“As a result of our Cloud-first approach for our business Apps for more than 10 years already, and the adoption of Google cloud services including G Suite 4 years ago, our employees were ready from day 1 of the lockdown with full access to their digital workplace. Grove has been a key player in our journey and on change management aspects", says Jean-Marc Desvaux.

Gett is a ridesharing app boasting drivers in over 120 cities. It is the largest on-demand car service company by revenue in Europe and is being used by more than 17,500 companies worldwide.

Grove, a cybersecurity reseller and distributor, today announced that IBL Group, a leading international conglomerate in Mauritius, has signed a deal to adopt Mimecast’s cyber resilience solutions. IBL has identified cybersecurity threats as a top business risk for the next years. “African businesses must strengthen their cyber defences in a world that is becoming more and more connected”, said IBL’s Group Information and Technology Executive Laurent Fayolle. “Future proof organisations need to secure their technology ecosystem to protect their finances and data and keep their reputations intact.”

ER24 teamed up with Grove in 2017 to run a Schedule Optimisation pilot in three of their branches in the Western Cape region. Using Grove’s advanced predictive analytics solution the objective of this project was to ensure that ER24 deploy their ambulances at the best time and at the best place to ultimately provide help faster and smarter—a first for EMS internationally! Although the project introduced a new and improved way of working, the overall ER24 business operations did not change. The results clearly showed an increase in branch performance, while maintaining the same amount of staff and shifts. This year, after a successful pilot project, ER24 decided to roll out the new roster nationally over two years. The first version of the revised rosters was implemented in Gauteng and the Western Cape and is now being tested in KwaZulu-Natal as well.
