Software developers in South Africa
We want to introduce you to our software development services. As a team that has worked on various software development projects from various industries in South Africa, you can rest assured that your project is in capable hands. Our domain expertise spans from working with Private hospitals, Restaurants, Boutique Hotels, General Practitioners, Educational Psychologists, Financial Institutions, and Dietitians. Our industry coverage is expanding, and we also have in-house software development projects such as E-commerce Systems, Content Management, & Financial Accounting Systems.

Our project completion success rate is currently at 93%.
Project abandonment rate (clients deciding to quit on a development project ) is at 2% - The entire 2% is a result of clients' changes to operation strategies within their business.

Our Team

Our team is composed of expert individuals with more than 10 years of experience within the software development industry, specializing in custom and standard projects. Please note that we do not accept any project within our team; acceptance largely depends on the project scope, resource allocation, and the client's profile from our vetting process.

Our Process

Step 1: Consultation

Unlike a traditional onboarding process, all of our clients have to go through a mandatory consultation before a quotation can be produced. No matter the project scope, there's no project that is classified as small within our team. Consultation fees will differ depending on the project scope and design. For more on our consultation fees, visit our consultation pricing page .

The consultation is part of our quality service delivery policy, and it helps our team to liaise with the client on idea vetting, since a client might have an idea they would like to implement, but the budgetary requirements for such a project haven't been considered. The consultation assists us in reshaping the idea with the client's objectives in mind. As a result, this process has helped us not only avoid over-quoting clients but also finish projects within budgetary requirements.

Step 2: Quotation and Requirements Analysis

After the consultation, we will then be able to provide you with a quotation and a proposed solution implementation. Our solution implementations also have an operational cost analysisThe journey of software development doesn't end when the project is finished; when the software is being used, there are costs that are directly involved to keep the systems running, such as server hosting costs, database management systems, etc. We make sure that we not only provide a software solution for you, but also build it in a manner that minimizes operational costs.

Step 3: Solution Design

Although steps 2 and 3 might be seen as overlapping, we prefer treating step 3 as independent, with an in-depth design of the proposed solution to a granular level. If our team identifies discrepancies within the initial proposed solution that is being revealed through the stage of solution design, those discrepancies are remedied and communicated with the client for approval prior to the actual development taking place.

Step 4: Development Phase

This is the phase in which the actual development takes place. Our approach within this phase is more involved; we require a client to timely avail themselves for planned progress reports and product review meetings, our 93% success rate comes from our team using this approach.
Based on our historical data, all projects that are executed with client involvement have been enormously successful in terms of the quality of work delivered and within the projected development timeline.

Step 5: Testing Phase

All our developed systems are tested and validated for functionality and quality purposes. We understand that systems used by the business clients have a direct impact on the brand image of the business; therefore, we do not release or publish a system without performing an end-to-end test or a client simulation.

Step 6: Deployment and Support

This is the final phase, we do not publish the system and cut ties with the client, unless the client has a solid plan in terms of support after we have deployed the system, clients are not obligated to use our services through out, how ever after a launch we typically provide technical support and monitoring on the system so that we provide timely udjustments if there issues detected within the system.
