YAVA / Sectors
Where systems cannot afford to fail.
We work in sectors where technology is part of daily operations and the cost of failure is measured in safety, revenue, security or public service.
Nine sectors
Who we work with, and what we do for them.
Each sector below sets out the type of client, the problem we are usually brought in to solve, the services that apply and the result.
01 Government and public sector
Ministries, transport authorities, regulators and municipal operators.
Relevant YAVA services
System design, public sector platforms, records and case management, integration between agencies, procurement and tender support, 24 hour support.
The result
Services that stay available, records that hold together and one team answerable for the whole environment.
The operational problem
Systems bought department by department, with no single owner of the whole environment and long term reliability at risk.
02 Aviation and airports
Civil aviation authorities, airport operators, ground handling, cargo and maintenance organisations.
Relevant YAVA services
Revenue management and reconciliation, operational systems, security and surveillance integration, airside and landside network design, 24 hour support.
The result
Revenue recorded accurately, operations visible in one place and systems supported around the clock.
The operational problem
Revenue, operational and security systems that do not talk to each other, and downtime that is measured in flights.
03 Ports and logistics
Container terminals, maritime infrastructure operators and supply chain corridors.
Relevant YAVA services
Control system integration, customs and terminal workflows, surveillance, network separation, on site deployment around live operations.
The result
Throughput maintained, control networks separated properly and losses reduced at the gate and the yard.
The operational problem
Automation and control systems connected to business networks, with no room to stop throughput while work is carried out.
04 Energy and industrial
Refineries, terminals, distribution networks, mining and processing operators.
Relevant YAVA services
Operational technology and asset monitoring, control and business network separation, security integration, field engineering at remote sites.
The result
Assets monitored properly, control systems protected and engineers who can reach the site.
The operational problem
Remote sites with limited local technical support, ageing control systems and physical security spread over a large area.
05 Hotels and hospitality
Hotel groups, resorts and asset managers.
Relevant YAVA services
Property and booking platform integration, payment estate work, surveillance and access control, guest network separation, RIP assessment and remediation.
The result
Fewer incidents, guest data handled properly and a stronger position with the insurer at renewal.
The operational problem
Property management, payments, guest Wi-Fi, surveillance and access systems bought separately and never joined up.
06 Insurance and underwriting
Underwriters, managing general agents, brokers and risk engineers.
Relevant YAVA services
RIP assessment at the asset, scoring out of 100, loss pathway analysis, insurer ready brief, remediation delivery and reassessment.
The result
Evidence to price against, a defensible file at claim stage and a measurable change in the risk between renewals.
The operational problem
Submissions built on questionnaires and documents, which show what should be in place rather than what is.
07 Defence and security
Defence primes, security operators and government security agencies.
Relevant YAVA services
Tender and bid support, technology sourcing through vetted suppliers, surveillance and mobility integration, co-delivery and white label arrangements.
The result
A credible technical answer in the bid and a partner who can deliver it under export control and compliance requirements.
The operational problem
Technology requirements inside tenders that need a delivery partner who can source, integrate and support the equipment.
08 Startups and growth companies
Venture backed startups, technology scale ups and digital platform businesses.
Relevant YAVA services
Bespoke software, web and mobile platforms, cloud infrastructure, data and reporting, retained support after launch.
The result
A production grade platform, an architecture that scales and engineers who stay with it.
The operational problem
Platforms that need to survive past their first year, built by a team that will still be there after launch.
09 SMEs and private sector
Mid sized enterprises and private businesses.
Relevant YAVA services
Business and workflow systems, IT infrastructure and support, CCTV and access control, integration between existing tools.
The result
Systems that fit the business, priced for the markets we serve.
The operational problem
Custom software, IT and operational technology needs that are too small for a large integrator and too complex for a single supplier.
