Tetrad IT

What Tetrad IT does

Tetrad IT (operating as Tetrad Group) is a South African cloud consulting firm founded in 2008 by Vusi Mthethwa and headquartered in Fourways, Sandton, Johannesburg. The company delivers professional services for on-premise and cloud applications, with core offerings centered on Salesforce consulting and implementation (as a certified Salesforce Gold Partner in Southern Africa) and Sage Intacct ERP implementation (as a certified Sage Intacct Partner, named Interactive Partner of the Year 2020). The technology stack also includes Flowgear integration platform resale (200+ pre-built connectors with drag-and-drop workflow design) and AWS infrastructure alignment. Proprietary assets include the Tetrad Resourcing Tool for talent matching and the LAB methodology for business insight discovery.

The company's revenue model is predominantly quote-based, multi-year professional services engagements covering CRM and ERP implementation, customization, integration, managed services, and resourcing — supplemented by Flowgear subscription resale and Sage/Salesforce licensing pass-through. Tetrad sells into enterprise and mid-market clients across South Africa with stated Africa-wide reach, targeting financial services, FMCG, professional services, nonprofit, and technology verticals. Named enterprise customers include Standard Bank (custom OneHub platform with 500+ real-time users), Old Mutual Insure, Sumitomo Rubber South Africa, Metal Tiger Plc, and Rogz.

In 2022 Tetrad acquired Laboratory Live, a South African brand strategy and marketing firm, forming 'The Laboratory by Tetrad' as its creative and marketing sub-brand and integrating marketing services with Salesforce Marketing Cloud and Pardot. The firm is privately held, founder-controlled, with 11-50 employees and no disclosed external institutional investment. Strategic technology partnerships with AWS, Flowgear, Sage, and Salesforce, plus awards including Salesforce Community Impact Partner of the Year 2020/21, underpin its regional channel position.
