A virtual billboard is a technology powered by promoengine. Using virtual billboards any business can place ads, promote coupons/discounts at specific locations in any city. Its like renting a virtual billboard at any location in the country and having your ads or coupons be presented to customers when they are at that location

The promoengine platform allows business owners to create discount promotions targeting end consumers & other businesses. In addition, business owners can create advertisement messages that can be presented to relevant users. Finally businesses can also create "challenge contests" for users to avail certain deep discounts if they are able to meet or beat certain challenge goals. (Example - Spend ₹XXXX in y months and get ABC or buy a burger and fries and get a small drink free)

Using promoengine, businesses are able to engage with new and old customers to drive more transactions.
Once a business owner sets up their business in connectchief and has created coupons, we unlock a special poster/flyer that the business owner can print and display within thier storefront. The flyer looks like this. Using this flyer, every customer visiting the businesses storefront is able to play a "scan and win" game that can help them save money or get access to special promotional offers from the business or its marketing partners.
This approach serves to engage customers, provide them money-saving benefits and also to promote other non-competing but relevant products and services to customers visiting the store

Our vision is to keep building amazing new technologies so businesses using our platform can run better & thrive.

In these modern times, every consumer is an informed consumer. We make most our buying decisions online. Most often, consumers lookup what others think about a product or service before they prospect that business. Your online reviews, speak to how well your business is trusted by others.

The other reason why customers look up a product, service or business online is because they want to know if they are getting a great price for their purchases. With promoengine by connectchief, you too can have a promotions & discounts program like the big box stores. offer discounts to your customers and build loyalty.

Online or brick-and-mortar connectchief helps your business become better aligned with your customers expectations.

We created trustengine because online reviews matter to businesses & to consumers alike. Online reviews help consumers make better purchasing decisions. What matters most to business owners is that the online reviews of their business are transparent & trustworthy

trustENGINE is an independent third-party platform and our goal is to help business owners present their business to target customers in full transparency. We've met hundreds of business owners who struggle to cope with fake reviews on online platforms. Most business owners feel they are not in control of their online reputation and find it extremely hard to flag fake reviews or to manage & respond to customer opinions. What we've found is that even the best businesses can deliver a poor experience sometimes. Good businesses listen and fix their mistakes. A business that listens to its customers is prefered over one that does not. We're here to bring full transparency so consumers can know (through online reviews) how good a specific business is at delivering smiles.

With trustENGINE, we decided to do things differently...

  • To ensure full transparency, we decided to seperate the job of asking for reviews & collecting reviews.
  • The business owner can ask their customers for reviews. Business owners can also respond to reviews they receive on trustENGINE platform. Infact,businesses can even openly incentivize their customers for reviewing them on trustENGINE (we will tag that review as "incentivized").
  • trustENGINE uses it technology & expertise for collecting reviews for the business. We tag reviews as those that come form from verified transactions vs those that do not.
  • The business owner can decide the criterion that determines what makes a verified transaction. As an example, the business owner can require that users upload the image of a 'receipt' or other valid proof of transaction at the time of providing a review. This approach gives real users a voice and helps eliminate fake reviews from clouding out transparency
  • Business owners get one place to manage all their reviews and they can also respond to customer reviews
  • trustENGINE showcases the overall ratings for your business and also showcases the total ratings from verified reviews. At time of collecting customer feedback we require them to demonstrate that they are a real customer with a real experience validated by a purchase receipt, invoice or any other method that proves they are an actual customer of the business.
  • A powerful, technology based solution that allows you to collect customer feedback in-store or online.

trustengine is a complete platform for customer feedback collection and management. Here are two ways we make it easy for you -

  • if you are an online store, we give you full APIs to collect reviews from customers using our platform right from within your website or app
  • If you are a brick-and-mortar store, we provide you tools like QR codes and other branded collateral to capture customer feedback / appreciation or criticisms right while they are in your store.

Fake reviews are a huge problem for businesses.

Fake reviews come from many sources – jealous competitors, disgruntled customers or employees or anyone who may have any reason to benefit from your business not doing well. Fake reviews can misinform customers if not handled properly.

If you are collecting reviews on multiple platforms, its next to impossible to keep pace with the incoming reviews. Collecting reviews on trustengine can help you in many ways -

  • Collect real reviews from real customers by inviting them to write reviews in-store itself.
  • Incentivize real customers to speak their mind from while they are at your storefront.
  • Be in control of your reputation, reply to reviews in real-time, collect a lot of reviews. Record reviews from verified transactions by having your customers give a receipt numbers etc when they write a review.
  • Mitigate fake reviews by being able to challenge 'suspect reviews' on the trustengine platform. Your rating shows up as measured from overall reviews and also from reviews from 'verified transactions'
  • There's even more ways to why trustengine helps you present the truth to customers.

The term flexx working refers to the remote first model of work that is adopted by most startups and small businesses.
Flexible work (aka flexxWORK) encompasses trends and services like work from home, virtual office address services, hot desking, coworking spaces and other approaches to flexible working.

Not all businesses need a permanent office space these days. Internet based or work from home businesses can be run very effectively if the owner subscribes to a flexible working space.

A flexible working space includes the use of a professional address (virtual office address) to receive postal mail and access to professionally managed office facilities (desks, meeting rooms etc) on either a subscription or a pay-as-you-use basis.

The flexxWORK platform is revolutionizing the modern office.

Today, Coworking companies offer flexible office space to their subscribers. However, the subscribers remaain limited to only locations and facilities offered by provider. By being a part of flexxWORK, the providers can expand its offering. They can refer their subscribers to use the faciliteis of any other in-network provider in the same or in a different city on a one-time use basis.

flexxWORK is also enabling office real-estate organizations to behave like co-working spaces by allowing them to offer their long term lease clients the option to roam to other in-network office facilities.

Example: A business owner in Austin may likely have an long-term office lease in downtown Austin or may have subscription at a coworking space. However, when they are heading to Dallas, Chicago or Los Angeles for business, they may need access to one-time or limited-time office spaces in that other city. Through flexxWORK they can reserve any in-network provider's facility for client meetings, conferences or events.

With flexxWORK, subscribers get convenient access and the providers get to promote their services to new prospects and also offer their own customers easy access to office space in other cities anywhere in the world.

Our mission at connectchief is to build technology that supercharges all businesses to run better & grow faster.
In that same spirit we've added flexxWORK, a software within the connectchief platform thats making flexible office space solutions easily accessible for users & providers.

You built a coworking business because you care for the community around you. At flexxWORK we are centered around the concept of nurturing the community too. There are a few benefits to you and your coworking community for using flexxWORK -

  • With flexxWORK Virtual offices you can offer a subscription enabling your clients to receive mail at your coworking location. Subscriptions for virtual offices are not limited to just the users in your community but to anyone who is remote but does business in your city.
  • Once your business is signed up as a flexxWORK service provider, we also provide you a dedicated page on our website to list your business and its offerings so users vising our platform can discover your business.
  • You can even decide to offer one-time use, pay per us or other limited use services to users of flexxWORK who wish you access your facilities like hot desks, meeting rooms or event spaces.

Through flexxWORK we are committed to building a community of users and providers of flexible office spaces so that enterpreneurs have the flexiblities they need to start, build and grow their business.

A virtual office address is an office address in any remote city which you can rent and use it as a business address to receive postal mail and packages. Sometimes, Its also known as a virtual office. Virtual offices have been around for over two decades. In the last few years, with the growth of internet & home based enterprises, more businesses have taken the route of having a dedicated virtual address and pair that up with pay-as-you go or monthly subscription plans to flexible workspaces.

A virtual office is a great solution for most small businesses whose staff is either distributed or spends most of their time outside the office. The growth of home-based and online business enterprises has created a significant need for a virtual address.

A virtual office can come with additional conveniences like receiving your mail digitally, having your packages forwarded to you, a phone number with phone answering services and also options for flexible working space. The virtual office is effectively the ultimate in lowering fixed costs and getting the highest flexibility any business owner can have.

A virtual business address is a real street address at a prestigious office building location where you elect to receive your business mail and packages. It is not a PO box. Unlike a PO Box, a virtual address for a business can give you direct access to your mail as teams of trained administrative professionals scan your mail to be accessed by you online within your flexxWORK app. You also have the option of having the mail forwarded directly to you at an additional cost

If you are a freelancer or if own a business but do not have a physical office, we highly recommend you to get a virtual office. Virtual offices give you a heightened level of security & greater credibility. With flexxWORK you get a professional address and access to a large number of flexxWORKing facilities that you can work out of and host meetings with your clients & business colleagues without having the obligation of a long-term office lease

Virtual office addresses are most often used by people who work from home or businesses that do not maintain a physical location. If you operate a business, in most countries you need a business address and there are too many good reassons why you wouldn't want to use your home address or a P.O. box for a business address.

Virtual office addresses help you seperate your business address from your home address. You do not need to maintain an office space (lower costs), it increases your business' credibility and gives you other benefits like remote work, no commute, increased productivity, working from anywhere, hiring a distributed team, easy expansion, no long-term office commmitments and much more.

Virtual office addresses provide you a prestigious street address for your business as opposed to a PO box number at a mail center. In addition, our technology notifies you instantly when new mail is received so you can review it and decide if you want to go pick it up or request for it to be forwarded to you. P.O. boxes typically only receive your mail. With some of our virtual office locations, there's always someone at the front desk who can sign for a package and you can go pick it up at a later time.

Yes, you can use your home address as your business address. While it may seem to be a zero-cost way of getting started but does carry some risks. The address you choose for your business will be used on everything from your website to your letters. Effectively it will be public and easy to find online. So to maintain a level of security, most people opt for a virtual office service like flexxWORK as opposed to using their home address for business.

With flexxWORK virtual offices, you can receive mail for upto 5 addressees at your virtual office.
More addressees can be added to an existing subscription for an additional fee.

Be sure to review the industry requirements that apply to your specific scenario. Some restrictions may apply to using a virtual office.

Please inquire with the operators directly for details.
