What we do for manufacturers
Ten services in three groups, from the governance foundations to the plant floor. Most clients start with one and add the others as trust builds.
Governance and strategy
IT governance
We put practical IT governance policies and procedures in place so that your business meets its legal and regulatory obligations, including POPIA, the Companies Act and the parts of King IV that apply to a smaller company.
IT strategy
We create or review your IT strategy so that every IT investment supports where the business is going, with a plain-language roadmap the owners and the plant can both follow.
IT operational management
We run your day-to-day IT operations so you can focus on your core business: patching, backups, licensing, vendors and the monthly report that tells you it is all under control.
Support and Microsoft 365
Desktop and infrastructure support
Business-hours desktop, server and network support with a helpdesk that logs and tracks every issue to closure, and after-hours escalation for plants that cannot wait until morning.
Microsoft 365 administration and migration
We move your on-premises Exchange and file servers to Microsoft 365 (formerly Office 365), secure the tenant, and administer it afterwards.
System analysis and development
We analyse your processes and build software that fits the way your business actually works, delivering in weeks rather than months.
Manufacturing systems
DynamicPlantMesh
We specify, install and run the plant-analytics layer: DynamicPlantMesh connects your OPC-UA, OPC DA and MQTT equipment, records it at high frequency, and gives you live trends, event timelines and KPIs your own engineers configure.
DBS Invenio
With more than 20 years on the plant floor behind it, DBS Invenio is where the applications that run your operations get built: agents write them against the data you already have, every model call is metered and permissioned, and a person promotes before anything goes live.
DBS AMS
Inspection rounds, defects and risk over the maintenance system you already own: a round runs on a phone with no signal, and a finding arrives in your system of record as a properly coded notification without anyone retyping it.
Technology risk assessments
Our Technology Risk Assessment Framework objectively identifies the technology risks in your business and quantifies their potential impact, so you know when and where to reinvest.
How an engagement starts
Start small, prove value, then grow
A conversation
Thirty minutes to understand your plant, your systems and what is keeping you up at night.
An assessment
A short, fixed-price look at your technology, its cost and its risk. You keep the report whatever you decide.
A first project
Usually the thing that hurts most: a migration, a governance gap.
Ongoing support
Helpdesk, monitoring and a monthly report, with escalation for the days the plant cannot wait.
