TANO Digital Solutions, a Pan-African technology provider founded by Zimbabweans over a decade ago, is transforming the mining industry with cutting-edge software and hardware solutions
In an exclusive interview with ZiMining, Marshia Mangete, head of marketing at Tano Digital Solutions, emphasised the company’s pivotal role in the mining sector. As the only Systems, Applications, and Products in Data Processing (SAP) accredited gold partner in Zimbabwe, the company is focused on delivering top-tier technology to enhance operational efficiency within the mining industry.
Digital transformation through technology solutions
“Our work centres on digital transformation, providing both software and hardware solutions. We operate in seven countries, including Zimbabwe and South Africa, and specialise in Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), customer relationship management, and business intelligence,” Mangete said.
The company’s Lynx kiosks, a key product, integrate with any ERP system to manage leave, working hours, and sickness tracking, enhancing efficiency.
Tano Digital Solutions believes these innovations will streamline and connect the mining sector.
Skilled professionals driving impact
Tano Digital Solutions boasts a team of over 80 SAP-certified consultants who drive the company’s success. “Our professionals are dedicated to optimising business operations, boosting efficiency, and fostering growth,” Mangete said.
The company has a strong presence within the mining sector, partnering with major African mining players like Kuvimba Mining House, ZCDC, and Zimasco. For Kuvimba, Tano Digital Solutions implemented phase one of SAP’s next-generation ERP system. The company continues to support ongoing operational integration.
Innovating for a connected workforce
Mangete highlighted Tano Digital Solutions’ commitment to bridging the digital divide in the mining sector. “One of our latest innovations is a kiosk solution aimed at connecting unconnected mining users to the broader digital ecosystem. By providing a central platform for accessing information, applications, and services, we help workers in remote mining areas become part of the digital workforce,” she explained.
These kiosks optimise business processes and enable real-time digital communication, reducing costs and improving efficiency.

Tano Digital Solutions believes its innovative technology is key to unlocking Africa’s vast economic potential. “We’re passionate about helping businesses grow through technology. Our solutions have the power to reshape industries and drive success in the digital age,” Mangete said.
She encouraged mining companies across the continent to embrace digital transformation. “Technology plays a crucial role in achieving organisational goals, and I urge miners to explore how our solutions can help their businesses thrive. Together, we can shape the future of Africa’s mining industry.”
