Proximi.io is the only technology-agnostic platform for developers that combines all major mobile positioning technologies under one umbrella. With Proximi.io platform developers can turn any application location-aware in minutes. In addition to getting the most precise position fix, the platform offers easy-to-use tools for geofencing, delivering mobile content, automating IoT devices, integrating to 3rd party APIs, and collecting analytics. Also, the platform can be connected to any application with iOS and Android SDKs, and an Ionic/Cordova plugin.

Proximi.io was founded in April 2014 by Annina Koskiola and Mika Koskiola. Coming from different backgrounds, both had grown an interest toward location-based technologies. Annina is an archeologist and museum exhibition curator by education, who got pulled into the field through her masters thesis research on museums and mobile applications. Mika has a strong background in R&D with WiFi technology and embedded Linux systems.
