The business started off as an informal mechanical repair business after the director had been a part of the growing statistics of the unemployed youth in South Africa for over 5 years. The company began building traction around 2006 and it was imperative for a much bigger space as the business was repairing more cars on a daily basis so a house was purchased and converted into a workshop and 3 more assistants were employed.
In 2010, All-in-1 was founded. By now the business had opened a call centre for towing and roadside assistance and employed more than 18 personnel comprising of drivers, agents, mechanics and management. The company was hit by a major loss when it lost some of its fleet and was on the verge of shutting down but the call centre was able to bring in the required finance for the business to progress and create even more
opportunities.
The company was now operating as a fully-fledged call centre with towing and roadside assistance and conducting mechanical repairs as well with +/-20 employees. In 2017, the mechanical part of the company moved to a new site where the development was completed in 2019.
All -in-1 is currently operational in the largest township of Soweto as an emergency solutions call centre with more than 50% of the employees comprising of young black females.All-in-1 has reached all 9 provinces of South Africa through strategic partnerships in both rural and urban areas
As part of our 2020-2030 vision, we will be creating 5000 jobs where South African youth will be prioritized. Skills development through All-in-1 Academy was implemented in 2022 to upskill the youth and businesses and allow them opportunities in various fields. All-in-1 has also added panelbeating to the list of services they provide to clients and insurers.
Among the new services will be a holistic approach to emergency assistance of clients which includes added services such as security, EMS, tracking and car rental.
