Industries
Industry software solutions across six very different sectors
We are domain-agnostic on purpose. Construction, accounting, energy, professional services, retail and logistics look nothing alike - but each one has operational detail that generic software flattens and then loses.
Where we work, and what breaks there
Each of these is a real category of problem we have modelled: what goes wrong, and the system that fixes it.
The problemLabour, plant, subcontractors and compliance records spread across site WhatsApp groups, paper job cards and one spreadsheet nobody else can open.
What we buildEmployee and trade registers, asset and plant tracking, assignment scheduling, document control and per-project cost visibility in one operational system.
- Employee, trade and certification registers
- Asset and plant assignment tracking
- Job cards and site document control
- Project cost and margin reporting
The problemA double-entry ledger, VAT-valid invoicing and SARS-compliant payroll that has to be right every month, not approximately right.
What we buildUBooks - our own accounting and ERP platform - plus custom reporting, bank-statement automation and integrations into the systems a finance team already uses.
- Double-entry general ledger and trial balance
- PAYE, UIF and SDL on current SARS tax tables
- Bank statement import with automatic matching
- Aged debtors and creditors reporting
The problemInverters, batteries and meters each produce data in their own format, and nobody can see load, generation and state of charge on one screen in time to act on it.
What we buildTelemetry ingestion from inverters and sensors, time-series storage, live dashboards and threshold alerting - including off-grid and time-of-use logic.
- Inverter and battery telemetry ingestion
- Live load, solar and grid dashboards
- Time-of-use and off-grid charging control
- Threshold alerting and historical trends
The problemBillable time, retainers, deliverables and client documents tracked in four tools that do not reconcile at month end.
What we buildClient and matter records, time capture, recurring billing, document management and utilisation reporting that agrees with the invoices.
- Client, matter and engagement records
- Time capture and utilisation reporting
- Recurring retainer billing
- Secure client document access
The problemStock counts drift from the system, trade and retail pricing are maintained by hand, and margin per line is a guess.
What we buildStock control across warehouses, tiered and bulk price lists, purchase-order-to-bill traceability and margin reporting per item.
- Multi-warehouse stock control
- Trade, wholesale and shelf price lists
- Purchase order to bill traceability
- Per-item margin reporting
The problemJobs are dispatched by phone, proof of delivery arrives as a photo in a chat, and the courier system does not talk to the invoicing system.
What we buildDispatch and scheduling, mobile-first job capture, courier and tracking API integration, and automated billing off completed jobs.
- Dispatch and route scheduling
- Mobile job capture and proof of delivery
- Courier and tracking API integration
- Automated billing from completed jobs
The same disciplines, sector by sector
Whatever the industry, the work is one of these. The difference is the domain model, the regulations and the vocabulary - which is what discovery is for.
Build
New systems, shaped around how the business already runs.
Connect & automate
Data moving between systems without anybody retyping it.
Run & secure
Production kept fast, patched, backed up and hard to break into.
Advise
An independent technical opinion before the money is committed.
Your industry not listed?
That is not a problem - it is the normal case. The method starts with learning your operation, so an unfamiliar sector is where we do our best work.
A reply from a developer. Not a sales pipeline. The person who reads your message is the person who would do the work.
An honest answer on fit. If an off-the-shelf product solves your problem better than a custom build, we will tell you which one.
No obligation. A first conversation costs nothing and commits you to nothing. Discovery output is yours either way.
