About us

Turaco Business Logix was established in 2012 by Norman Mundell after leaving a large national vehicle tracking and fleet management company where he was the IT director for over 16 years. He was responsible for the national infrastructure as well as software development. He also was part of the team that developed and implemented the first real-time, GPRS based vehicle tracking solution in the country when GPRS (2G) was first released in 2003.

Prior to this Norman worked at the CSIR as an engineer and Project Manager on a variety of cutting-edge developments including various community-based voice and wireless Internet solutions; the development of a national low data rate, mass coverage communication system using RDS on FM radio (prior to the advent of GSM) which could be used for stolen vehicle recovery using RDS as the means of activation, differential GPS services and billboard advertising; the development of an inter-coach infrared-laser based Video, Audio and Data passenger security system for Metrorail; and the development of a low-cost manufacturing process for 94GHz Gunn diodes (built on prior attempts by the CSIR and University of Pretoria).

Turaco's exciting journey started with the development of unique inter-modal shipping container tracking and monitoring solutions in conjunction with Protea Coin, a security company responsible for Transnet Freight Rail container security for containers being transported by rail and road between ports and inland depots. In this challenging environment Turaco's offerings evolved and expanded, initially into real-time, ultra-reliable, online asset and fleet management, and later on into the development and implementation of bespoke, real-time Operational Intelligence products and solutions for mining, industry, government and business.

These solutions encompass advanced fleet management, RFID access control and asset management, real-time electrical infrastructure monitoring and anti-cable theft solutions, mine train tracking, collision avoidance systems, truck cabin and open cast mining environmental monitoring, process monitoring and more recently AI Camera based object detection solutions.

The Turaco team has a vast wealth of experience when it comes to asset, people and vehicle tracking, monitoring and management, and in developing and supporting products and bespoke Operational Intelligence solutions utilizing a variety of commercially available or custom developed IoT and other related modern communication and sensing technologies.
