The frontline economy is on the brink of a digital revolution.
The technology you need has never been more advanced, accessible, and affordable.
We know true transformation is hard, which is why we created Sona. Learn more about our mission to transform the world of frontline work, and the people and values that will get us there.
Our storyFrontline staff have been underserved by technology for decades. And much of what they currently use wasn’t designed with them in mind.
This often results in operational inefficiency, higher costs, and lots of frustration for staff and managers.
Our mission is to solve the unique challenges of frontline work with technology that empowers every employee.

We want to help progressive employers make work more meaningful for everyone. Together we can realise our vision for the future for frontline work, in which:
Every team member should have access to all the tools and information they need to do the best job possible.
Drastically reducing the number of manual tasks staff have to complete each day frees them up to focus on the things that matter most.
Modern frontline organisations must be set up so they can adapt quickly, embrace change, and enable new ways of working.
We will always be allies and champions of frontline staff and help employers ensure they receive the appreciation they deserve.
We cannot deliver this vision without an incredibly talented and dedicated team. So we’re focused on creating a culture where our people can:
We believe in acting today, rather than tomorrow, so everyone works with urgency to reach our goals without compromising quality.
Everyone should be empowered to do their best work, make decisions for the things they are responsible for, and act on those decisions.
Whether it's internally, or with our customers and partners, we know we can achieve more by working closely together.
Our team is growing quickly and we’re always on the lookout for amazing people who share our passion for building awesome products that make a genuine impact.
