Introduction

Running a business with multiple teams is a very challenging proposition. As such if you have multiple offline teams across different locations, you need a single platform to communicate with all your teams wherever they are.  

Connecteam is one such app. It provides a platform to business owners to connect, train and manage their teams which are on-site and outside the offices. 

Its platform is used by large and small businesses in retail, logistics, security, and other major industrial verticals.
