We empower positive and sustainable change
In 2019, SwiftFox was created by the team at The Red Fox Group, a leading data analytics and tech company. After years of creating tailored solutions for large organisations, we had an idea.
To create one platform that every organisation could use to manage their workflow, store their data securely, and reach and connect with their audience, be they clients, members or government stakeholders.
This is how SwiftFox started, and it's now a valuable tool across many industries, even surprising ourselves along the way.
