Proven Winners introduces ConnectSpace, a platform for IGCs

Proven Winners has launched ConnectSpace, a new intranet platform for independent garden centers (IGCs) as part of its Connect+ marketing program for 2025. ConnectSpace is designed to streamline communication, enhance employee engagement and improve operational efficiency within garden centers.

“ConnectSpace helps garden centers engage their employees in a more efficient way,” said Jessica DeGraaf, director of retail accounts at Proven Winners. “Our goal with Connect+ has always been to bring IGCs resources that will help them grow their businesses in easy ways at a low cost.”

Developed by John and Souny Kennedy of BoomerWrangle, ConnectSpace is tailored to address the training, HR and communication needs of the industry. The platform consolidates essential information such as HR forms, schedules, promotions and training materials into a single, user-friendly interface accessible on both desktop and mobile devices.

“ConnectSpace really accelerates the ability of an organization to become more efficient,” said John Kennedy. “Built exclusively for garden retailers, we’ve spent hundreds of hours developing and refining this tool to best serve the industry.”

The customizable platform allows garden centers to adapt it to their specific needs, with features including an AI chatbot named Daisy to assist users. Resources available on ConnectSpace include training and education materials, HR documents, schedules, promotions, and engagement tools.
