AI business intelligenceCape Town, South Africa

The intelligence layer for your business.

Tennsa OS connects to the systems a business already runs, accounting, inventory, email, payments and banking, and reads them as one. Every morning it produces a briefing: what changed overnight, what is at risk, and what to act on first. Anything it surfaces can be investigated in plain English, answered from the company's own data rather than guesswork. It is built in Cape Town for South African operators, with connectors into Sage, Pastel, IQ Retail, Xero, Yoco, PayFast, Ozow, SnapScan, Peach Payments, Netcash, Stitch and Zapper.
