Sales Consultant
CurrentPolygon Technologies started in 2002 as ignorant confidence plus a side order of passionate hard work, when Carel started (part time), selling hardware kits for people to build their own MP3 players. In 2003, he lost a screw somewhere and decided to go it alone from his single garage. Poor guy. He had no idea what he was in for.The business was contract development. People come with their requirements and he would design it for them. It was exciting, fascinating work, and he designed everything from MP3 jukeboxes to gambling machines and who-knows what else.After hitting his head really hard a few times, (probably knocking out what remained of his screws) it dawned on him that the we needed our own product. It has to be said that at the time, “we” consisted of only him, his dear, longsuffering wife and a number of assorted voices in his head.It took a long time to eventually decide on the GSM Commander concept, and once decided, it took another 2 years for him to eventually get it done. In 2007, we launched the GSM Commander. Since then, the product has sold in excess of 20 000 units (as of 2016). It has been a wild ride, sometimes scary, sometimes fun.Since 2003 Carel & his team have been involved in agricultural electronics and produced our first cup sizing controller in 2010. That very same prototype is still running today!In the years that followed, we developed and matured the product through the installation and commissioning of many systems. In 2015, the AgriSort brand was launched to take our cup-sizing controller to the market.We are the only independent, local producer of cup-sizing controllers (that work)
