🔬 Founded 2018 · Johannesburg, ZA

Data Surgery Consulting was built on one simple truth — bad systems and bad data slow businesses down.

We work with companies to design and build data systems, applications, and reporting platforms that remove inefficiencies, improve decision-making, and support growth.

No generic solutions. No unnecessary complexity. Just systems that work, scale, and give you clarity.

Client Results

01
Property Management
Salt & Light
Managing a 38-property portfolio across 23 separate Excel files with no single source of truth. Month-end reporting took 4 working days, formula errors were discovered every close, and leadership had zero visibility until the report landed in their inbox — days late.

Logistics & Supply Chain
Asterism Tshak
Orders were placed and tracked entirely over WhatsApp group chats. There was no order history, no delivery confirmation trail, and no way for management to see what was outstanding at any moment. Missed orders were discovered only when clients called to complain.

Fleet performance, fuel costs, and inventory levels lived in 14 separate reports built by different people in different formats. No executive could answer basic questions — cost per delivery, fleet utilisation, stock turnover — without waiting for someone to manually pull the numbers.
