Connect
Networks and hardware
Connect every site and system on infrastructure built to stay up, engineered end to end and run reliably from day one.
IT and OT technology consulting
Technology built to last.
We bring your operation online, build the systems it runs on, and hand your team full control.
What we build and run
Where the machines on the floor meet the software above them. We design, build, and operate the full stack, so the operation runs as one system.
Online
Operational technology
Bring legacy equipment online and turn it into data you can act on. Machines that ran blind become measured and controlled.
Own
Cloud and data ownership
Move to hybrid infrastructure you host and control. Reclaim ownership of your data, and lower the cost of running it.
Build
Software and systems
Stand up the platforms your operation runs on, from ERP to access, built to fit the way you actually work.
Measure
Dashboards and intelligence
See the whole operation in one place, with AI turning live data into decisions. Computed on site, owned by you.
Secure
Security and access
Protect people, assets, and sites with surveillance, access control, and tracking, joined up on a single system.
How we work
We embed in your operation, build alongside your team, and hand the work over in full, so you are never left dependent on us.
Embedded from day one
We embed in your operation, learn the problems first hand, and build the answer alongside your team.
You own what we build
Every system is handed over in full, with your team trained to run it. You are never left dependent on us.
Specialists on site
We bring leading specialists in each discipline to your site, so you get top-of-industry expertise from one accountable team.
Your data, your control
We move you from cloud-only to hybrid infrastructure you host and own. Operating cost falls, and ownership of your data returns to you.

Why Chrome
Chrome is the element that turns ordinary steel into stainless. The small part that makes the whole stronger, and built to last. That's what we do for your operation.
Who we are
We believe the technology that runs your business should be yours to control. Chrome Consulting was founded in 2021 by Zian van Niekerk, in response to an industry that kept clients dependent on their providers long after delivery. We introduce better technology, and we make sure you understand and own every system we put in.
“Given a clear problem and the commitment to solve it, it can be built.”Zian van Niekerk, founder
