Software and IoT built for real operations.
Sethala is a South African-born Technology Service Provider. We build bespoke software that our clients own, and intelligent IoT solutions powered by the Sethala Nexus platform to turn operational data into decisions.
Why Sethala · End-to-end IoT Data Aggregation Platform
Sethala connects the physical and digital worlds.
Technology that moves from software to real-world operations, and back again as data you can act on.
Build
Software, applications, platforms, firmware and bespoke technology developed around real operational requirements.
Connect
Devices, sensors, RFID, assets, equipment and people connected to the systems that need their data.
Operate
Sethala Nexus, cloud infrastructure, integrations, workflows and automation to keep connected environments working.
Understand
Operational data transformed into dashboards, alerts, histories and reports you can turn into action.
Sethala Nexus
The platform behind connected operations.
Nexus is the technology foundation for our IoT solutions. One backbone for devices, connectivity, data, dashboards, automation and business-system integrations. Bespoke software is a separate discipline and is not built on Nexus.
IoT Solutions
Built on Nexus.
Deploy the solution that matches your operational reality: indoor visibility, RFID identification, connected monitoring or outdoor fleet.
MeshTrack
Indoor asset and operational visibility. Know where people, vehicles and equipment are inside your facility, when they moved and how long they stayed.
ExploreTracePoint
RFID-based identification and asset or inventory management. Tag once, then automatically identify items as they move through your operation.
ExploreIDLINK
Connected monitoring for operational environments. Sensors report conditions, states and events to Nexus, so you know what is happening across sites without being on site.
ExploreOutdoor & Fleet
Outdoor location tracking and fleet operations for mobile assets, vehicles and personnel across routes, sites and geofenced zones.
ExploreCustom software development
Software your team owns.
We build custom software and integrations to fit the way your operation actually runs. When the work is delivered, the code and the intellectual property behind it are yours.
Why Sethala
Serious South African technology, delivered.
The reasons customers choose Sethala as their technology partner.
South African engineering
Technology designed and built in South Africa, for the operational environments we live in.
Two disciplines, one team
Custom software development for clients, and IoT solutions on the Sethala Nexus platform. The same team runs both, so cross-discipline projects stay coherent.
Client-owned software
Bespoke web, mobile and backend applications developed for the client and handed over as their own intellectual property.
IoT built on Nexus
Established Sethala solutions or bespoke IoT deployments, all sharing the Sethala Nexus platform so scaling stays coherent.
Device agnostic
Where technically appropriate, IoT solutions avoid locking you into a single hardware ecosystem.
Integration capability
Connect operational technology and business software with the ERP, WMS, CRM and other systems you already run.
Security and governance
Access control, auditability and data protection built into the technology approach from day one.
What we do
Services built around real operations.
Software, IoT design, system integration, cloud and DevOps, plus long-term managed services. The disciplines that turn connected technology into a working part of your business.
Software Development
Custom web, mobile, backend and firmware development. We build software around your operational requirements, not around generic packages.
IoT Solution Design
Device selection, connectivity, sensor integration, gateways and full solution architecture. We design deployments that survive real operational environments.
System Integration
APIs, webhooks and connectors into ERP, WMS, CRM and other business systems. Connected technology becomes far more valuable when it forms part of the business rather than operating in isolation.
Cloud & DevOps
Cloud architecture, deployment, monitoring, scaling and lifecycle support across cloud and on-premise environments.
Support & Managed Services
We support solutions long past commissioning. Managed monitoring, maintenance and continuous improvement so your operations keep running.
Our story
Locally developed. Globally competitive.
Established in 2019 by Rolf Schurink and headquartered in South Africa. Sethala runs two disciplines: custom software development delivered to clients as their own intellectual property, and IoT solutions built on our in-house Sethala Nexus platform.
Custom software partner
We build software around what our clients actually need. Web, mobile, backend and system integrations, developed to fit the operation and handed over as the client's own intellectual property.
Trusted IoT partner
We work with clients to understand operational challenges and tailor secure, scalable IoT solutions on the Sethala Nexus platform that transform how businesses operate.
Data at scale
The Sethala Nexus platform unifies data from devices and turns operational complexity into actionable insight for cost reduction, safety and productivity.
