From Hilton, With Code: The Origin Story of Digit IT

In 2012, nestled between the green hills of Hilton and the bustling streets of Pietermaritzburg, just a stone’s throw from the historic Hilton Train Station and in the same town that houses the legendary Hilton College, a small tech store quietly opened its doors. From the shopfront, one could glimpse trains passing by—a reminder of movement, connection, and continuity. That spirit became our own. Digit IT was built not just on shelves and stock, but on trust, community, and a simple mission: make real IT accessible to real people.

What began as a modest retail outlet serving local schools, small businesses, and families quickly became a hub for tech support, reliable products, and advice that customers could count on. We weren’t the biggest, but we were consistent. Year after year, the community came to us with their laptop problems, printer needs, and tech questions—and we answered.

Now, more than a decade later, we’re taking the next step: online.

But this isn’t just another e-commerce store. This is Hilton-born IT done right.

We remain proudly rooted in our community. Our team still serves from our physical store. But through this launch, we’re bringing the same local reliability to a national audience. Every order comes with the care, experience, and tech DNA we’ve built for over 12 years.

Our promise?

Only IT: No toasters. No toys. Just trusted tech.

Real support: Behind every product is a person you can talk to.

Local spirit: What we built in Hilton, we now bring to the nation.

As we go live, we invite you to explore our curated bundles, discover our Digit Verified guarantee, and join us in writing this new chapter. It started with code in Hilton. Now it continues with you.

Digit IT. We Do IT. Nothing Else. Now Online.
