Our take

Building and launching smart devices from scratch is a lengthy and expensive process. Mason solves this problem with its smart device platform.

Mason's platform provides manufacturers with a fully managed infrastructure for designing and delivering dedicated devices. Doing so is 20 times faster than designing and building manually, and it costs a tenth of the price. This effectiveness has earned Mason considerable attention and a number of awards, which is testament to the growing demand for products like this.

The company has gained traction by diversifying its product range to include features such as troubleshooting and remote fleet management, and expanded its executive team. Its global reach and reputation for rapid speed to market will stand it in good stead going forwards.
