Overview TQ Group is a specialist communications company that develops content production and marketing work for leading South African firms.

Challenges TMS Group is committed to driving innovation and transformation. However, the company lacked effective tracking systems to measure its transformation initiatives, as well as its budget spending.

These inefficiencies had an indirect impact on the company’s market position which made it difficult for them to remain competitive in the industrial service sector.

Solution
TRACKING TECHNOLOGY 
The implementation of BEE123’s software has enabled the company to track its transformation strategy and initiatives with an interactive and real-time dashboard to drive efficiency. The BEE123 software has also assisted the company to remain up to date and maintain compliance despite any legislative changes.
COMMITTED EXPERTS 
BEE123’s consultants provided valuable and efficient service delivery and always remained available when assistance and/or guidance was needed.
BEE123 PROGRAMMES AND LEARNERSHIPS 
The company has implemented meaningful learnerships and was able to contribute to the Skills Development component of the Scorecard by participating in the Skills123 programme. The company is planning on participating in the SED123 programme initiative to contribute toward the Socio-Economic Development element of the Scorecard.
