Hi Inospace 👋
we're Tec Labs. Nice to meet you.
You advertised for one person to bring AI and better data into how Inospace runs. We read the spec, and the honest answer is that it is really several jobs in one, so we are applying as a team. Short version: change management, the technical build, and governance rarely sit in a single person. We cover all of it, for about the cost of that one hire.
"The Business Transformation Manager is responsible for driving the integration, governance and practical application of artificial intelligence and data analytics across Inospace's business operations. This is a cross-functional role with a direct mandate... to identify inefficiencies, implement AI-enabled improvements, and build the data infrastructure needed to run a high-performance, insight-driven organisation."
You are after one exceptional hire. We think a small team gets you further.
Technology helps, but your people are what make Inospace work, so we treat the tools as support for them, not a replacement. One all-rounder rarely covers a role this broad. You want a team that can map the slow, manual work across your three lines: leasing, storage, and logistics.
We read up on Inospace before writing this: the parks, the 1,200 clients, and the smart leasing platform you built and sold to Lisa in 2023. Mostly we would start inside Inospace itself, addressing the specific operational friction your team handles every day.
How we execute the four key responsibilities.
1. AI Implementation & Process Improvement
Hands-on integration of automation tools suited for fast-paced, lean operating environments. We map high-friction workflows and implement practical solutions using Make, Zapier, n8n, and large language models.
2. Data, Analytics & Business Intelligence
Building data modules, connected dashboards, and real-time views using Power BI, Tableau, and Looker, so the executive team can see how the portfolio is performing at a glance.
3. AI Governance, Training & Strategy
Developing a responsible AI framework, writing clear usage policies, and actively training your staff so they understand boundaries and feel confident adopting new tools.
4. Stakeholder Engagement & Change Management
Facilitating workshops and building trusted relationships with operational teams to ensure sustained adoption. We focus on people first, earning buy-in from the frontline to the executive team.
We'd work inside Inospace, not from a distance.
On the ground
In your offices in Joburg or Cape Town, alongside your team. Not a remote, send-a-report engagement.
People before tools
The hard part of this role is people, not software. We earn the frontline's and the exec team's trust first, then build.
We fit how you run
Lean, fast, low on ceremony. We move at your pace and work the way Inospace already works.
We leave you stronger
We train your staff as we go, so the tools and the know-how stay with you, not with us.
One role, four disciplines, one budget.
The spec asks one person to run change management, build the technical solutions, set up AI governance, and stand up the data and reporting. Those skills rarely live in one hire. That hire costs around R900,000 to R1.2 million a year, all in. The same budget gets a team that already covers all four.
- Strong in one or two areas, stretched on the rest
- The people side and the deep build rarely sit in one person
- If they leave, the whole function leaves with them
- A specialist for each part of the mandate
- Two of us hold engineering PhDs, for the technical and governance depth
- We train your team, so the capability stays in the business
- A team, so a holiday or a sick day never stops the work
We wrote and built this page ourselves to answer your advert. Think of it as a small sample of the work: an everyday task, done with a bit more care and the right tools. That is the standard we would bring to the work inside Inospace.
It is a live, working system used at the University of the Witwatersrand, handling the timesheets and payment approvals that would otherwise sit in spreadsheets. Wits was ranked No. 1 in Africa in the 2026 Center for World University Rankings. We bring that same practical engineering to your operations.
A cold-chain monitoring project: sensors, data and live reporting for refrigerated storage and transport. It is the closest thing we have built to what storage and logistics need, and Wits featured it on their socials. You can see their post here.
Give us an hour with the people closest to the work.
Bring two real operational headaches. We will map where AI can genuinely help inside Inospace, and what a first useful build would cost. You keep that thinking whether or not we work together.
