One Team. Any Size of App.

Some clients need a booking app by Friday. Others need a system that 700 reps use in 55,000 stores. We do both, and the same engineers look after both.

Dashboard reports

An App Without Reports Is Just Noise

Collecting data isn't the goal. Understanding it is. A team logging visits, checklists or stock counts only creates value when that information shows you what's really happening on the ground.

  • Generate a live dashboard from your app's data in a single click
  • See productivity, store coverage, stock and pricing at a glance
  • Filter by date, region, team member or location

AI image recognition

Let the App Check the Photos

Reps photograph the shelf; our image recognition counts facings, checks pricing and flags problems, so managers don't have to review every picture.

  • Automated shelf and planogram audits
  • Product counts and share of shelf
  • Photo verification against fraud

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers before you get in touch.

How much does a mobile app cost?

You get free credit to build your first apps, so you can try it at no cost. Once your app is live, you pay a monthly licence based on how large and complex it is: a simple booking app costs far less than an enterprise platform with integrations. Our engineering team is ready to help at any stage, from your first build to complex custom work.

Do you work with clients outside South Africa?

Yes. We are based in South Africa and build for clients worldwide. Everything is delivered and supported remotely, and our hosting serves users in any country.

How long does it take to build an app?

Simple apps can be running in minutes from a description. Custom business apps typically go live in days to weeks, not months.

Do you build for small businesses or only large companies?

Both. We build simple apps for small businesses and individuals, and complex, integrated platforms for large enterprises.

Do you host and maintain the app?

Yes. We host, back up, secure and maintain every app we build for as long as it is live.

Should I build a PWA or a native app?

Most business apps work best as a progressive web app (PWA): one build that runs on Android, iPhone and desktop, installs from a link and updates instantly. We recommend native only when an app needs deep device features.
