Our Difference

OUR DIFFERENCE

PCubed completed and ongoing projects with clients.

Financial Strength and Resources

PCubed is a successful business enterprise and have sound financial resources to support the infrastructure and human resources required to execute the project over the proposed planned project term. The business has the latest infrastructure in terms of highly specked premises from which they operate. These premises have state of the art Information Communications Technology installed, and provide a robust support service to their staff members who operate from these premises. Team members are equipped with laptops, mobile data communications and cell phones, enabling them to perform effectively from anywhere in the country.

Skills Development and Partnering

One of our key objectives is the development of quality consulting skills amongst black professionals. We appreciate the contribution of large-scale consulting firms to the industry and recognize the training and development granted to even our own team members from the larger firms. We are confident that we can and have been a training provider to young, talented black professionals.

Through our strategy of partnering with other small black owned consulting businesses and partnership arrangements, we seek to further develop the level of Black skills in the consulting sector.

The company also focuses on developing capacity within itself, in order to improve service delivery and provide continuity whilst providing for contingency cover in the event that staff is indisposed or unavailable for any reason. To this end, we encourage mentorship programmes within our ranks, and similarly, facilitate skills transfer to our clients where possible and willing and eager employees exist within the client’s staff compliment.

We have partnered with appropriately skilled black owned firms in order to develop and share skills where we lack the capacity and need to augment this in order to deliver on projects. These partnerships are mutually beneficial in developing capacity in black consulting firms.

Fleet Management Consulting

Fleet consulting is one of PCubed major service lines and is supported by an entirely black team with many years of experience in the field.

Our proposed team of fleet management experts has been extensively involved in most aspects of the fleet management industry since 1996. Our team also includes an expert on the Municipal Finance Management Act, as well as the Municipal Systems Act, which currently regulates procedures of the municipality.

The team’s acquaintance with the industry provides us with access to and knowledge of the most up-to-date technologies, models and concepts in the industry. In fact, the team members have been instrumental in prompting the development of new products for the industry, having been directly involved with some of the most significant fleet owners and fleet management contracts in existence in Southern Africa today.
