About Us
Helping supply chains deliver the right products, at the right time, to the right place.
Reveal is a business powered by purpose. Our mission is to use our knowledge of the supply chain as an indispensable link toward commercial success and social good. We believe every company and every individual contains untapped potential to transform and succeed.
Our story begins with an unlikely hero, the supply chain. To some, linear and static, disruptive and unwieldy, it is the symbol of frustration. To others less jaded, it is a necessary hurdle, one to be tolerated. But to us, as studied and humble practitioners, we see beyond its pitfalls to the heart of its promise. Its intention is good, its purpose transcends — because, at its core, it delivers what we all desire: the right products, at the right place, at the right time.
It is our mission at Reveal to follow the wisdom we so often prescribe: “Use what you have” — your people, your systems, your processes, your passions — and convert these mechanisms into engines of advancement that generate value for business and hope for the world.
We at Reveal believe the supply chain is an indispensable link toward commercial success and social good; it is our goal to create ongoing value – our most elemental methodology — for both. The very core of our business is built on giving back. We donate our time and a portion of our proceeds to non-profit initiatives whose efforts resonate with our own: helping the disadvantaged children of the world receive the products they require — food, water, education, shelter and solace.
To go beyond, to reveal hidden value, this is the potential of the supply chain. Its purpose is our purpose. Together, with our partners, people and technologies, we help companies deliver their right products, at the right place at the right time.

Our History
Reveal began as Q Data more than 30 years ago in South Africa. In 1992, the organization opened its SAP practice, and throughout the early 1990s, implemented SAP in various organization throughout the world and had established offices in South Africa, Australia, the UK and the United States.
2015
In October 2015, sister companies and supply chain industry leaders Reveal, Expert IG and Q Data unified to create one expanded brand under the Reveal name. The three organizations integrated to create a brand that partners with SAP-centric businesses to transform them by challenging the traditional thinking on the modern supply chain and revealing the hidden value through the smart use of people, processes and technology.
2011
In 2011, The Business Maturity Group incorporated to manage the shared services for the group of companies.
2005
In 2005, Q Data incorporated Reveal to focus on post-implementation services, since the market had a dire need to see value from their SAP implementations. Then, in 2007, the group moved its headquarters to the metro Chicago area, and in 2008, it incorporated expertIG as its integration and enterprise mobility practice.
