Data platforms for retail HQs and scaling tech companies
Cape Town's data landscape splits two ways. Established retail and financial head offices run mature but fragmented estates - point-of-sale, e-commerce, ERP and supply chain systems that have never shared one platform. Scale-ups have the opposite problem: analytics bolted together at speed that now needs an architecture.
Fabric answers both, and we build it both ways: consolidation programmes that bring trading, stock and finance data into one governed OneLake estate, and greenfield lakehouse builds engineered to grow without re-platforming at twice the size.
For e-commerce clients we integrate platforms like Shopify directly into Fabric's medallion architecture - the same pattern documented in our integration guides - so online trading data lands governed from day one.
Retail & E-commerce
POS, online and marketplace data unified in a medallion lakehouse.
Financial Services & Fintech
Governed platforms with the lineage and controls regulators expect.
Wine, Agri & Manufacturing
Production, export and seasonal data engineered for planning.
Tech & SaaS
Product event data and revenue systems on one scalable platform.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers about Microsoft data consulting in Cape Town.
Yes - Fabric implementation is our core service: architecture design, OneLake lakehouse builds, pipelines, migration and handover. Delivery is remote-first with on-site workshops in Cape Town where being in the room helps.
A foundational implementation is a phased programme measured in weeks; complex consolidations run longer. Our South Africa Fabric cost guide breaks down typical ZAR budgets by project size, including F-SKU capacity costs.
Yes - Shopify, ERP and marketplace integrations into OneLake medallion architecture are a Cape Town speciality of ours. The goal is trading data that lands governed and analysis-ready, not another export-and-reconcile workflow.
Fabric capacity for South African clients is typically provisioned in the Azure South Africa North region, keeping data in-country and simplifying POPIA compliance. Residency is confirmed during architecture design.
Not if it is sized honestly. Fabric starts at small F-SKUs with pay-as-you-go billing that can be paused, so a scale-up can run a genuine lakehouse for less than most SaaS analytics stacks - and never face a re-platforming project later.
