Retail & FMCG Technology

ConnectGroup offers locally developed and affordable software solutions designed to enhance operational efficiencies for manufacturers, agencies, distributors and retailers.

Local Team. Local Solutions.

We don't resell third party platforms, everything we do is informed by what actually happens on the ground: how reps work, how stores operate and where execution usually breaks down. This keeps our technology simple, relevant, and easy to adopt in the field.

A-Grade IT Security & compliance.

Security is not an afterthought; it’s built into how we design, deploy and operate. Our policies align with what large enterprise IT and security teams expect. As a preferred supplier to multiple blue-chip organisations, our focus is on building practical and secure technology for our customers.

Designed to Integrate seamlessly.

Integrate seamlessly with the systems your business already uses through our REST API and ready-to-use integrations. By aligning with enterprise ERP environments, we ensure clean data flow, reduced duplication, and reliable visibility from head office to the field.

Real value, without complexity.

We focus on understanding the real challenges organisations face, then designing practical solutions that are easy to implement and easy to use. We deliver without lengthy implementation cycles or unnecessary complexity.
