About Us:

Innovapptive is a category-defining SaaS company building the world’s most advanced AI-powered Connected Worker Platform for the industrial sector. Headquartered in Houston, TX, and backed by Vista Equity Partners, Innovapptive is on a mission to reimagine how industrial work gets done — connecting frontline workers, back-office systems, and assets in real time to drive higher safety, reliability, and productivity.

Our platform is trusted by some of the world’s largest enterprises — including Shell, Hess, Cenovus Energy, W.R.Grace, Westlake Chemicals, UNICEF, Kimberly Clark, Scott Miracle Gro, and Newmont Mining to name a few, and across chemicals, energy, mining, and manufacturing industries. These customers have achieved tangible, hard-dollar results, such as:

• Over $40 million in annual EBITDA savings at a single enterprise.
• 10× frontline productivity improvements through mobile-first and AI-enabled workflows.
• 15–20% maintenance cost reductions and significant uptime gains across plants and sites.

Innovapptive is recognized by leading industry analysts for its differentiated value creation model:

• Named a Leader in the Frost & Sullivan Industrial Connected Worker Radar.
• Featured by Gartner in “Connected Factory Worker” research and the Hype Cycle for Manufacturing Operations Strategy.
• Cited by LNS Research for delivering 3–5× greater value than point solutions through unified OT–IT execution, AI/vision innovation, and field-proven ROI.

Our growth is backed by Tiger Global Management and Vista Equity Partners, one of the world’s premier software investors, known for scaling high-performance SaaS companies. Together, we are building the next-generation AI Powered Connected Worker Platform, combining cutting-edge technologies — SLM’s, Generative AI, Computer Vision, and Intelligent Orchestration — into a unified system that transforms plant operations globally.

Today, with over 300+ employees across the U.S., India, and ANZ, Innovapptive stands at a pivotal inflection point: with an ambition to scale to $100M ARR within the next 3-4 years by industrializing every aspect of our product, engineering, and customer delivery systems.
