Person reaching for organised documents floating around them

Built for the way work actually happens now.

Most SA businesses are running their records like it's 2010.
And it shows.
You'll recognise at least one of these. Possibly all three.
Person buried in a chaotic pile of paperwork and overflowing boxes
i.

Buried in paper.

Filing rooms overflowing. Staff wasting hours hunting for things. Documents misfiled, mislabelled, or quietly lost forever. The physical records problem hasn't gone away. It's just been ignored.

87% of South African businesses have no formal records system. None.

ii.

Records doing 2010 work in a 2026 business.

Shared drives with no logic. Documents nobody owns. Search that returns the wrong file or no file. Information your AI tools can't see, can't classify, and can't safely use. The systems that made sense ten years ago are quietly costing you now — in hours, in errors, in opportunities.

Knowledge workers spend up to 20% of their week just looking for things. A full day. Every week.

iii.

Compliance you can't prove.

POPIA, PAIA, FICA, sector codes — most organisations are mostly compliant, most of the time. They just couldn't prove it if the Regulator asked, the auditor knocked, or a lawyer started discovery. The risk usually isn't the law itself. It's not being able to show your work.

Maximum POPIA penalty if you can't show yours: R10 million.

What we do

Three pillars. One firm.

  1. 01

    Document & Records Management

    Documents and records, modernised.

    Active documents that move through digital workflows. Records that find themselves. Storage that doesn't slow your team down. And the unfashionable specialist work — vital records protection, hard drive destruction, source code escrow — that the boring stuff still occasionally needs.

    • Document management systems that don't make people cry
    • Climate-controlled physical storage, barcoded and biometrically secured
    • Digitisation, OCR, and search that actually finds the file
    • Workflow automation, e-signature, intelligent capture
    • Named products for named problems — HR docs, KYC, visitor mgmt, fixed asset records
    • Vital records protection, IT asset disposition, long-term preservation

    AI-Ready Records

    Your records, ready for what's next.

    Cleaned up, classified, governed, and safe for the AI tools your team is starting to use. So when you turn on Copilot, it makes you more productive — not more exposed.

    • AI readiness assessments
    • ROT cleanup — redundant, obsolete, trivial records, gone
    • Oversharing and permissions remediation
    • Sensitivity labelling and intelligent classification
    • Records intelligence — what's actually in your archives
    • Copilot governance frameworks
    • Records discovery and eDiscovery, for when things go sideways

    Information Governance

    Governance that runs in the background.

    Policies, retention schedules, an Information Officer function, and the quiet ongoing work that makes compliance feel like a habit, not a project. We watch the regulatory landscape so you don't have to.

    • POPIA, PAIA, and FICA, properly done
    • Information Officer-as-a-Service
    • Records retention schedules with proper legal citations
    • Sector codes of conduct, mapped to how you actually operate
    • 24/7 breach response so a bad day doesn't become a worse one
    • Periodic reviews that keep everything current as the rules shift

Want all of this run for you, by one team, on one bill? That's not a fourth service — it's how you buy the other three. It's called Managed, and it lives on the Packages page.

Built differently,
from day one.

The incumbents store boxes. Compliance consultants give advice. Nobody prices the way we do.

Six reasons. You can stop at three if you're busy.
in no particular order.
we mean it.
  1. 01Four lines on the bill, never more. Governance, software, storage, and one-off jobs — one team, four lines, each priced separately. Don't use storage? You don't have that line. Most firms bundle a warehouse you'll never use into the monthly retainer. We don't.
  2. 02Modern by default. Local cloud, intelligent classification, automated workflows, AI-ready records. Not a clipboard and a fax machine.
  3. 03National. All nine provinces, one consistent standard of service. Same call, same answer, wherever your offices are.
  4. 04Compliance is the floor, not the ceiling. POPIA, PAIA, FICA — handled. Your records then go further than just staying legal.
  5. 05Prices on the tin. Bespoke included. Every tier has a number on the page — including Enterprise, from R55,000/month. No discovery call required to learn what we cost.
  6. 06We treat your stuff the way you would. If you wouldn't leave it on a colleague's desk, we won't leave it on ours.
We speak your language

Five sectors we know cold.

Each one has its own records reality. Mining records outlive the company. Patient records outlive the patient. Banking records are scrutinised by people whose entire job is finding what's missing. We've built our practice around the specifics.

Also serving: Education · Retail and FMCG · Manufacturing · Telecoms and Energy · NGOs and Faith-Based Organisations · Body Corporates and Estate Agencies · Pension Funds and Retirement · Construction and Engineering
