What Connexionz does

Connexionz builds and supports cloud-based CAD/AVL Intelligent Transit Systems (ITS) for public and private ferry and bus operators. The platform combines a Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) and Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL) backbone — generating and consuming highly accurate GPS data to track where vehicles have been, are, and will be — with a modular suite that includes dispatcher software, route management, real-time passenger information with GTFS integration to Google Maps, TimeView signage, onboard technologies (MDTs, audio announcements, traffic signal priority, automatic passenger counters), business intelligence and NTD reporting, and safety systems. The company also offers a Vehicle In Bay Detection (VIBD) module for transit center bay management and a Large Agency Package bundling the full ITS stack for operators with more than 50 vehicles. Connexionz serves government-run transit agencies and ferry operators across 13 US states plus its home market of New Zealand, with named customers including Yakima Transit, City of Corvallis Transit, StarTran (Lincoln, NE), Pigeon Forge Mass Transit, SolTrans, Muskegon Area Transit System, Valley Transit, MTA Flint, NYC Ferry, and NY Waterway.

The business operates on a quote-based enterprise sales model with multi-year contracts, monetizing through a combination of software licensing and subscriptions, proprietary hardware sales (onboard units, signs, cameras), and implementation and managed services delivered by a Customer Success Team with 24/7 backup. The company is publicly listed on the USX trading platform under ticker CNX, domiciled in New Zealand (Connexionz Pvt Ltd) with a US West Coast office in Santa Clarita, CA, and is led by an independent board of directors including Executive Chair Tony Kan and Chair Allan Dawson. The company has been operating in the transit technology industry since 1996 and reports better than 99.99% cloud uptime, proprietary hardware with Mean Time Between Failures greater than 10 years, and operational scale of over 1.3 billion GPS locations and 32 million passenger trips annually across its customer base.
