Your data already has the answer.
We build the pipelines and dashboards that surface it, train your team to find the next one, and keep the IT underneath running: Microsoft 365, domains and day-to-day support. Just one spreadsheet? Run it through our new Drive-through Analytics.

One partner, top to bottom
From the laptop on your desk to the dashboard in your board pack.
Most businesses juggle a separate person for each layer. When the report is wrong, nobody knows if it is the data, the licence, the mailbox or the network. We look after every layer, so there is one person to call and nothing falls between the cracks.
Hover or tap a layer to see what sits in it.

AI news
What changed in AI this week.
A round-up from South African, African and international tech news, refreshed through the day.
How we work
Three steps, no surprises.
- 1
A conversation
A free half-hour call. You describe the problem; we tell you what usually causes it and roughly what it takes to fix.
- 2
A written scope
The work, what we need from you, the cost and what "finished" means, signed before anything starts.
- 3
The work, then the handover
Built, tested on your real data or systems, documented, and shown to the people who will use it.
LaMotheo streamlined our data processes. Decisions that used to wait for month-end now happen in the meeting.
The Power BI training changed how our team looks at the business. People who avoided reports are now building them.
Responsive, practical and honest about what we did and did not need. That is rarer than it should be.
Named references available on request.
What does the first call cost?
Nothing. The first call is a free half hour. You describe the problem, and we tell you what usually causes it and roughly what it takes to fix.
How do you price the work?
Project and support work starts with a written scope: the work, what we need from you, the cost and what "finished" means, signed before anything starts. Drive-through Analytics is pay per report with no subscription. Training is priced per course on the training site, excluding VAT.
We only have one spreadsheet. Is that too small for you?
No. Upload it to Drive-through Analytics and see the data health, headline numbers, trend and top performers in minutes. The first 40% of every report is free, and you pay only if you want the full report.
What happens to a file I upload to Drive-through Analytics?
Files are deleted after 7 days, and you choose whether the report uses AI wording or numbers only.
Do you work with businesses outside Gauteng?
Yes. We work with businesses across South Africa remotely, and on-site in Gauteng.
Can you train our team on our own files?
Yes. Private classes are built on your own files, for groups of six or more. Scheduled classes have twelve seats or fewer, live online or in Roodepoort.
Can we use just one service?
Yes. Use one service, or let us look after the whole stack. Each one starts with a small first step, such as a licence review, a domain check or an IT check-up.
How quickly do you reply?
Within one working day, usually sooner.
Tell us what is not working.
Data that does not add up, licences nobody can explain, a domain about to lapse, a team that needs training. One call covers it. In a hurry? Run a spreadsheet through Drive-through Analytics and see the first answers in minutes.
