Camsecure restructuring broadens scope

Over a two-year period Camsecure has tripled in size and turnover, prompting the company to restructure its operations. This projects-based security solutions company was formed almost 10 years ago and provides open platform technological solutions to its client base throughout Africa using off-the-shelf IP equipment.

“We have reached and even surpassed all the goals we put in place when we started out as a small, three-person organisation,” says MD, Francois Malan. “As the demand for our IP surveillance services has grown, we have continually hit new milestones over the last 10 years. In order to continue our growth and achieve high service levels, we identified key focus areas within the company that we have streamlined. We have also implemented some ground-breaking procedures that have improved our operational efficiency.

“We have identified the key areas in our business and given trustworthy people the responsibility to manage these areas. We have put in strict systems and software to monitor and audit all levels of our business and we feel extremely confident that Camsecure is more than adequately geared for any work that may come our way.

“We have a very strong board of directors in place, headed by our chairman, Sipho Mseleku, formerly chairman of the SADC Business Chamber. Camsecure has also achieved a high BEE rating. Under the new structure we have Danie Malan, formerly deputy president of the National Olympic Committee, as CEO; Francois Malan as MD and William Muller as GM,” Malan says.

“The rest of our organisation currently resides under three pillars, administration, operations and sales. The main additions to our administration department are a financial manager, Anita Peters; human resources manager, Alice Mothiba; and legal compliance and safety manager, Gerhard Vorster,” notes Malan.

Operations manager, Theuns Brits, heads the operations division and a number of senior technicians of various grades report to the projects manager, Christo Deysel. The sales regions operate under Western Cape regional manager, Vivian de Meillon and Northwest Business development manager, Frans Deysel. The rest of South Africa and the African region operate from Camsecure’s Johannesburg head office.

The company concentrated on its project management and customer relationship offering and determined that it needed to address its policies and procedures from a legal and organisational perspective. “This was followed by an overview of our operational procedures to ensure that we have all the checks and balances in place to continue providing a superior product and service offering. This forms part of our vision to deliver high-end project management packages to our client base,” Malan says.

Camsecure supplies only those products that it believes adhere to the stringent quality measures the company adopts. “We have aligned ourselves with international suppliers of best practice hardware and software, such as Axis network cameras, Milestone video management software, DDN storage solutions and Adani X-Ray Scanners. By being selective about our product offering, we are able to ensure repeatability in positive outcomes,” Malan says.
