About weavix

Transforming Frontline Communication with Intelligence

At weavix, we forge authentic connections that give frontline workers an undeniable voice. Founded in the field, not the boardroom, we understand the daily challenges faced by industrial teams because we’ve lived them. Our experience on the ground drove us to pioneer the smart radio, creating Walt®, the world’s most advanced frontline engagement and intelligent communication system leveraging the power of AI.

We built Walt for the 2.7 billion frontline workers who keep industries moving.

Weavix was Built by Brothers Who Saw a Better Way

weavix was founded in 2019 by Kevin Turpin and his brothers, who invested $20 million of their own capital to solve a problem they knew intimately. After building PK Specialty Services into a global industrial services enterprise, they faced a frustrating reality: there was no way to know where their employees were, no simple way to easily prove what and when tasks had been completed–no safety-based system of record to locate employees who might need help or be facing a safety issue.

Every option on the market was just a dumb radio with zero intelligence built in and no way to verify accountability or enhance safety. So the Turpins built Walt® Smart Radio System, the first wearable AI communication hub that turns voice into actionable intelligence with complete visibility and documentation.

Since then, we’ve processed over 2 billion messages, helping manufacturers, construction teams, and hospitality operations unlock Voice to Value. We’re transforming frontline communication from a cost center into your strategic advantage.

Kevin’s vision attracted major investors: $10 million Series A funding in 2022 from Koch Disruptive Technologies (a fellow Wichita company), followed by $23.6 million Series B in 2024 from Insight Partners, with participation from Four More Capital, The Friedkin Group, and Perkins Coie. Total raised: $33.6 million.

Today, weavix serves Fortune 500 companies including Campbell’s, Milwaukee Tool, Hyundai, Panasonic, Tesla, Kraft Heinz, Hilton, and HanesBrands.

The weavix Mission: Connect Every Disconnected Worker

Our mission is as simple as our product: connect every disconnected worker.

The 2.7 billion frontline workers who keep industries moving have been left behind by outdated communication technology for too long. While executives have smartphones, video calls, and instant access to information, frontline teams have been stuck with dumb radios that can’t prove accountability, locate workers in emergencies, or capture the intelligence happening on the ground every day.

We’re changing that. Through Walt® Smart Radio System, we’re giving frontline workers the voice-powered intelligence they deserve. When every worker is connected, heard, and empowered with real-time information, organizations unlock Voice to Value: transforming communication from a cost center into measurable safety improvements, efficiency gains, and operational excellence.

Where truth speaks louder than perception, where frontline value is illuminated, and where every worker has a voice, that’s where you’ll find weavix.

Together, we’re “weaving” the future of frontline work.

    Deskless workers deserve the same opportunities for communications, if not better, than knowledge workers. Walt by weavix breaks down barriers, ensures multilingual teams can collaborate seamlessly, and gives every worker a voice in improving operations.

The weavix Difference

We’re based in Kansas, not Cupertino. We’re available 24/7 because frontline operations don’t run on a 9-to-5 schedule. When a plant supervisor needs help at 2 AM or a construction site has a Saturday priority, our team is there. We fire on all cylinders to make sure Walt works when and where you need it, because downtime on the frontline isn’t just inconvenient—it’s costly and potentially dangerous. We are your partner, not just another vendor.
