Decoding Information Services (DIS) was founded in 2006 by Amanda Hermann.
What began as a procurement company quickly evolved when we saw a massive gap – and a growing need – in the B-BBEE space. Instead of just sourcing suppliers, we started helping businesses make sense of transformation, compliance, and strategy… and we never looked back.
We’re a family-run business with a personal touch at our core. Our clients aren’t just numbers on a spreadsheet – we get to know their goals, their challenges, and their story. That’s why we’ve built strong partnerships with companies across South Africa, working in every sector and industry.
Our leadership team includes Divan Vogel, Partner, Director and Senior Consultant. With over 12 years of industry experience, Divan brings sharp strategic insight and a strong results-driven approach that aligns perfectly with our commitment to real transformation.
B-BBEE compliance is our sweet spot – and we stay ahead of every legislative shift so our clients don’t have to. Whether it’s ownership, procurement, or skills development, we cut through the noise with clear, practical solutions that drive impact.
And because transformation is about more than just ticking boxes, we’re proud to be an accredited training company through Decoding Training Academy (DTA).
We offer real, accredited programs that build skills, create opportunities, and support sustainable growth.
We also work hand-in-hand with our sister company, Decoding Human Capital (DHC) – the powerhouse behind our recruitment and hosting site services. Through DHC, we’re able to ensure our clients can access those all-important extra 5 points for absorption, making their B-BBEE strategy even stronger.
We may be a small team – and we like it that way. It keeps us nimble, hands-on, and fully invested in every single project we take on.
At DIS, we don’t just talk transformation. We live it, breathe it, and help our clients make it happen.
