About weavix
weavix® turns what frontline workers say into knowledge the whole organization can act on. We were built in the field, not the boardroom, for the plant floors and job sites that keep industries moving.

Organizations don’t become better because people talk more. They become better because they understand work more completely.
On every plant floor and job site, the people closest to the work see problems first: a machine running rough, a hazard on the line, a fix one shift figured out that the next shift never hears about. Most of that knowledge gets lost in a radio conversation nobody recorded, or it reaches leadership days later, filtered and summarized.
Our mission
We believe the people closest to the work understand it best, and that unlocking that value takes partnership with the people who lead, translate, and champion it: supervisors, foremen, and site leaders who carry it upward. Our job is to build technology around the way work actually happens, removing the barriers between work and understanding.
Communication is the means; understanding is the objective. When organizations truly understand work as it happens, they make better decisions, people become more capable, organizations become stronger, and technology quietly does what it was always meant to do: help people do their best work.
People want the value of their work to be recognized, understood, and amplified.
weavix is not another radio. It is a direct line to your frontline. The Walt® Smart Radio System works like the radios crews already trust. Say it once, in your own language, and the right people hear it. Behind every push of the button, the weavix platform gets the message to the person who can act on it, with AI transcription and AI translation in 26+ languages with automatic dialect detection. Every message, photo, and video is kept in a timestamped record of what was said and decided.
When what your frontline knows reaches the right people in real time, crews stay safe and work keeps moving. Every alert is understood, every problem reaches the right person, and nothing waits for a report.
HanesBrands eliminated 5 hours a week of toolbox-talk downtime and promoted non-English speakers into new roles.
Milwaukee Tool eliminated shift startup meetings and cut safety training from months to weeks.
weavix was founded in 2019 in Wichita, Kansas, by Kevin Turpin and his brothers, who invested $20 million of their own capital. The problem came from running PK Specialty Services, a global industrial services business, where there was no way to know where workers were, prove work was done, or locate someone who needed help. Every option on the market was, in their words, “a dumb radio with zero intelligence built in.”
So they began with the work and built the Walt Smart Radio System, creating the smart radio category.
Investors who know industrial work backed it: a $10 million Series A in 2022 led by Koch Disruptive Technologies, a fellow Wichita company, and a $23.6 million Series B in 2024 led by Insight Partners, with Four More Capital, The Friedkin Group and Perkins Coie participating. Total raised: $33.6 million.
Customers grow with us. Stella & Chewy’s grew from maintenance and managers to all 600+ employees across three buildings. Dessert Holdings runs 3,000+ employees across 9 facilities on one platform. PrimeFlight expanded from 2 airports to 6.
weavix is led by a team with decades of experience in industrial operations, product innovation, and frontline technology.

"It's 24/7 communication for a 24/7 business."
We’re based in Kansas, not Cupertino. We’re available 24/7, because frontline operations don’t run 9 to 5. When a plant supervisor needs help at 2 AM or a job site has a Saturday priority, our team is there. Teams are set up in as little as 5 to 10 minutes, and weCare covers every Walt. We’re a partner, not just a vendor.
