DotActiv proudly specialises in providing category management software and professional services and has done so since the early 2000s. We are a South African-based company and started offering our products and services to the local market, but we also serve the global retail market. You only need to look at our client list – We provide meaningful impact to the international retail market.
When planning a retail space, interior layout can be a make-or-break element in profits for stores of any size. Retail experts have studied traffic flow to maximize sales for decades. And it’s here where a DotActiv floor planner plays a pivotal role in the success of any business that has its roots in the retail industry.
Long live the varsity days! You are entering the job market shortly and applying for roles. We know it can be daunting when you have limited work experience. That’s why DotActiv launched its graduate planner position. It allows graduates to ease into their careers while gaining exposure to set them up for future success in DotActiv.
In the competitive world of retail, our clients need a trusted advisor that can help them make decisions that lead to a positive impact. What better advisor than a category planner? Why? Because they plan and coordinate future inventory and sales volume in one or more product categories, drive sales and profit and transform the in-store experience.

Your first few weeks or months at DotActiv as a category planner can be daunting because it’ll feel like an information overload. You’ll be busy with onboarding, which includes training, understanding how to use our software, building the foundation for your new role, and learning about our company and policies. So we don’t blame you if you ever feel overwhelmed. But don’t worry.
Before working at any company, you might wonder if it’s the right fit. Does the company you’re looking to join align with your values and career goals? That becomes especially important once you receive a job offer. Do you sign that offer or not? One aspect that can help you decide is company culture. Easily overlooked, it’s critical to assess when evaluating any offer.
We at DotActiv have taken stock of how we operate to incorporate addressing cultural and social issues because we believe we must do our part in making South Africa and the world a better place. At this point, corporate social responsibility (CSR) plays a critical role. CSR benefits society and any company that partakes in it, leading to an optimistic workforce and improved business.
Yay we have survived the week! After a productive and long week of hard work and effort, we all looking forward to the F-word. That’s Friday of course or as the DotActiv family likes to say, Fri-Yay!
Have you ever completely changed your mind about something, or maybe had a lightbulb moment where you realised the solution to a problem you have been contemplating for a while? That’s an epiphany! An intuitive grasp of reality through something usually simple and striking.
Let’s be realistic: a business without core values isn’t a business. How can you build a great team, deliver excellent customer service or foster innovation if you have not defined or embraced your values first? It’s why we at DotActiv hold our values so close. Our values shape our culture and impact our business strategy. They also help us create a purpose, improve team cohesion and foster loyalty.
There is no such thing as a perfect company culture. In reality, company culture is ever-changing. But that does not mean you cannot strive for perfection – something that we at DotActiv attempt to achieve every day. Combine that with the rapid growth we are experiencing, and it becomes clear that we need to pay extra care to nurture the culture we have built thus far.
Good news! A new era for normalising the stigma around mental health has arrived. It’s about time. Mental health in the workplace is top of mind for everyone, and there has never been a better time to discuss it. That’s especially true if you live in South Africa since October has been declared Mental Health Awareness Month.
COVID-19 may no longer be as significant as it was two years ago, but many businesses still find themselves grappling with the aftereffects. It has also forced companies to reshape their thinking on working lives while the conversation surrounding mental health in the workplace has gathered pace. We believe it’s due to the increasing awareness of its impact on employee engagement and productivity.
