Our history
ConnX Business Solutions has been operating for 8 years as a Software Solutions Provider. In 2021 ConnX acquired the reseller TSC Business Solutions upon the Directors retirement. This acquisition added Barcode Scanners, Handheld Mobile Devices, Printers, Labels and Ribbons to our suite of services.
Our Mission
SME’s make up some 99% of all Companies in the UK. And the “S” of SME represents the lions share. Yet they are still under served by Software Companies who are all too keen to focus on developing cumbersome and complex ERP implementations which are beyond the means and requirements of many small businesses.
ConnX was created to cater to just these Companies with the goal of developing powerful business changing software solutions which are affordable and easy to implement.
Our whole team work from home, keeping overheads low, and we conduct most of our work online via Teams. This includes presales, training, and installation as well as ongoing support. By adopting modern business practices, like online working we keep our costs low ensuring our software remains affordable – Modern thinking, built on strong foundations.

ConnX software packs a punch, with powerful functionality in an easy to implement package.
