Diverso

What Diverso does

Diverso is a privately held South African solutions integrator founded in 2005 and headquartered in Somerset West, Western Cape, with 11-50 employees. The company supplies, installs, rents, and services office automation and renewable energy systems for SMB, mid-market, and enterprise clients across the Western Cape region. Its core offerings span Konica Minolta bizhub multifunction printers, copiers and scanners, cloud-based VoIP telephony, CCTV security systems, IT support services, and turnkey solar PV and battery storage installations sourced through SunSynk and Sigenergy partnerships. The proprietary Diverso Optimise AI application differentiates its energy offering by automatically adjusting battery storage levels against real-time load-shedding schedules, consumption patterns, and weather forecasts to maximize solar savings. The company has installed more than 220 solar systems in the past year and serves verticals including healthcare, construction, agriculture, legal, real estate, education, and non-profits, with named clients such as Tygerberg Hospital, Haw & Inglis, and Eikenhof Poultry Farms.

Diverso operates as a third-party equipment reseller and managed service provider rather than a manufacturer. Revenue is generated through hardware sales, rentals bundled with All-In On-Site Maintenance Agreements billed per A4 page printed, monthly cloud voice subscriptions, project-based solar installations, and high-volume in-house print services. Equipment financing is facilitated through Fin-Key to lower the upfront cost barrier for clients. Pricing is non-public and quoted only after an on-site consultation, reinforcing a direct, consultative sales motion.

The company distributes exclusively through an internal Business Development team that conducts site visits and prepares tailored proposals, with installation and ongoing service delivered by an in-house field engineering team. Marketing relies on organic social channels (LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram), content marketing, community and charity involvement via D4D and PATCH Helderberg, and referral-based demand. Diverso has no outside institutional investors, no parent company, and is led by founder Managing Director Hennie du Toit and Finance Director Anna-Marié du Toit; it celebrated 20 years in business in 2025.
