▋
From the first wireframe to the production incident at 2am. You never have to stitch together three agencies to get one product out the door.
Bespoke business systems, internal tools, ERPs, CRMs and workflow engines built exactly around how your company actually operates.
Fast, accessible, SEO-strong web platforms — customer portals, SaaS dashboards, booking systems and marketing sites that convert.
iOS and Android apps from a single codebase, or fully native when performance demands it. Store submission and release management included.
Migrations, infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD pipelines, autoscaling, observability and cost optimisation on AWS, Azure and Google Cloud.
LLM assistants, document processing, forecasting, recommendation engines, data warehouses and dashboards that turn your data into decisions.
Storefronts, marketplaces and subscription billing wired into PayFast, Yoco, Peach, Ozow, Stripe and PayPal — local and cross-border.
Research, user flows, design systems and high-fidelity prototypes. We design for the people who actually use the thing — not for awards.
Automated test suites, load testing, penetration testing and POPIA / GDPR-aware engineering baked into the pipeline, not bolted on later.
Retainers for maintenance, upgrades, feature work and on-call response — so your platform keeps improving after launch day.
Most "AI features" are a chatbot glued to a landing page. We ship assistants, agents and retrieval systems that are grounded in your own data, measured against real evals, and cheap enough to run at scale.
In-product chat that answers from your documents, tickets and database — with citations, not guesses.
Models that actually do things — call your APIs, fill forms, chase approvals — over MCP and function calling, with a human in the loop where it matters.
Invoices, contracts, IDs, claims and statements turned into clean structured data — with confidence scores and a review queue for the edge cases.
Call transcription and summaries, WhatsApp bots, quality inspection from photos, and OCR that copes with a crumpled delivery note.
Demand planning, churn and credit scoring, dynamic pricing and recommendations — classic ML where classic ML still wins.
Test suites for prompts, hallucination and PII guardrails, caching and model routing to cut spend, plus tracing so you can see why it answered that.
The architecture behind every assistant we ship — no magic, just plumbing done properly.
Model-agnostic by design: we benchmark options against your task and route between them, so you are never locked to one vendor's pricing or roadmap.
South African engineering talent gives international clients senior-level delivery at a fraction of London or New York rates — and gives local clients a partner in the same timezone who answers the phone.
No juniors billed at senior rates. The people in your kickoff call are the people writing your code.
A written scope, a fixed price and a delivery date. Change requests are priced before anyone starts typing.
Repos, cloud accounts, domains, credentials and IP are yours from day one. No lock-in, no ransom.
SAST (UTC+2) overlaps a full working day with Europe and the UK, and mornings with the US east coast.
POPIA, GDPR and PCI considerations designed in — data residency, consent, audit trails and encryption.
Documented, tested, containerised. If you ever take it in-house, your team can pick it up in a week.
No black boxes. You see working software every two weeks and know exactly what it costs.
A free scoping session where we map the business problem, users, integrations and constraints. You leave with a written brief whether you hire us or not.
Clickable prototype, data model, infrastructure plan and a fixed quote broken down per feature. You approve before anything is built.
Two-week cycles with a live demo environment, a Monday standup summary and a burn-down you can see. Change your mind early and it costs nothing.
Automated tests, load and security testing, data migration, staged rollout and a rollback plan. We deploy — you sleep.
Monitoring, SLAs, monthly improvement roadmaps and cost tuning as your traffic grows. Or a clean handover to your own team.
Proven architectures we tailor to your business — so you are not paying for someone to invent the wheel on your budget.
KYC onboarding, ledgered wallets, recurring collections, reconciliation and an audit trail regulators are happy with.
Live GPS tracking, route optimisation, proof-of-delivery capture, driver app and a customer-facing tracking link.
Bookings, secure records, e-scripts, medical-aid claims and reminders — built with POPIA and HIPAA-style controls.
Storefront, POS sync, stock across warehouses, loyalty, and an AI assistant that answers product questions and recovers carts.
We pick the stack that fits your team and budget for the next five years, not the one that trends this month.
Every model includes source-code ownership, documentation and a named delivery lead. Indicative ranges — your exact quote comes out of the free scoping session.
Best for a defined product, MVP or website with a clear finish line.
Best for an evolving product that needs continuous engineering capacity.
Best for live systems that need maintenance, fixes and steady improvement.
Still unsure about something? Ask us directly — we answer every enquiry within one business day.
Ask a questionYes — a large part of our work is for clients in the UK, Europe, the Middle East, the US and Australia. SAST (UTC+2) gives us a full overlapping workday with Europe and the UK, and morning overlap with North America. We invoice in ZAR, USD, GBP or EUR.
It depends entirely on scope, but a focused MVP typically lands between R95,000 and R450,000, and larger platforms are quoted per module. The scoping session is free and produces a line-item quote you can compare against other vendors — even if you choose one of them.
You do — completely, from the first commit. Repositories, cloud accounts, domains and credentials are created in your name where possible, and IP assignment is written into the contract. There is no licence fee and no lock-in.
A marketing site or internal tool: 2–6 weeks. A mobile app or SaaS MVP: 8–16 weeks. An enterprise platform: 4–9 months, delivered in phases so you get value long before the final release.
Often, yes. We start with a paid technical audit — a report on code quality, security, infrastructure and effort to stabilise — then give you an honest recommendation on whether to continue the codebase or rebuild the weak parts.
Every project includes a 30-day warranty on defects. After that you can take it in-house with our handover pack, or move onto a support retainer with monitoring, SLAs and pooled hours for new features.
Privacy requirements are treated as architecture, not paperwork: data minimisation, consent capture, role-based access, encryption in transit and at rest, audit logging, retention rules and a documented data-flow map you can hand to your information officer.
Tell us in two sentences. We will come back within one business day with an honest view of what it takes — scope, timeline and cost.
