Company mission
Kantan's mission is to change the lives of tradespeople by giving them the tools to succeed in a competitive marketplace. It does this with an app which helps users serve customers, manage operations and source work.
Our take
Kantan was founded to help tradespeople by giving them the means to excel in an increasingly competitive and digital marketplace.
Kantan's platform helps users identify the right jobs by providing new leads, helps manage customer relationship and coordinate jobs at the tap of a button, and effortlessly manage businesses by compiling job sheets, invoices, and payments all from the same app. They have partnered with major energy companies including OVO energy, SSE, and Corgi.
Kantan's introduction of a direct to consumer marketplace aims to revolutionise the £45 billion home maintenance marketplace and support the green revolution by bringing smart digital experiences to an underserved industry.
