We replace the spreadsheet, the workaround, and the ten-year-old website.
Custom software for South African businesses that have outgrown what they are using. Websites, applications, integrations and the automation behind them — built by the two developers you will deal with directly.
Neither company is real. Send us your web address and we will build you the same comparison, with your own site in it.
Applications, integrations, automations and care plans.
Websites are the one at the top of the page. Here are the other four. Each of them runs, on invented figures, so you can try them instead of taking our word for it.
When the spreadsheet stops coping.
Somebody is keeping the business alive in a workbook nobody else can open. We turn it into a system with permissions, a history, and no version seven.
- Everyone works in the same record, at the same time
- Who changed what, and when, without asking around
- Rules enforced once, instead of remembered by one person

One row is a duplicate, one formula has given up, and the status column is in three people’s handwriting. If yours looks anything like this, switch it over.
Two systems that should be talking.
Someone is retyping the same record twice a day because the policy system and the accounting package have never been introduced. They can be.
- APIs, scheduled syncs, or a file drop — whatever the older system allows
- Every transfer logged, so a missing record is a question with an answer
- Retries and alerts, so a failure is noticed before the client notices
Send one through and watch it cross. The number worth watching is the one that stays at zero: nobody has to retype anything, ever again.
The Monday morning report, run without a Monday morning.
Every business has a job somebody does by hand every week because it has always been done by hand. It is usually the cheapest thing we will ever fix for you.
- Runs on a schedule, or when something happens — not when someone remembers
- Tells you when it could not finish, instead of failing quietly
- The same output, every time, at 06:00 on a public holiday
The job here is a weekly report: pull the figures, clean them, build it, send it to six people. Run them both and see what your Monday could look like.
Someone watching your system at two in the morning.
Hosting, monitoring, updates and a few change hours a month, for a flat fee you can cancel on a month’s notice. This is what the fee actually buys.
- We are told before you are, and usually before your customers are
- Patches and backups applied on a schedule, with restores tested
- Small changes included — no quote for a phone number that moved
Response time, last 24 hours
99.98% uptimeThe alert, the fix and the all-clear happened while the client was asleep. Nobody phoned them, and nothing was broken in the morning.
Three stages, and you can stop after any of them.
You never pay for the next stage before you have seen the last one.
Discovery sprint
We write down exactly what the software must do, draw the main screens, and give you a price you can hold us to. Credited against the build if you go ahead.
The build
Half on signature, half when you sign the work off. A working demo every two weeks, so nothing is a surprise at the end.
Launch and care
Migration, go-live and handover, then 30 days of defect fixes at our cost. A care plan afterwards if you would rather we kept running it.
Half on signature, half when you sign the work off.
Two invoices, and nothing in between. Move the slider to whatever you had in mind and both figures follow. Nothing arrives that you have not already seen working.
Nothing in between. No progress billing, no surprise line items. A change to the scope is quoted and signed before anyone builds it — including the free ones.
You deal with both of us, every time.
