P-Connect™ – An Innovation by People Connect Group (Pty) Ltd
The story of how a South African innovation is transforming workplace management globally
The Foundation
Founded by Lehlogonolo Msuthwana at the prestigious Gauteng Innovation Hub, P-Connect™ was born from a simple observation: traditional access control systems were failing modern workplaces.
The Problems We Identified:
- • Expensive and frequently lost access cards
- • Limited fingerprint scanner capacity
- • Poor communication channels
- • Manual, error-prone attendance tracking
The Breakthrough Solution
The eureka moment: leverage the one device employees always have – their smartphone – for access control, communication, and safety management. No more cards, no more complicated hardware, just seamless integration with existing infrastructure.
"Transform access control into a full-suite employee management & communication system"
The COVID-19 Transformation
When the pandemic hit, P-Connect™ proved its visionary design. We rapidly adapted to include:
COVID-19 Features Added:
- ✅ Digital health screening
- ✅ Contactless check-ins
- ✅ Eliminated manual registers
- ✅ Multilingual support (11 official languages)
Incubated at the Gauteng Innovation Hub in 2020, P-Connect™ rapidly gained adoption among enterprises and government institutions seeking safe, efficient workforce management solutions.
