Offering global solutions Jendamark hasn ’ t only found success by putting the customer at the epicenter of its business . “ When we first started out as an export business it was hard to get customers to accept South Africa as a manufacturing destination . Once they get over the surprise that we have the expertise they started to recognise the global solutions that we could offer . We have 11 different languages in the region so its hard to get operators to understand text instructions , with this in mind , we developed symbolic and video based instructions , which made out machines universally understandable . This has been incredibly well received in the sector , which constantly faces issues with poor literacy rates and imported labour .”
