Analytics for the port economy
Durban moves more cargo than any other port in sub-Saharan Africa, and the businesses built around it - freight and logistics operators, manufacturers, distributors and wholesalers - run on operational data that rarely makes it into one trustworthy view.
That is the gap we close. We consolidate transport management, ERP, production and warehouse systems into a governed Microsoft platform, then build the Power BI layer that shows throughput, margin and utilisation as it happens - not three weeks later in a spreadsheet.
Engagements are priced in ZAR, delivered POPIA-aligned, and scoped to what your team can own and maintain after we leave.
Logistics & Freight
Port throughput, fleet utilisation and delivery performance in one view.
Manufacturing
Production, OEE and quality dashboards fed straight from the plant floor.
Distribution & Wholesale
Stock, margin and customer profitability analytics across branches.
Agri & Processing
Seasonal planning and export reporting from intake to shipment.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers about Power BI and Microsoft Fabric consulting in Durban.
Yes - Solv Systems is South African-founded and our consultants work with clients across Durban and KwaZulu-Natal. Delivery is remote-first for pace and cost, with on-site workshops, stakeholder sessions and training in Durban whenever the engagement benefits from being on the ground.
Projects are priced in ZAR. A focused operational dashboard is a few weeks of work; a full reporting estate or Fabric platform is a phased programme. Our South Africa Power BI cost guide on this site breaks down typical budgets by project size.
Yes. We design and implement full Microsoft Fabric platforms - OneLake, lakehouse architecture, pipelines and migration from legacy systems - alongside the Power BI reporting layer. For logistics and manufacturing clients, that often includes real-time operational data via Fabric's Real-Time Intelligence.
POPIA alignment is built into every engagement: data classification, access controls, row-level security and Microsoft Purview governance are part of the design, not an afterthought.
Most engagements begin with a free 30-minute consultation followed by a short scoping phase. For well-defined projects, delivery typically starts within a few weeks of scope sign-off.
