| Name | Role |
|---|
| Christiaan Delport | CEO |
| Bongani Benedict Nyathi | Senior Manager — Project System Assurance & Interface |
| Alerise Van Ster | Senior PM — GSM-Rail FRMCS Telecoms (Gauteng) |

- Fragmented QA & ISO evidence — Scattered across disparate systems, no unified oversight
- Manual processes — Paper-based records, data entry errors, lost documentation
- Audit delays — Prolonged prep times for ISO surveillance audits and PRASA audits
- Subcontractor risks — Difficulty monitoring welding certs, safety qualifications across sites
- Multi-site complexity — Simultaneous projects in Western Cape, KZN, and Gauteng
- Tender defensibility — Need verifiable, transparent compliance records for public sector bids
| Regulation | Relevance |
|---|
| OHS Act & Construction Regulations | OHS file required on every site; construction work permits mandatory for large projects |
| Draft Construction Regulations 2024 | New regs published March 2025, signalling tighter enforcement |
| CIDB Registration | Must maintain Grade 9 with ongoing compliance |
| Railway Safety Regulator (RSR) | Rail-specific safety oversight for all PRASA projects |
| DMRE/MHSA | Mine Health & Safety Act for mining division |
| POPIA | Data protection compliance for employee and contractor records |
| ConformEdge Feature | Maziya Need | Impact |
|---|
| Multi-standard IMS (9001 + 14001 + 45001) | They hold all three — need integrated management | Eliminate duplicate audits, shared evidence |
| AI document classification | Evidence scattered across projects/regions | 3-second classification vs 15-30 min manual |
| Work permits (7 types) | Hot work for rail welding, confined space for culverts | Digital PTW with safety checklists |
| Incident management + statutory forms | OHS Act mandatory recording | 5-Whys RCA + SA DHET statutory PDF |
| Subcontractor compliance portal | Multiple subcontractors, welding cert tracking | Self-service upload, auto-expiry alerts |
| Audit pack generation | ISO surveillance + PRASA audits | One-click PDF compilation |
| Gap analysis & CAPA | Proactive non-conformance management | Real-time clause coverage visibility |
| Mobile/PWA | Multi-site field teams in WC, KZN, Gauteng | Offline access, camera, signature capture |
| DMRE/MHSA framework | Mining rehabilitation division | SA-specific regulatory compliance |
- SHEQ Officer Replacement Cost: R57,339/mo average salary. ConformEdge at R8,499/mo = 85% saving vs hiring additional compliance staff
- Audit Prep Time: 85% reduction (from weeks to hours for audit pack compilation)
- Admin Burden: 30-50% reduction in compliance administration effort
- Tender Defensibility: Verifiable, timestamped compliance trail strengthens public sector bids
- Multi-Site Visibility: Real-time dashboard across all 3 regions (WC, KZN, Gauteng)
Maziya may be evaluating or using:
- MyEasyISO (Effivity) — 20+ years, 7,500 customers, but no SA-specific compliance (no DMRE, no POPIA, no statutory forms)
- SHEQX (EHS software) — R500/user/mo, no AI classification
- IsoMetrix — Enterprise EHS, R1,850/user/mo — expensive for their scale
- Manual spreadsheets — Most likely current state
ConformEdge advantage: AI classification, IMS Union-Find engine, SA regulatory frameworks (DMRE/MHSA, POPIA), construction-specific features (work permits, incident statutory forms), and 60-80% lower per-user cost than IsoMetrix.
- Confident but respectful — The platform is built, deployed, and proven
- Construction-fluent — Use their language: site inductions, PTW, toolbox talks, welding certs, OHS file
- ROI-focused — Lead with business impact, not features
- “This is not a concept. This is deployed and running.”
- “One platform for 9001 + 14001 + 45001 — one document can evidence multiple clauses”
- “Your field teams get a mobile app that works offline on construction sites”
- “AI classifies a 24-page safety management plan in 3 seconds”
- “One click generates your complete audit pack — no more week-long scrambles”
- Do not reference the PRASA tender controversy — frame around “regulatory scrutiny in the current environment” if compliance urgency comes up
- Do not oversell features that aren’t built (everything in the demo is real)
- Do not compare directly to their current tools — ask what they use first
