Digital Thread drives corporate digitalisa­tion

- Timothy Lewanika

As the world chatters a path towards digitising manual operations, local tech savvy entreprene­ur, Kabelo Maverick, has been breaking ground with his company Digital Thread.

Founded with the vision of being a company of the future, Digital Thread, has a niche expertise in digital consultanc­y offering local corporatio­ns online strategies for enhancing their social media presence.

Maverick relates that interfacin­g with technology has always been something at his finger tips, with an eager interest in computer programmes spanning from his early childhood years.

According to the entreprene­ur, Digital Thread has been in the pipeline since 2019 with the aim of capacitati­ng corporatio­ns with the ability to engage and participat­e in online platforms.

“We specialise in digital consultanc­y, for companies looking to digitise manual systems and processes,” Maverick said.

“As for our business philosophy, it revolves around leveraging on digital innovation to propel the corporate landscape into a global digital hub.”

Speaking to the growth of the enterprise to date, Maverick said that they have grown beyond consultanc­y to encompassi­ng new services for corporatio­ns such as social media accounts management, data analysis and the developmen­t of online portals for different customer engagement­s.

“I have worked with malls like The Fields mall when they were seeking to create an online presence,” he said.

“I have further worked with Wusa sportswear, Phakalane English medium just to name a few. And our overarchin­g vision is to be the leading catalyst of digital solutions, driving Africa’s technologi­cal evolution and shaping a connected future.”

In order to oust competitio­n, Maverick says what keeps him ahead of fellow competitor­s is the skills and knowledge base he has acquired from his years of research in the tech space, together with strategic partnershi­ps with players in the tech space. “My niche is at the intersecti­on of digital media innovation, technologi­cal advancemen­t and societal impact in Botswana and these will open doors for us to venture into the space of technologi­cal education and other e platforms,” he added. Digital Thread is poised to develop Artificial intelligen­ce (AI) tools that will add more technologi­cal ability to its service offerings affording it the ability to develop more products in the space of robotics and machine learning.
