The Konect Story

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 future

The world has an estimated 20 million field technicians operating worldwide. 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!
