We started Pearstop because we were fed up.
Fed up with watching smart people spend their days on manual data work that a machine should be doing. Fed up with insights that never made it to the decision-maker because the data underneath wasn't good enough. Fed up with inefficiency that was completely, entirely unnecessary.
How it started
Pearstop was built from a simple observation: data problems are everywhere in technical industries, they're expensive, and nobody was solving them properly.
We started by taking on any data problem we could get our hands on — ETL projects, reporting, dashboards, integrations. Then came FARO, a South African retail company. They needed someone to manually categorise every container they were considering purchasing to build a cost picture. Two full-time people, doing repetitive work that added no real value. We automated it, linked it to other databases (sales, ops), and drew up the insights instead.
That became the foundation for everything Pearstop does today.
Why Pearstop?
Hard problems need clear heads. When we'd get deep into a tough data challenge — really deep — we'd take a break with a big bowl of fruit. Stephanie's go-to was always a pear. So when we needed a name, it was obvious: take a pear. Stop. Come back sharper.
That's still how we work.

What We Stand For
Three principles that guide everything we build and every client we serve.
Data Integrity First
We believe clean data is the foundation of every good business decision. We never compromise on accuracy or reliability.
Industry Expertise
We deeply understand the industries we serve — their pressures, their margins, and their data challenges. Generic solutions don't cut it here.
Measurable Impact
Every engagement is measured against real commercial outcomes margin improvement, time saved, accuracy gained. If it can't be measured, it doesn't count.
