Custom software development
Custom software development for South African enterprises
We design and build internal platforms, workflow systems and mobile applications for organisations whose processes do not fit an off-the-shelf product.
Problems solved
What this fixes
Processes that do not fit a package
Off-the-shelf software forces workarounds that live in spreadsheets.
Capacity tied to headcount
Volume can only grow by adding staff, because the system cannot carry the work.
Lock-in and fragile builds
Past projects left code nobody else can maintain.

FAQ
Custom software development: common questions
How does an engagement start?
With a fixed-fee, two-week discovery. We map how the work really flows, decide what to build first and give you a written proposal with scope, timeline and price before any build.
How long does a typical project take?
A production first version is typically delivered within an 8 to 12 week cycle. Larger engagements are scoped during discovery with a clear roadmap and milestones.
Can you work on an existing application?
Yes. We regularly extend and automate existing systems, as we did for P-Connect's mobile application and the workflows behind it.
Who owns the code and the data?
You do. Work is delivered into repositories you control, documented as we go, and built on open, mainstream tooling your own team or another vendor can pick up.
