Overview

Argility Technology Group (ATG) is a South African enterprise software and data analytics company with over 35 years of experience building and supporting complex software solutions for retail, supply chain, and financial services sectors. Founded in 1987 and headquartered in Johannesburg, Argility was acquired by Smollan in 2022 and has since operated as part of the Smollan Group's data and technology portfolio.

In March 2026, Smollan launched Smollan Technologies, a unified entity that brings together seven specialist technology companies -- Argility, DataOrbis, Cquential, Chirp, FleetDomain, Mediametrics, and Skydata -- into a single integrated business. The collective operates with 300+ data and technology specialists across three continents, focused on retail, FMCG, and financial services.

Argility serves insurers, banks, retailers, and consumer goods manufacturers with enterprise application software, data analytics, and Google Cloud managed services. For the insurance sector specifically, Argility provides business applications for long-term insurance and employee benefits administration, as well as Single Customer View (SCV) solutions that help insurers consolidate policyholder data.
