Our Story
From public libraries to small business, the same mission
In 2001, our founders saw a critical gap: communities in under-resourced areas of the Western Cape had no way onto the internet, no way to build a CV, search for work, or reach the information everyone else took for granted. They piloted a thin-client access solution at Athlone Library. It worked, and the City of Cape Town adopted it citywide, still running today as the SmartCape Access Point Project.

City-wide
Adopted by the City of Cape Town
The pilot scales into the SmartCape Access Point Project, still running in libraries today.
Today
That mission becomes ARx Intelligence
The same conviction, technology within everyone's reach, now applied to small business.
