From drawing board to world leading solution, the evolution of the Konect platform and its ground-breaking predecessors, GBM Mobile and GBM Portable, is an attention-grabbing combination of knowledge, experience and insight.
The world has an estimated one billion workers who spend some of their time outside the walls of an office or factory. For them, and for us, the future of mobile data collection will be dominated by emerging and existing technologies. Robotics and drones are becoming the new normal, and the complexities of balancing AI with the human experience is at the forefront of modern thinking.
Konect is accelerating software development and committed to transformational technologies throughout its domestic and international markets. For us, customer expectations, and increasing business success is the future, and it began yesterday!
With traditional methods of acquiring field data often resulting in inefficiencies, poor data quality and compromised work practices and safety, Konect arrives offering unprecedented flexibility, cost savings and productivity.
Highlights include: no programming requirements, on and offline operating capabilities, and easy customisation to meet any customer’s needs.
