we’re changing the way you do business

community engine harnesses the power of social networking to facilitate respectful community-based commerce. We’re putting powerful social commerce tools in the hands of every Australian small business and community organisations. We’re connecting them in an online marketplace which will create a 
fundamental shift in the relationship between business and consumer.

we are about people and their interests

We believe the internet is about people, not webpages.

These people may run a business, a store or provide a service. They may organise events and programs for schools, sporting clubs or community organisations. All of them have their own passions and it’s these interests that create the community graph, the ‘community intelligence’ on which our recommendation network is based.

connect, communicate, transact

community engine is a place for people to connect, communicate and transact, based on their interests. It is, in essence, a return to village life, but in a modern way. A place of discovery, not just search. A place of recommendation, not advertising. 
A place where relevance rules and people are connected to their passions.

community engine is the place online where you will connect and transact as simply as you would at your local shops. Because you’ll be dealing with the businesses and community organisations that mean the most to you.

  • You choose if you recommend, interact, join, buy, share, donate, participate – it’s your community engine.
