South Africa's customer engagement pioneer
1996. It was the year that DVDs were launched in Japan. The year the number of Internet users topped 10 million. And the year eBay made its debut.
It was a big year for consumer technologies.
We should know. We were there. Because 1996 was also the year that FoneWorx was founded.
Remember Fax2Email? Yip, that was us! As long as there has been an opportunity to engage with South African consumers using the latest technology, we have been there, tapping into the trends and bringing these to SA brands and businesses. Today we're part of the Cognition Group, which is part of the Caxton Group.
