Snapplify’s innovative digital solutions have been recognised at GESS Dubai 2023, winning the Higher Education Resource/Equipment Supplier of the Year award. This recognition follows world-class acknowledgement by UNESCO for our work in promoting mother-tongue literacy through our Africa e-Library project.
Our traction in the Higher Education market has grown considerably, driven in part by the pandemic and more broadly by the increasing need for institutions to embrace digital tools and prepare for the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR).
During the unprecedented challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, South African universities faced immense difficulties in providing undergraduate students with access to essential learning resources typically found in short-loan collections at on-campus libraries. With traditional print-based options unavailable, digital solutions became essential to bridge the gap.
Fortunately, our innovative library model, supported by both local and international publishers, proved to be an invaluable resource.
By offering core textbooks via our Engage online platform, we enabled universities to provide students with convenient and reliable access to the resources they needed to navigate their academic journeys successfully.
At Snapplify, we are dedicated to bringing sustainable change to the education sector through innovative digital tools and solutions. Our commitment to exceptional customer care and outstanding service to the education industry remains unwavering.
“We boast a vast collection of higher education resources that directly cater to the unique educational needs of students and faculty alike. Our extensive catalogue features internationally renowned textbooks from publishers such as Cengage, Elsevier, Sage, Wiley, Springer, and OUP, as well as locally sourced content from reputable publishers in South Africa, Kenya, Ghana, and beyond. Amongst these offerings lies a treasure trove of scholarly and research-level material to support the academic endeavours of undergraduate, postgraduate, and faculty members,” says Penny de la Plain, who spearheads our Higher Education portfolio.
Our reader application also features accessibility options such as text-to-speech, large-print, and dyslexia fonts, making learning materials more accessible and reducing barriers to success for all students.
“Our technology is built for education – it’s simple to use and integrates seamlessly with other tools, including hundreds of LMSes, ensuring a smooth learning and teaching experience,” explains de la Plain.
By offering a freemium model on our Engage e-learning platform, we equip institutions with digital learning at their own pace, making it accessible for all budgets. Our partnerships with local and international publishers enable us to maintain a diverse catalogue of nearly a million titles, which continues to grow to meet the curricula requirements of new territories. Our e-library also saves librarians time with easy-to-manage checkout, auto-return functionality, automatic waitlist management, and curated collections.
Thousands of institutions across 30 countries rely on our solutions to promote reading, boost literacy, and build 21st-century skills. With low-data solutions and seamless user experiences, we strive for excellence in all areas of digital learning globally.
With offices across Africa, as well as in Europe, the UK, and the US, we are proud to be the number one Higher Education ebook provider in Africa, working with the continent’s most prestigious universities and TVET institutions, all of which have a strong history of student book purchasing.
