Written by Team Skynamo | Mar 30, 2026 11:06:33 AM

Skynamo, the unified sales operations platform built for manufacturers, wholesalers and distributors, has joined Klipboard, a global provider of vertically focused business management software.

The move strengthens Skynamo’s ability to support complex sales and operational environments for nearly 1,000 businesses every day across Sub-Saharan Africa, the UK and the USA, while continuing to expand the platform that facilitates more than $70 million in monthly order value and supports millions of customer interactions annually.

By joining Klipboard, Skynamo gains the backing of a global software group serving more than 55,000 enterprise and SMB customers worldwide. The partnership enhances Skynamo’s ability to integrate more deeply with ERP and business management systems, creating a stronger, more connected technology ecosystem for the distributive industries.

From field sales app to unified sales operations platform

Founded in 2012, Skynamo was built mobile-first to solve real-world field sales challenges. Over time, it has evolved into a comprehensive unified sales operations platform that connects field sales teams, customer ordering, real-time product and pricing data, financial visibility and sales intelligence in one cloud-based environment.

Skynamo is a unified sales operations platform that connects:

  • Field sales teams
  • Customer ordering and self-service
  • Real-time product and pricing data
  • Financial and stock visibility
  • Order management and optimisation
  • Sales analytics and insights

Our award-winning field sales app remains a core product within the platform. It helps reps plan smarter routes, build orders faster, access real-time information, and strengthen customer relationships in the moment that matters. But the bigger story is this: we streamline the entire sales operation.

What joining Klipboard means for our customers

By joining Klipboard, we gain the backing of a global, vertically focused business management software provider serving more than 55,000 enterprise and SMB customers worldwide.

For Skynamo customers, this means:

  • Access to a broader ecosystem of solutions tailored to distributive industries
