Not Just Another Agency

All expertise | Zero ego

About Connex

At Connex, we’re passionate about using technology to dramatically improve people’s lives and businesses.

See, here’s the thing. We believe that technology should work FOR people, not the other way around. Technology should make life simpler, not more complex.

That’s why we focus on workflow and process automation. We love being able to take tedious, complex processes and transform them into automated, efficient, highly productive processes.

Your needs are our priority!

We’re happiest when we’re solving our client’s stickiest, most frustrating problems.

We’re not a custom software developer agency.

Rather, we’re a custom solutions agency that customizes off-the-shelf software products to deliver high-quality solutions to our clients. We have a lot of expertise using a lot of different tools, and this allows us to always choose the right tools for the job.

We also pride ourselves on maintaining low overhead, which allows us to deliver cost-effective solutions to our clients.

We’re remotely distributed, with employees located around the world.
Sometimes we get together and party, but most of the time we stay in touch using tools like Slack and Zoom.

How We Started

Connex was started in 2010 by Paul Kortman. After a number of years of offering digital marketing services and SEO Linkbuilding, the company shifted its focus exclusively to workflow automation and process systematization.

Regardless of what we’ve looked like, our mission has always remained the same: to improve our client’s bottom line while also constantly providing superior service.
