Reckon Limited makes strategic investment in Connect2Field

Australian software specialist Reckon Limited has today announced that the company has made a strategic minority investment in a new Australian cloud-based solution, Connect2Field.

Connect2Field is a cloud-based job management and scheduling application designed for small to medium sized businesses with field staff, such as electrical repairs businesses, plumbers and other trades services. By using the application both the field worker and the office staff can easily manage jobs and improve customer service. Job management, job notification, invoicing and quoting are key features of the software. It is intended that Connect2Field will remain an independent vendor and continue to be agnostic in relation to any accounting system to which it might connect.

“This provides yet another useful add-on for our customer base,” said Clive Rabie, Group CEO, Reckon Limited. “Many of our small to medium sized customers that have field workers may find this a useful complement to their current set-up.”

“Field service businesses are ideal candidates for Cloud-based software, and Reckon is an ideal partner for our future ambitions.” said Steve Orenstein, Founder and CEO of Connect2Field.”

Significant business growth over the last year encouraged the Connect2Field board to seek a large equity investor to help accelerate their growth and enable them to enter the international market.

“I talk to SaaS start ups literally every day. What excites me about Connect2Field is that it brings all the benefits of Cloud Computing to Ma and Pa businesses,” said Ben Kepes, Global Cloud Computing Analyst. “Steve has built an impressive business already and this additional funding, alongside the credibility of a well known and publicly traded company like Reckon, will help accelerate that growth.”
