Workz launches IoT platform to enable businesses to streamline operations
Dubai-based Workz Group, a leading mobile security and IoT solutions provider, has launched its new Z-IoT device management platform, to enable businesses to streamline operations.
The solution is designed to help service providers such as device manufacturers, mobile network operators, and government bodies optimise operational efficiencies and maximise the revenue potential of their devices and data.
According to the GSMA, in the next five years, the IoT market will be worth over $1 trillion, with the total number of connected devices surpassing 25 billion. The insight and flexibility gained through the use of IoT devices in areas like smart cities, energy, transportation, agriculture, factories and robotics are expected to lead to greater revenue-generating opportunities for businesses.

As part of Workz’ offering, users are able to remotely manage their devices through real-time tracking and operation with customised applications to fit specific business needs. With a pay-only-for-what-you-use pricing model, the Workz platform is designed to be highly competitive for all budgets, providing both scalability and an attractive return on investment from trial and soft launch, to mass-market rollout.
“As the digitisation of industry continues, it is important for businesses to be able to embrace this transformation without crippling expenditure or resources,” said Stéphane Fund, Workz Group CEO. “With our secure and affordable platform, customers can bring innovative new services to market faster and see a higher and more immediate ROI than ever before.”
Last year Workz opened two new offices on the East Coast of the US to offer SIM, eSIM and IoT technologies to customers across North and South America. These two openings are the first of several planned across the US and will provide local support to mobile network operators, device manufacturers and IoT integrators in the region.
The company will provide IoT, eSIM and remote SIM provisioning services to the cellular IoT market which, according to a report by Ericsson will grow to over 4 billion devices by 2024. In a recent market report from Counterpoint, Workz was recognized as one of the world’s leaders in eSIM technology. It is one of only six companies in the world to provide GSMA-certified full management of eSIM technology. Since first introducing its offering for the new SIM technology at the end of last year, the company has launched projects with mobile network operators, device manufacturers, and governments across North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa in the automotive, consumer device, and energy sectors.
According to the Nilson Report, the company is the world’s largest scratch card manufacturer and a top ten SIM card producer. With an international workforce of over 400 employees in nine locations across five continents, Workz services more than 100 leading mobile and IoT brands across the globe.
