Umthombo Technologies

At Umthombo Technologies, we help clients improve supply chain performance through practical, data-driven planning and decision support. The company provides project-based consulting services as well as monthly subscriptions for tools it develops and maintains, supporting improvements such as reducing stockouts and excess inventory, improving fill rates, aligning supply and demand, and increasing visibility into overall inventory health. This work focuses on translating inventory data into clearer insight and more robust operational decision-making across complex supply chain environments. Solutions are implemented alongside existing ERP systems, including platforms such as Syspro, Infor, SIGMA and SAP, and make use of data and analytical tools such as SQL, Power BI, Python and R, including AI techniques for forecasting (time-series analysis). Umthombo Technologies works with organisations across industries including mining, manufacturing, distribution, retail, telecommunications and healthcare. Based in Pretoria, South Africa, the company is supported by a team of industrial engineers and can provide services remotely.
