Built for the people who actually run the facility.
Not the consultancy that arrives three weeks before the audit. Not the head-office sustainability team filling in a CSV. The operations director, the plant manager, the facility lead, the technician with the work order on their phone. The platform reflects how they actually work.
The problem we solve
The data already exists. It just doesn't reach the auditor without a person in the middle.
Walk into any sizable operator — a mine, a hotel, a hospital, a waste contractor — and ask how they prove their water balance, their fridge chain, their supplier ESG status. You will hear about three to five disconnected systems, an analyst whose entire job is reconciling CSV exports, and a folder of scanned PDFs called “Q3 evidence”.
The CMMS knows the work orders. The historian knows the sensor data. The supplier portal knows the questionnaire. The clipboard on the fridge knows the temperature. The auditor needs all four — stitched, timestamped, and signed.
ZEA AssetOps collapses that gap into a single operational record.
How we build
Five principles. They show up in the product.
Operations first, ESG second
The buyer is the operations director, not the sustainability lead. ESG reporting is a byproduct of doing the operational work well, not a separate workflow.
Vendor-neutral on hardware
We don't sell sensors. We accept readings from whatever you already have or whatever your integrator picks. The platform is the moat; the tags aren't.
Replace the spreadsheet
If an analyst is opening Excel to reconcile data between two systems we already touch, that's a feature gap. Spreadsheets are the competition, not other SaaS.
Audit-ready by default
Every state change is hashed, timestamped, and signed. Auditors get a chain, not a screenshot. The PDF is one click — no end-of-quarter scramble.
Modular by vertical
One universal base (assets, locations, work orders). Add-ons stack: Smart Water, Cold-Chain, Waste Intel, Supplier ESG. Pay for the verticals you actually use.
Built for the data residency you need
Single-tenant Postgres, S3-compatible object storage with custom domain, your timezone and currency. We deploy in the region your regulator cares about.
Where we come from
Ghana-first. Built in the operations every customer recognises.
The platform was conceived after two years of conversations with facilities directors at Ghanaian mines, hotels, banks, hospitals, and waste contractors — each one running broadly the same parallel systems, each one rebuilding the same audit-prep work every quarter.
We chose Ghana and West Africa as the first market because the operations are tangible, the regulatory pressure is real (Bank of Ghana climate-risk supervision, EPA-Ghana environmental compliance, DFI-funded mining audits), and the buyer cycle is short enough to learn quickly.
The architecture is jurisdiction-neutral. The data model speaks the same shape whether the workspace is at Newmont Ahafo or a hotel chain in Singapore. As pilots expand, the verticals expand with them.
