The cost of one missed date

Right now those dates live in Excel. And in one person's memory.

When that person goes on leave, resigns, or simply has a busy week, this is what a single missed date looks like.

The tender you can't bid on

A lapsed BBBEE certificate or tax clearance disqualifies your submission outright. Nobody phones to warn you. You find out when the tender closes.

Weeks of blocked revenue

The site you're barred from

An expired COIDA letter of good standing can keep your team off a client site and hold up payment until it's reinstated.

A fleet standing still

The licence that grounds a vehicle

An expired operating licence risks impoundment and puts you in breach of the contracts that vehicle serves.

A repudiated claim

The permit nobody checked

A driver on an expired PrDP is illegal on the road. If something goes wrong, your insurer can walk away from the claim.

None of these need new software to prevent. They need something that never forgets, never goes on leave, and writes down everything it does.

How it works

Three things, running every day, without anyone remembering to do them.

Step 1

Your register builds itself

Send us the spreadsheet you already keep, or let staff photograph certificates and upload them. Anything that can't be read clearly is flagged by name and never guessed.

Step 2

Reminders that escalate

Alerts go out 90, 60, 30, 14, 7 and 1 day before anything expires. The urgent ones copy in the boss. Renew an item and the ladder resets itself for the new date.

Step 3

The audit answer

A monthly report of every item, every alert, who was told and when. When the auditor asks who knew what and when, this is what you hand over.

To be clear about what this is: Foundry automates the tracking and the alerting. Your team stays responsible for the renewals and the decisions. We make sure nothing slips past unseen.

Who this is for

We'd rather lose the wrong client than disappoint the right one.

This is not for you if

You want a chatbot for your website
You need e-commerce or online store automation
You want content generated at volume
Your business is outside South Africa
You're after the cheapest templated tool on the market

This is for you if

You run a South African business, from one person to 200 and more
Certificates, licences, permits or audits are part of your world
One person currently owns the tracking, in a spreadsheet
A missed date costs you tenders, site access or fines
You want a few things done properly, not many things done cheaply

The person behind it

Built by an operator, not a vendor.

Foundry is run by Melissa. Before building automation, she spent twenty years inside the operations, supply chain and compliance teams of real South African businesses. She has been the person responsible for the spreadsheet with the dates in it. She knows exactly how it slips.

Foundry is deliberately small. A few clients, deep engagement, and one person who knows your business answering the phone. Every system is built around how South African regulated industries actually operate, not adapted from an overseas template.
