We design and build production-grade web, mobile and back-end systems for fintech, retail and logistics teams across South Africa and beyond — the kind that have to work at 11pm on Black Friday, not just in a demo.
We’re a small senior team. You get the people who design the system also writing the code — not a sales team and a hand-off.
Production React, Next.js and Vue 3 apps — from internal tools to customer-facing platforms used by thousands of staff every day.
Cross-platform iOS and Android with Capacitor, Ionic and React Native. Native Swift where it has to be native.
Node, TypeScript and serverless on AWS. Auth, payments, multi-tenancy and the boring infrastructure that has to never fail.
Card-present and online payments — ecentric, Paymentus, terminal integrations, reconciliation. We've shipped this in production.
Serverless on AWS (SST), Terraform-managed infrastructure, deploy pipelines that engineers actually trust.
We work as an extension of your product team. Discovery, scope, prototypes, then build — without the agency-vs-client adversarial dance.
We’ve seen enough botched consultancy engagements to know what actually matters. These hold whether the project is six weeks or eighteen months.
Source lives in your version control from the first commit. No vendor lock-in, no held-hostage code, no migration headache when we hand over.
The people who design the system also write the code. No sales team, no hand-off to a junior pool, no offshore cost-cutting.
Transparent quotes against written scope. No mid-build “discovery phase” that doubles the bill. When the scope shifts, you see the new number before we touch the code.
Demos in real code you can click and pick apart — not slide decks. You see progress every week, not at the end of the quarter.
A selection of recent engagements. Some clients we can’t name — so we’ve described the shape of the work instead.
Vue 3 + serverless platform powering thousands of daily transactions across a national footprint of stores. Integrated card-present payments, offline-first checkout, and a multi-app frontend monorepo serving counter, kitchen and back-office surfaces.
Sub-second checkout, multi-store rollout, terminal-integrated payments across multiple acquirers.
Driver mobile app, dispatcher dashboard and reporting platform for a national logistics operator. Offline-tolerant route execution, real-time tracking and proof of delivery, plus a Next.js operations console.
Hundreds of active drivers, real-time visibility across the fleet, faster route closeout.
Multi-tenant web platform tracking high-value equipment movement worldwide between operating companies. Continent-scale routing, complex multi-party permissioning, audit trails, and integrations into enterprise ERP and payment workflows.
Deployed across continents and operating companies, with reconciliation time cut substantially.
Evidence-based video-lecture platform for doctors, nurses and medical students across the Nordics. Custom video pipeline, gamification and student-teacher interaction over a 7-specialty content library, with editorial workflows that map every lecture to current clinical guidelines.
90,000+ active learners across Scandinavia; 700,000+ feedback responses at a 96/100 average score across 375+ lectures.
A live arbitrage platform for UK → Ireland used-car imports. Ingests current UK listings, runs the full landed-cost calculation (purchase price + VRT + VAT + shipping + customs) against current Irish sale prices, applies live FX, and surfaces only the listings with positive net profit. Angular front-end over a PHP/MySQL back-end.
Turned cross-border car importing from a gut-feel hunt into a sorted live list of every currently-listed vehicle scored on landed cost, sale price and net ROI.
The till has to work at 11pm on Black Friday — that was the brief, and that's what they built. Checkout stayed sub-second through our busiest trading days.
No surprises is the best thing I can say about a dev team. Weekly demos, decisions in writing, and scope conversations that were honest rather than optimistic.
The timezone genuinely works — they were in our morning stand-up every day, and specs never lost meaning between us.
The people who scope your project are the people who build it. No account layer, no juniors learning on your budget.
Runs Atara end to end — the first scoping call, an honest quote, and the delivery cadence that keeps projects on track. Your single point of contact from enquiry to launch.
Senior engineers across Vue, React, Next.js, native mobile and AWS — 12+ years shipping retail POS, payments, logistics and clinical systems. Brought onto your project as scope demands. Never juniors.
We’re not your agency. We’re your engineering team for the duration — code in your repo from day one, decisions in writing, no quarter-long surprises.
A short paid engagement to understand the problem, users, constraints and the existing technical reality. Output: a written scope you can read in 15 minutes.
We build the risky part first — the integration, the workflow, the bit nobody's sure about — in working code, not slides.
Weekly demos, code in your repo from day one, decisions in writing. No quarter-long surprises.
We stay on as your team for ongoing development, on-call and the long tail of small improvements that compound into a great product.
Tell us about it. A paragraph is enough — we’ll come back within a day with whether we’re the right fit, and a sensible next step.
