8 THE INCOMPAS SHOW I NOVEMBER 2 - 4, 2025 www.bekabusinessmedia.com DAY 2 Connectbase has surpassed 400 million quotes processed through its Connected World platform. This milestone reflects the industry’s accelerating shift toward digital quoting, automation and intelligent supply-demand alignment across global connectivity ecosystems. Connectbase has transformed how connectivity is discovered, quoted and transacted by unifying fragmented data, manual processes and disconnected systems into a single intelligent operating environment. Through its Buyers Cloud, Sellers Cloud and Partners Cloud, Connectbase enables providers, partners and enterprises to digitize their entire connectivity lifecycle — from discovery to quote — across more than 2 billion serviceable locations worldwide. “Surpassing 400 million quotes isn’t just a number — it’s a signal,” said Ben Edmond, founder and CEO of Connectbase. “The ecosystem is digitizing, and Connectbase is where that transformation is happening. We built the OS for Connected Commerce to unify how the industry discovers, quotes, orders, connects and monetizes infrastructure.” The Connected World Platform leverages Connectbase’s proprietary Location Truth and GLID token system, mapping more than 2.2 billion global locations with unmatched accuracy. This digital foundation enables instant quoting and price transparency across hundreds of providers, helping users identify service availability, competitive positioning and optimal routes in real time. “Every quote represents a potential deal, but more importantly, it represents trust,” Edmond continued. “We’re giving providers and buyers a common digital language for transacting connectivity with precision and confidence.” The company’s milestone underscores its evolution beyond quoting into intelligent commerce enablement — combining connectivity data, API-driven automation, and partner collaboration to create an open ecosystem for growth. Through initiatives such as Connected World Live and the Global Provider Directory, Connectbase continues to expand its network of more than 400 global providers and millions of enterprise buyers. p Look for Connectbase CEO & Founder Ben Edmond in the panel “Fix Your Data, Fix Your Deals: Eliminating Chaos in Wholesale Telecom Operations” at today at 9:30 a.m. in the Tampa Bay Ballroom 1.
