Empact Connect

Empact Connect is exclusively designed for employees of Empact (Pty) Ltd. The application provides secure access to company resources while enabling a zero-rated data service through a managed VPN connection.

Designed as a centralized employee platform, Empact Connect allows staff to securely sign in, manage daily tasks, access company systems, and stay informed through internal announcements. By bringing together multiple essential workplace applications into a single, easy-to-use mobile experience, the app simplifies day-to-day operations and improves workforce productivity.


Zero-Rated Data Service:


Empact Connect uses Android's VpnService technology to provide a secure reverse-billing (zero-rated data) service.

We recognize that mobile data costs can be a significant expense for many employees. To ensure staff can access essential work applications without using their personal mobile data, the app securely routes traffic from approved company applications through Empact's enterprise network. This enables data used by these applications to be billed directly to the employer rather than the employee.

The VPN connection is used solely for this reverse-billing function. It only handles network traffic for explicitly authorized, work-related applications.

Employee privacy is a priority. The VPN does not monitor, collect, inspect, or log traffic from personal applications, personal browsing activity, or any non-work-related network usage. The service operates only to provide secure, zero-rated access to approved company resources.


Core Features:


Time & Attendance (ClockingV2)

A secure clocking system that enables employees to clock in and out using facial recognition for identity verification. GPS geofencing ensures clocking can only occur within approved work locations.

Important Information:


The VPN service included with Empact Connect exists exclusively to provide secure, zero-rated access to approved company applications. It is not intended as a general-purpose VPN and does not provide anonymous internet browsing or route personal application traffic. Only authorized Empact business applications use the VPN connection, ensuring employees can access essential work systems without incurring personal mobile data costs while maintaining their privacy.
