Our Team Values
As a hardcore technology firm we value and appreciate continuous learning, innovation and personal responsibility. We practice what we refer to as our FORT values: Focus, Open, Responsible & Timely
We are focused on being the best at what we do, whether as a company or as a team member. You’re an administrator? Keep learning to become the best administrator possible. You’re a developer? Keep growing in your coding abilities. You’re the CEO? Keep learning how to build your people and grow your company.
We believe in open communication at every level. If you have an idea, share it. If you think we’re making a mistake say it. We hired you because you’re smart so we want to hear you. That being said you must be willing to hear us as well.
We take full responsibility to deliver every piece of work entrusted to us because we know our failures will impact not just us but our customers and our team members. We do not play the blame game, instead we own our mistakes and learn from them because that’s how we grow.
We know that time is of the essence for everything we do and we don’t want anyone working crazy hours every day. Our ability to deliver things on time at work enables us to then have the necessary time for our faith, our family, our friends. We believe in flexibility and allowing our team to govern their own time and take pride that many of our younger team members can become the primary caregivers for their ageing parents while working with us.

We have over 100 tenants, and we want to gauge how are all these tenants are performing in terms of their sales, their business. Rather than we go and ask tenants manually and ensure that they submit sales, this is real-time submission. So, it saves a lot of time and manpower as well.
SYCARDA has played a crucial role in streamlining our operations and providing us with actionable insights. With accurate and real-time sales data, we can make informed decisions about our management strategies.
Cheryl & Alicia
Before SYCARDA, we were forced to use Excel, which we really didn’t want. Excel is a basic tool and we have to go into our POS system and copy paste one by one all these things on a daily or weekly basis. Now, everything just takes a few clicks of the button. We now know that sometimes we have weak sales due to inventory management. We currently have six outlets, and are expanding more, with more data coming in. Having SYCARDA really helps make everything smooth and easy for our teams.
Peter
Before SYCARDA, we used to analyze manually using the normal spreadsheet and then have our own discussion without really meaningful kind of information. So far, SYCARDA has helped a lot whenever I’d like to generate a report. Whenever I log in, a report will automatically be generated. When we opt for SYCARDA, we now process the information all the database automatically. The data can also suggest some of the angle that we have not thought about earlier, such as menu basket combinations, and wastage reduction, which adds value to our decision making.
Fahimi
As a grocer, keeping track of stock and finance can be difficult. That is when I discovered SYCARDA. I know which items are selling well. I know how people are spending in my store and I understand how much customers are pairing their products. SYCARDA also helps me earn additional money from selling my data with my permission. My business is more efficient and I have valuable insights to help me make better decisions.
Nish
"SYCARDA surely helps us manage our business better and help us manage our stocks, manage our inventory, help us keep track of all our sales. This little information is vital for us in operation. We know, what item to order more, what item to order less, and what item to push. So SYCARDA really does help a lot."
