The challenge

Your skills data is scattered, your audits are manual, and your compliance risk keeps growing.

Most Human Capital teams know exactly what they'd do with clean, real-time workforce data. Few have it. Instead, skills information is spread across HR, training and performance systems — and every EEA, B-BBEE and POPIA reporting cycle turns into a scramble.

Manual audits drain your team

Skills audits eat hundreds of hours a year — time your Human Capital team could spend on people, not spreadsheets.

Compliance risk keeps rising

EEA, B-BBEE and POPIA reporting requirements are unforgiving, and they change often. One gap can cost you at verification.

Fragmented, untrusted data

HR, training and performance systems each hold a piece of the picture. Nobody has the whole view — or trusts the numbers they do have.

People leave when growth stalls

Without clear mobility and development pathways, your best people go looking for growth somewhere else.

Why SolveSA

We know skills data feels like it lives in five systems and nobody trusts any of them. That's exactly why we vetted a platform that fixes it.

SolveSA has spent more than 15 years helping South African businesses turn transformation obligations into real, measurable outcomes. We don't build software ourselves — we've scrutinised and vetted a Skills Intelligence platform, coordinated and supported by us, that brings that same discipline to workforce capability: unifying your data, automating the admin, and keeping you compliant, so your Human Capital team can focus on people, not paperwork.

How it works

One connected cycle: build, assess, analyse, act.

The Skills Intelligence platform replaces disconnected, once-a-year audits with a continuous, data-led cycle — so you always know where your workforce stands.

01

Build your framework

Define roles, skills and performance standards — aligned to your business and industry benchmarks.

02

Assess continuously

Run peer, questionnaire and career-pathway assessments that replace manual, once-off audits.

03

Analyse in real time

Live dashboards, heatmaps and benchmarks surface strengths, gaps and risk the moment they appear.

04

Act with confidence

Target training, guide mobility and succession, and report on compliance — all from the same data.

The platform

Everything you need to see, grow and report on workforce skills — in one place.

SolveSA brings you the Skills Intelligence platform as a fully supported, coordinated service — the platform, framework design, change management and help desk — delivered through vetted specialists and managed by us.

Skills framework development

Bespoke role and competency frameworks covering technical, professional and soft skills, aligned to your industry and business strategy.

Automated skills assessments

Peer, questionnaire and career-pathway assessments replace manual audits with regular, data-driven evaluation.

Dashboards & analytics

Real-time gap analysis, heatmaps, benchmarks and workforce-planning insight, from individual to enterprise level.

Legislative & compliance reporting

Automated, audit-ready reporting aligned with B-BBEE, EEA and POPIA — built into every measurement cycle.

Learning content mapping

Connect your existing HRIS and learning platforms so training spend is always aligned to real skills gaps.

Training, enablement & support

User training, adoption campaigns and a dedicated customer success team, from rollout through to day-to-day use.

Integrates with the HRIS, learning and identity platforms you already use, so skills data flows in and out without duplicate admin.
