Challenge: Distributor Takes on More OEMs
Transformed from 3 sales reps to R100m stock holding in 30 months
A South African distributor of international brands took on 5 new OEM product ranges to grow their business but actually reduced their turnover due to loss of focus. We were contracted to improve their processes and marketing. We implemented a quality management system focused on client requirements and OEM expectations, built a complete e-commerce store for over 1 million product codes with ERP integration, and launched a rebranding campaign that included company renaming, marketing materials, and YouTube videos. The 30-month project transformed them from a corner shop with 3 sales reps to a large distribution company with nearly R100m stock holding.

Product selection speed increased by 5x, overall design time reduced by 30%
An engineering design company marketed themselves as the fastest turn-around design firm but only slightly outperformed competitors. Our Consulting team discovered their bottleneck was finding parts with required specifications across 100 suppliers with multiple catalogues. We implemented a locally hosted RAG-based AI system using hardware costing less than R60'000, ingesting 400+ unique catalogues (over 200'000 pages). The AI provided product suggestions based on specifications, speeding up selection by 5x and reducing overall design time by 30%.

Centralized risk management for ISO 27001, 9001, 14001
A client needed help with ISO 27001 implementation when we discovered scattered risk management across Excel files and SharePoint. Different templates, scoring methods, and parties were involved with no overall overview possible. Our **Consulting** and **Technology** teams developed a centralized web application consolidating risk management, associating controls with risks, assigning responsibilities, and requiring evidence uploads. The system linked non-conformances appropriately and allowed auditing planning and tracking, resulting in a CEO-level dashboard showing the company's overall risk stance with monetary values for risks and controls.

Client doubled their turnover after certification
A rail industry client needed IRIS certification for exports to Europe. Our **Certification**, **Consulting**, and **Training** teams assisted with quality management system implementation. We developed procedures and work instructions, provided operator training on special processes such as torque tightening, gluing, sealing, wiring, and harness manufacturing. The successful certification led to new business opportunities and doubled the client's turnover.

High-availability solution for less than R100'000 vs R180'000
A military client needed to self-host applications due to their sensitive work but had an exceptionally small budget for server resources. Multiple outages were causing the company to grind to a halt. Our **Technology** and **Consulting** teams reconstructed their entire server configuration using open-source technology stacks. We implemented 3 mini-PCs with server-level specifications in full redundancy across their 5 facilities. If one server goes offline, the workload seamlessly transfers to another device, with systems back up in under 120 seconds and no data loss (maximum 5-minute loss).

120,000 parts processed in under 20 days
Turn Key Engineering in the rail and military industries was facing part data chaos with their internal ERP system. The system allowed anyone to create new parts, leading to duplicates and parts without detailed technical specifications. Project managers, engineers, and procurement struggled to find correct parts, often receiving incorrect components due to lack of detailed descriptions. Through our **Consulting** and **Technology** pillars, we built a locally hosted AI tool that enriched the parts database with consistently structured data fields, allowing effective filtering and lookup of correct parts.
