Founded in 2007, the company helps businesses turn operational data into actionable insights, bridging the digital divide in industry and driving measurable improvements in efficiency, safety and performance.

Virtualscape’s software platforms are designed to integrate seamlessly with existing operational systems, enabling real-time visibility of processes, assets and personnel. Its solutions are platform and device agnostic, allowing near real-time event data collection across business verticals and operational activities. 

Among its leading systems is Sens Mining which facilitates data capture, analysis and reporting across mining operations to optimise asset utilisation and productivity, and Pintl Black, a logistics and material management platform that provides driver identification, load and tip-lock control, weighbridge management and real-time event alerting. Both are supported by the company’s MESH architecture which ensures flexible deployment across diverse industries and environments.
