Tonies
About Tonies
The Toniebox, an innovative, colourful audio cube for easy playback of audio stories and songs with a creative family of characters that encourages listening and promotes haptic play and experience.
For the development, ‘Tonies’ were looking for a strategic partner to support them in their product development. The collaboration began in the area of our core expertise, radio and antenna development. After the successful completion of the first joint projects, ithinx gradually took over responsibility for the further development of the Toniebox’s embedded hardware and software. But always with the aim of supporting the Tonies in building up their own expertise and teams.
How did ithinx help
Due to global supply chain problems that arose in 2021 and the resulting limited availability of the WiFi modules used, ithinx’s development work also included the very short-term realisation of an alternative, market-ready solution to ensure the Toniebox’s continued ability to deliver to the market.
“Our own market success was a challenge that we could not overcome with our own resources alone. ithinx provided us with excellent support during this time and played an important role in the recent hardware and software modernisation measures.”
