Our story
From bespoke systems to our own platform
We've been building business software for around 30 years, much of it for manufacturing and drafting businesses, where getting the detail right actually matters. Many of those systems are still running today.
We're a South African company, but our work travels: we build and support systems for clients in Australia too. Along the way we built our own platform, Vali, from scratch, and it is the foundation we build many new client systems on.
Today we do four things: custom software development, hosting and server management, consulting, and monthly development and support retainers. The thread is the same one it has always been: find the real problem, then build something that earns its keep.
Why it matters
Software is a long-term relationship
-
01
Senior and founder-led
You work directly with senior people who have shipped real software for decades, not a bench of juniors or a wall of account managers.
-
02
Still here, decades in
We host, support and keep improving what we build. Plenty of the systems we shipped years ago are still running, because we never walked away from them.
-
03
We build on what we own
We built Vali, our own platform, from the ground up, so we understand our tools all the way down and you are never stuck waiting on someone else's roadmap.
