Vertically integrated workwear manufacturer and retailer across Southern Africa
Jonsson Workwear operates a fully owned supply chain from fabric sourcing through retail, producing 40,000+ garments daily across manufacturing in Lesotho and Mauritius, then distributing through a Johannesburg hub and nationwide store network. The tech stack is Microsoft/Azure/.NET with SYSPRO ERP and Power BI, but the hiring acceleration is concentrated in sales (9 roles) and manufacturing (7 roles) rather than engineering (2 roles) — a pattern that mirrors their operational pain points: stock optimization, production efficiency, and customization scaling dominate the challenge list, not platform building.
