We built Connecteam for real operators - the people running shifts, jobs, and teams across stores and sites. The kind of work that doesn’t happen behind a desk, and doesn’t have time for messy spreadsheets, scattered group chats, or tools that don’t talk to each other.

Connecteam brings daily operations and team communication into one intuitive app - from hiring and scheduling to training, tasks, and day-to-day coordination. It gives teams the clarity and control to run the day, shift after shift, job after job.

Backed by $220M+ from Insight Partners, Stripes, and Tiger Global, Connecteam is rapidly expanding worldwide - empowering frontline teams to work smarter, stay connected, and operate with greater efficiency.
