“For deskless workforces, WhatsApp is the only channel that actually reaches them. Grapevine keeps your teams informed and engaged – wherever they are, on the device they already use every day. Fewer errors, faster decisions, and a workforce that’s always in the loop.”

72% of South Africa’s workforce – approximately 18.75 million people – are deskless and largely unreachable by email or desktop tools. 27% cite unclear communication with managers as a significant workplace stressor.
