About Us
Why?
Home Services You Can Actually Count On. We’ve all been there: a burst pipe at 8 PM, a flickering DB board, or a handyman who simply never shows up. ClutchConnect was born out of that exact frustration. We believe that finding a reliable tradesperson in South Africa shouldn’t be a gamble.
How?
Bridging the Gap Between Skill and Safety. ClutchConnect is an on-demand marketplace that connects homeowners and businesses with the best local pros. We handle the vetting, the booking, and the secure payments, so you can focus on getting the job done.
Vetted Professionals: Every "Clutch Pro" undergoes a background check and identity verification before joining our network.
Secure Payments: We use Yoco (South Africa’s leading payment gateway) to ensure your money is safe and only released when you’re happy.
We are a 100% South African-owned division of Simile Technologies (Pty) Ltd, dedicated to creating dignified work for local tradespeople.**
