Since 2012, we have built technology-driven systems that solve real-world operational challenges through automation, connectivity, cloud infrastructure, and intelligent software engineering. What began as a collection of independent projects evolved into a portfolio of scalable platforms spanning data processing, cybersecurity, cloud services, application development, custom API integrations, middleware solutions and AI research designed to help businesses, organizations, and communities operate more effectively in an increasingly connected world.

Turning audio and video streams into community impact
Between 2012 and 2014, we worked with Mutha FM in Cape Town to build a custom Linux-based broadcasting platform that enabled 24/7 live audio and video streaming to a global audience. Using NSV video streaming alongside multiple Icecast MP3 streams, the system significantly extended the station’s reach and showed how open-source technology could strengthen independent media and amplify grassroots voices worldwide. We also redesigned and hosted their website and provided remote support for the studio streaming hardware from Amsterdam, ensuring the system stayed stable and on-air around the clock.

Disrupting gang violence through WiFi connectivity
Between 2014 and 2017, we extended our work into a non-profit initiative in the Nyanga township, located near Cape Town in South Africa, focusing on how connectivity could support communities in high-risk environments. In collaboration with The Safety Lab, Mutha FM, and the City of Cape Town, we developed custom hardware and software to deploy rugged, off-grid outdoor Wi-Fi hotspots. These hotspots used a voucher-based system that provided residents with up to 11 hours of free internet access per day. By combining resilient, replaceable infrastructure with accessible connectivity, the initiative strengthened community engagement, improved access to information, and supported local efforts to reduce gang-related violence.

Data-driven marketing and customer intelligence
From 2017 until 2021, we developed GoFetch from an early SaaS concept into a fully managed data and marketing platform that unified fragmented data sources into a single customer intelligence layer, enabling highly targeted and automated SMS and email campaigns with integrated workflows and third-party integrations; the platform also included hosting, support, custom integrations, middleware solutions and on-site training to ensure effective adoption and optimal user experience, and it was widely adopted across South Africa’s hospitality and retail sectors by clients such as Londolozi, Flight Centre, and Block & Chisel to drive more personalised, data-driven marketing at scale, fully POPIA and GDPR compliant.

From GoFetch to Data Processing Services (DPS)
Following the success of GoFetch, we evolved the platform into Data Processing Services (DPS), drawing on years of real-world experience across hospitality and retail to build a flexible, industry-agnostic data processing ecosystem. Since 2021, DPS has focused on turning structured business data into actionable intelligence through scalable data lakes, custom API integrations, middleware solutions, automated workflows, and advanced campaign segmentation. Unlike GoFetch, DPS was designed as a subscription-based platform for organisations across any sector, enabling them to consolidate fragmented data sources and unlock meaningful operational and customer insights.

Distributed Cloud Security (DCS)
Since 2021, TRIZEd has been building Distributed Cloud Security (DCS) as a SaaS platform focused on intelligent, automated protection for websites, cloud applications, and business-critical infrastructure. The system continuously evaluates incoming traffic using multiple intelligence providers and public reputation databases to identify and mitigate malicious activity in real time. Through deep integration with Linux firewall technologies such as iptables and ipset, DCS enables rapid automated blocking of suspicious IPs across infrastructure, while its REST API-driven architecture supports seamless integration, customization, and scalable deployment. Combined with capabilities such as geolocation analysis, VPN and proxy detection, subnet-level filtering, real-time notifications, and distributed enforcement across connected environments, DCS delivers a proactive and resilient security layer designed for modern cloud ecosystems.

Cyberweerbaarheid: A unified cybersecurity platform

In 2022, TRIZEd developed the Cyberweerbaarheid platform for a client as a subscription-based, multi-tenant SaaS solution designed to unify cybersecurity management. The platform consolidates multiple security services into a single dashboard, integrating Shadowtrackr for attack surface monitoring, Sectico Sitelock for website security, and Acronis for backup and disaster recovery through custom API integrations. This enables centralised visibility of threats, backups, and security operations in one interface, reducing tooling fragmentation and improving overall control and situational awareness. As a proof of concept, the initial implementation focused on validating multi-tenant architecture, cross-platform integration, and unified data visibility.
