We are proud to have been featured on the East Coast Radio segment KZN Future 50. This Campaign, which is hosted by Pablo Phitidis, highlights the importance of business owners in driving growth and prosperity in KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) and celebrates successful businesses each week. The initiative aims to connect business owners with opportunities for growth, such as attracting more customers, investors, and key suppliers. Here’s what they had to say about Beapo,
“Beapo, founded by Siyabonga Gule, is making waves in the business community of KwaZulu-Natal. Specialising in strategic sourcing, Beapo helps businesses optimise their supply chains, focusing on cost efficiency, reliability, and certainty. This service is particularly important for large organisations with complex procurement needs. Siyabonga Gule identified a gap in the industry and took the initiative to bridge it. As a result, Beapo has experienced remarkable growth, securing contracts in numerous locations such as Port Elizabeth, East London, Saldanha Bay, Kimberley, Bloemfontein, Durban, and Richards Bay in KZN.
Beapo’s services help businesses avoid the risks associated with procurement, ensuring they have the necessary products and services to run smoothly. This is especially crucial in South Africa, where procurement can be challenging due to political and corruption issues. Looking to the future, Beapo plans to expand into heavy machinery and warehousing, reducing reliance on a single client. They aim to diversify their customer base and establish strong partnerships. By doing so, Beapo hopes to drive innovative solutions in the supply chain industry and create more job opportunities for the youth of KZN.
One of Beapo’s memorable achievements involved a global shortage of engines that threatened a client’s operations. By partnering with Scania, Beapo adapted an alternative engine series to meet the client’s needs, turning a crisis into a success story and strengthening their client relationship.“
Beapo is also committed to giving back to the community. Through their CSI Initiative, Bright Horizons, they aim to support education by providing bursaries, building libraries, and supplying books and uniforms to children in need. Beapo’s dedication to strategic sourcing, innovative solutions, and community impact makes it a standout business in KwaZulu-Natal.“
