Company profile
Tennsa (Pty) Ltd
Tennsa (Pty) Ltd (Tennsa) is a South Africa-based AI software development company headquartered in Cape Town, Western Cape, founded in 2026. The company's primary product, Tennsa OS, operates as an always-on operational intelligence layer for small and medium-sized enterprises, connecting to accounting, inventory, customer relationship management, email, calendar and banking platforms and reading them as a single coherent operating picture. The platform generates daily briefings surfacing overnight anomalies and recommended actions; supports plain-English investigative queries grounded strictly in connected system data without fabrication; and produces one-click management reports. Tennsa integrates at source rather than requiring data-warehouse consolidation, deploys within days of connection, and has built first-class integrations for the South African software stack, including IQ Retail, Sage, Xero, PayFast, and Yoco. Beyond the platform, the company provides AI strategy and guidance, custom AI development, and AI training services. Tennsa is backed by Oakvale Invest and by the Google for Startups Cloud Programme.
