Elephants, Rhinos & People

Why Elephants and Rhinos?

Why Elephants and Rhinos?Cohenix, a division of EPI-USE, is a member of Group Elephant, which is characterised by a primary strategic imperative in terms of which it goes 'Beyond Corporate Purpose' in its day-to-day activities through a hybrid business model.

The Group has an unconventional approach to philanthropic activity. Rather than implementing a traditional Corporate Social Responsibility program and simply donating funds to charities, in 'Beyond Corporate Purpose' it has a multi-zoned operating model that provides it with a professional, institutionalised delivery capability in the area  of nonprofit activity and impact investment.

The primary focus area is the preservation of at-risk Elephants and Rhinos through the economic upliftment of rural People in areas adjacent to the threatened species, or another definition of 'ERP', if you will.

We didn’t set out to build another ERP system. We built the tool we wished we’d had when we were in your shoes, running a growing business, juggling too many disconnected tools, paying too much, and still struggling to keep things running smoothly.
‍
Some systems were built for big enterprises with big teams and deep pockets. Others were so basic, they didn’t grow with us. Most came with hidden fees, steep learning curves, and features we didn’t need.

So we built something better.
