How Orizen Group
Achieves Success
As part of the Orizen Strategic Intent, we intend on becoming one of the top 3 Electric MHE solutions providers. We want to become a company that intends on giving shareholders the most value on their investments over time.
Likewise, we have become a company that is sought after by employees to work for in the MHE Industry.
We aim to provide options of power sources to Electric Lift Trucks. We accomplish this through a need assessment of the customer’s operation.
Orizen Group has 7 different types of batteries, 3 different types of chargers, 3 different types of solid tyres and 2 different types of MHE, all choices are handpicked through our modelling software to suit a customer’s site survey and operational need analysis.
Our uninterrupted operation for Electric Forklift is world class and unmatched. We use remote monitoring of assets, implementing RCM and CBM policies (reliability centred and condition based maintenance).
We are busy creating a back up structure & systems to ensure that your forklift either doesn’t stop working or if it stops.
Our technology helps us to track real time data for forklifts, batteries and chargers at any time and enables us to monitor the use and abuse of the asset. With Remote Fleet Management (RFM) we can locate which spares to take with us to fix a particular breakdown.
Orizen offers cutting edge lithium-ion battery systems. We are the only company in South Africa which can assemble it locally. This plug and play solution is an assurance of superior performance.
Our Culture
Think National, Act Regional
Decentralised Structure
The group operates in an entirely decentralised organizational structure in which daily operations and decision-making responsibilities are delegated to the individual company owner managers. This helps us in preparing for emergencies, efficient decision making and in business expansion.
The entire group is divided into independent companies in Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban.
Standard operating procedure for service & back up is clearly defined. We respond within hours if any faults or breakdowns are reported.
Orizen Group has launched a 360-degree mobile app called i-Serve for your smart phones to report a service or fault on products. Customers will then be notified electronically, and he can track progress of technicians being allocated and how far is he from attending to the job.
Succession plan
We work continuously to develop a leadership culture and the knowledge transition process is clearly defined across the group.
The senior executives are groomed as potential candidates for leadership. The board gets involved in the planning process at all stages, and there is a high level of transparency between board members. Durban Group Company is jointly owned by a local Durban resident & Cape Town Company is jointly owned by a local Cape Town resident.
These combined factors create an ideal succession plan, which have enabled each company to forge ahead under a new leadership as and when it is required.
