About Vconnecta
Vconnecta is a mobile solutions specialist based in Cork, Ireland, developing
both proprietary white-label custom builds and a flagship political canvassing
application called Ecanvasser.
Vconnecta works with a wide variety of clients, including politicians and political
parties, campaign groups and lobbyists, and anybody else needing a way to
relay live data from doorstep to dashboard.
Our applications rely on a proprietary geolocation API to relay information live between
users of the application and a Cloud-powered dashboard, where campaign managers
can oversee and plan the execution of an action.

2. Brendan Finucane Profile
Brendan Finucane was born in Cork City, Ireland. He is a graduate of
Business Information Systems (BIS) at University College Cork and came
up with the idea for Vconnecta during final year course-work for the
degree.
Brendan combined his keen interests in political and mobile technology to found a
company whose primary product (Ecanvasser) provided a substantive technological
improvement in the way politicians conducted door to door canvassing.
Prepared Quotes
Vconnecta technology:
“Vconnecta makes community engagement more efficient and user-friendly.
Executing door to door campaign strategies should not mean relying on technology
better suited to the last century.”
“Our proprietary geolocation API drives data direct from doorstep to dashboard. The
days of sticking pins into planning maps to track geography engagement deserve to
be confined to the dustbin of history.”
Environmentalism:
“Vconnecta is committed to helping organizations make a positive impact on the
environment. By digitizing the myriad of offline, paper-based systems that
characterized the back-office of yesteryear, Vconnecta helps organizations move
forward without compromising on their carbon footprint. ”
