      Canvas Intelligence is a data engineering company in Johannesburg, South Africa, that builds governed lakehouses on Microsoft Fabric and Azure for multi-entity groups. Fabric has been live in production since July 2025, we run Direct Lake at 4TB, and our pipelines bring many ERPs, entities and currencies into one reconciled source of truth for Power BI and AI.

      What makes a data engineering company worth shortlisting in South Africa?

      Look for production evidence on the platform you plan to use, experience with your source systems, and someone accountable for whether the numbers are right. Canvas Intelligence offers all three on the Microsoft stack.

      • Production Microsoft Fabric: live in production since July 2025, with Direct Lake at 4TB.
      • Migrations that don’t break reporting: a Synapse-to-Fabric migration completed with zero broken downstream dashboards.
      • Scale across systems: for a multinational logistics group, 40+ business units and 14+ ERP systems now feed one governed lakehouse.
      • Finance-grade accuracy: 99.5%+ reconciliation to source, with Severity-1 treatment on any variance.

      What does Canvas build?

      Ingestion from ERPs and operational systems, a medallion-style lakehouse on Fabric, governed semantic models for Power BI, and the monitoring that keeps it all reconciled. We have been a Microsoft partner for data analytics since 2018 and are now a Microsoft Solutions Partner for Data & AI.
