About
Keystroke

An "Apeeling" History of Growth

Established in 1994, Keystroke began as a regional company specializing in technical sales and services. By 2004, we pivoted towards CRM and web solutions, endorsing Act! as our preferred platform. Our expertise in networking enabled us to efficiently manage and host our clients’ databases, quickly positioning us as the leading Act! reseller nationwide. This led to our recognition as the Act! Master Distributor for Canada and the exclusive Canadian Act! hosting provider.

Our journey to becoming the world’s top Act! Reseller in 2015 was marked by strategic business acquisitions, dedicated effort, and a clear vision. We expanded our team to over fifty Act! consultants across North America. We also ventured into creating Act! add-ons tailored for specific sectors such as wealth management, mortgage brokerage, and technical support.

Business Focus

The acquisition of Contactik in mid-2016, the French distributor for Act!, enabled us to offer bilingual services and establish ourselves as the primary French technical support for Act! in North America. Shortly thereafter, we acquired Handheld Contact, the leading Act! mobile solution, broadening our global distribution network.

In mid-2017, we took over DesignR1, the former world-leading Act! reseller, adding a vast array of add-on products to our portfolio. Consequently, in 2018, we assumed control of the Act! Add-on Store, featuring the most extensive collection of add-ons available (this store was later be handed over to Act!).

Our innovation in custom table technology in 2016 laid the groundwork for what would become Act! Premium Plus. In 2021, we further expanded our product range by acquiring all Act! add-on products from TopLine Results, ASDS, and Effective Solutions. Keystroke now boasts a catalog of over one hundred software solutions.

ImageIn 2019, we embarked on the development of a collection of productivity tools, which would eventually be recognized as Linktivity.net. By 2023, this collection had expanded to encompass eight distinct products, and we were on the cusp of establishing a distribution partnership with Act!.

With offices in Toronto and Kitchener, Keystroke’s nearly thirty employees span across North America and India. Recognizing that our strength lies in our team, we’re proud to introduce you to some of our dedicated members.

The list below is but a few of those we've gathered over the years. If you're a customer with a recent positive experience working with us, please feel free to pump our tires, as well. We'd love to hear from you.
