2006

Founded

Founded in 2006 by Vusi Mngomezulu and Jennifer Mngomezulu, Unplugg IT Solutions began with a clear mission — to transform the funeral industry across South Africa through innovative technology solutions.

2008

First Funeral Parlour Management

Driven by this vision, the company developed its first Funeral Parlour Management System, which quickly gained traction and welcomed its first clients by 2008.

2010

Creation of U-PAS

As the business grew, so did our passion for empowering funeral parlours, administrators, and insurance providers to build sustainable businesses. This led to the creation of our flagship Policy Administration System (U-PAS) — a tool designed to simplify operations, enhance efficiency, and support long-term growth.

2013

Desktop to web-based platform

In 2013, a pivotal milestone marked our transition from a desktop application to a web-based platform, embracing the future of technology. During this period, we also introduced mobile premium collection, made possible through a strategic collaboration with Hemant, further enhancing accessibility and client convenience.

2019

Antony Hlungwane joins the team

By 2019, Antony Hlungwane joined the leadership team, spearheading a new era of transformation. That same year, our strategic direction solidified, leading to the formation of The Unplugg Group — a collective comprising:

Unplugg Software Solutions
Unplugg Consulting
Unplugg Talent Solutions
Unplugg Ventures

2022

Expanded beyond South Africa

In 2022, our journey expanded beyond South Africa as we partnered with one of Lesotho’s largest funeral parlours to streamline their insurance and burial operations. Recognizing the growing demand for localized support, we established Unplugg Lesotho, extending our footprint and reinforcing our commitment to regional impact.

At Unplugg, we believe in the power of knowledge sharing and continuous learning. We foster a culture that encourages collaboration, open communication, and professional growth — ensuring our team remains innovative and future-ready.
