What we do

We build systems that fit the way your operation works

Every operation has its own processes, pressure points and goals. That is why we don’t believe in forcing businesses into rigid, generic systems.

We work closely with our clients to understand how their operation runs, where data is captured, where errors happen and where visibility is needed. From there, we configure practical software and hardware solutions that support productivity, traceability, quality and long-term operational growth.

Our role is not only to provide technology. It is to become a hands-on partner that helps your team turn operational challenges into smarter, more connected ways of working.

Our milestones

Over 3 Decades of operational technology experience

Multi-Weigh Technologies Is Founded

MWT is founded by Jonathan Swiel, marking the beginning of a business focused on practical weighing and operational technology.

In the same year, Adcock Ingram becomes the company’s first customer - a relationship that continues to this day. This long-standing partnership reflects the reliability, consistency and support that have shaped Multi-Weigh’s approach from the start.

Pallet and Check-Weighing Systems Are Introduced

MWT introduces pallet and check-weighing systems, strengthening its foundation in industrial weighing and accuracy-focused operational processes.

This milestone helped establish Multi-Weigh’s early role in helping businesses verify weights, improve control and bring greater precision into their production and dispatch environments.

First Involvement With Warehouse Environments

MWT begins working in warehouse environments, expanding beyond weighing equipment into broader operational workflows.

This step helped the business understand how stock is received, moved, stored and dispatched — insight that would later influence the development of its warehouse management and inventory control systems.

First Warehouse Management Software System

MWT takes its first major step into software with the development of its Warehouse Management System.

This marked a key turning point in the company’s journey, shifting Multi-Weigh from equipment-led solutions into integrated software and hardware systems that help clients manage stock movement, inventory visibility and operational reporting.

First Pallet Dimensioner Developed

MWT develops its first pallet dimensioner to measure dimensions for transport costs.

This milestone reflects Multi-Weigh’s ability to solve practical logistics challenges by combining physical measurement, operational data and system-driven accuracy. It also laid the foundation for the dimensioning and weighing systems offered today.

Expansion Into Zambia

MWT expands its footprint outside South Africa into Zambia.

This was an important step in the company’s regional growth, showing that its systems and support could serve operational environments beyond the South African market.

First Batch Plant Solution

MWT introduces its first batch plant solution, expanding its technical capability into more complex processing and production environments.

This milestone reinforced the company’s ability to configure systems around specific workflows, materials, production requirements and operational control points.

Entry Into the Macadamia Nut Sector

Golden Macadamia becomes MWT’s first customer in the macadamia nut sector.

This milestone opened the door to one of Multi-Weigh’s most specialised areas of expertise: nut processing traceability. The experience gained in this sector later contributed to the development of NutLogger.

NutLogger Traceability System Is Launched

NutLogger represents a major evolution in the business, combining software, traceability, production visibility and hardware integration for nut processing operations. It positioned Multi-Weigh as a specialist technology partner for processors needing end-to-end visibility from intake through to dispatch.

Packhouse System Is Introduced

MWT introduces its Packhouse System, expanding its software offering further into agricultural packhouse operations.

This system builds on Multi-Weigh’s experience in traceability, weighing, stock control and operational software, helping packhouses manage workflows such as intake, packing, labelling, inventory, dispatch and reporting.

NutLogger Expands to Australia

NutLogger is introduced to the Australian market.

This milestone reflects the growing international relevance of Multi-Weigh’s software and traceability expertise, particularly in high-value agricultural and nut processing environments.

Further Expansion Into the Australian Market

MWT continues its expansion into Australia, strengthening its international footprint and supporting its position as a South African technology company with systems that can serve global operational environments.

This milestone shows how Multi-Weigh’s locally developed software and hardware expertise continues to grow beyond its original market while remaining grounded in practical, real-world operational needs.

Our approach

We don’t just offer software - we deliver solutions

We start by understanding how your operation works. We look at your workflows, challenges, users, hardware environment and reporting needs before configuring a system that fits your business.

How we work

1. Understand Your Operation

We start by learning how your business runs, including your workflows, challenges and goals, so we can align the solution to your needs.

Our software is flexible and can be configured to match your specific environment, users, processes and reporting requirements.

With years of industry experience and a proven rollout approach, we manage implementation with minimal disruption.

We onboard your team, check data integrity and test key workflows before launch so your team can go live smoothly.

From training and updates to hands-on support, we remain involved for the long term.
