployments for restaurants and retail stores. Revel is one of the first companies to build POS solutions on an iPad. Through the partnership, MokiMobility and Revel Systems will develop an iPad POS system that adheres to new PCI Security Council guidelines.

Leadership

Before forming MokiMobility in 2012, Thomas Karren and Ty Allen collaborated in 1998 to create WingateWeb, an event management software company that produced SaaS oriented web solutions for the events industry. The team sold WingateWeb to the Active Network in 2007.
