Argility was formed in 2007 and tasked with expanding the group's footprint in the global retail software sector. Global operations are directed from the company's offices located in South Africa, the UK and the USA.
In April 2010 UCS consolidated by merging four of its operations and moving them into the Argility stable. The result is a newly expanded Argility with ownership of the group's Intellectual Property (IP) and tasked with distributing it globally. Argility is now an end to end product development company covering the entire retail landscape. The company is SA's market leader in retail solutions holding 13 of the country's top 15 largest retailers as customers. Argility's applications run in over 15,000 stores and touch over 20 million consumers every month.
In 2010 Argility entered into an exclusive global collaborative agreement – in the retail sector -with Cordys– a world leader in the provision of software for business process innovation. The partnership provides Argility with access to Cordys multi-billion Rand investment in cloud and Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) based Business Operations Platforms (BOP).
The result is an innovative market offering consisting of comprehensive retail solutions that can couple Business Process Management (BPM) to the Argility developed in-store solutions or incorporate Argility Intellectual Property to new solutions developed on this platform. These and existing retail point solutions are predominantly taken to market through channel partners.
