Power BI & Microsoft Fabric consulting for Durban businesses.
Senior consultants working with KZN manufacturers, logistics operators, port and freight-forwarding businesses. Remote-first delivery, on-site Durban workshops when they earn their keep.
Where our Durban work lands
KZN's industrial base is manufacturing, port and logistics — heavier ERP estates, more shop-floor and freight data, longer-lived Sage Evolution and SYSPRO installs than Gauteng or the Cape. Our engagements reflect that.
Manufacturing & automotive supply chain
SYSPRO and Sage Evolution ingestion into Fabric OneLake. Production KPIs, OEE, downtime, scrap and quality dashboards on a Direct Lake model.
Port, freight & logistics
Container throughput, dwell time, fleet utilisation and clearing/forwarding profitability — pulled from TMS, WMS and ERP into one governed lake.
Sugar, chemicals & distribution
Multi-site consolidation, margin analytics and stock reporting for KZN's process manufacturers and regional distributors.

Frequently asked questions
Do you work with Durban clients on-site?
Delivery is remote-first over Microsoft Teams — the same senior consultants you'd meet in a Umhlanga or La Lucia boardroom, without the flight down. For KZN clients we do travel for kick-off, model reviews and executive readouts when the value is real; day-to-day build is remote.
Which Durban industries do you typically work with?
KZN's economy is heavy on manufacturing, logistics, port and freight-forwarding, sugar and chemicals, and automotive supply chain. Our Power BI and Fabric work in Durban is concentrated on production KPIs, port/freight throughput, SYSPRO and Sage Evolution ingestion, and consolidating multi-site operations across KZN's industrial belt.
Can you help with Sage Evolution / SYSPRO reporting for KZN manufacturers?
Yes — this is one of the most common patterns we build in KZN. We connect directly to Sage 200 Evolution and SYSPRO databases (via the on-prem data gateway or Fabric Data Factory), model the data in a medallion Lakehouse, and expose a Direct Lake semantic model that Power BI reads at Import-mode speed with no refresh cycle.
How fast can a Durban business get a Power BI dashboard live?
A first production dashboard on one clean source lands in 2–3 weeks. A full Fabric OneLake + Direct Lake footprint with SYSPRO or Sage ingestion is 6–10 weeks. Fixed-fee, quoted after a free scoping call.
