Services

Software and technology work, done by people who run their own.

We design, build and support software for South African businesses: web and mobile applications, the systems behind them, and the plans and reports that keep them useful. The same skills built RouteClub.

Software development

Custom software for a job your business already does, or one it cannot do yet. We build the app people use, the admin side your team works in, and the server and database underneath.

Problems it solves

  • Work that runs on spreadsheets, WhatsApp groups and memory
  • An off the shelf product that almost fits, and costs more every month to work around
  • A customer process that needs to happen on a phone

What we deliver

  • Web applications and customer portals
  • Mobile apps for Android and iPhone
  • Admin dashboards and internal tools
  • APIs and database driven back ends
  • Payments, email, SMS and push notifications
  • Integrations with the services you already use

Digital products

We build and run our own product, RouteClub, so we know what a product needs beyond the code: sign up and verification, pricing and payments, policies, app store listings, support and the day after launch.

Problems it solves

  • An idea that needs a first version people can actually try
  • A product that works in a demo but is not ready for real users
  • Not knowing what a launch needs besides the app itself

What we deliver

  • Product scoping and a first release plan
  • Prototypes and first versions
  • App store and Google Play release preparation
  • Account, verification and payment flows
  • Privacy policy and terms checklists for the product (not legal advice)

Technology consulting

Independent advice on what to build, what to buy and what to leave alone, from people who build and operate software themselves.

Problems it solves

  • Quotes from suppliers that are hard to compare
  • A project that has stalled or grown beyond its budget
  • Existing systems nobody fully understands any more

What we deliver

  • Turning an idea into a written plan and scope
  • Comparing technology options and suppliers
  • Reviewing existing software, systems and costs
  • Coordinating delivery with your team and suppliers

Data and reporting

Most businesses already hold the information they need, spread across spreadsheets, systems and inboxes. We bring it together and turn it into reports people read.

Problems it solves

  • Monthly reports assembled by hand from several sources
  • Numbers that disagree depending on who pulled them
  • Data in a system with no useful way to get it out

What we deliver

  • Organising data in a spreadsheet or database
  • Regular reports and simple dashboards
  • Charts and visual reports for presentations
  • Exports and data clean up

IT and systems support

Hands on support for the systems a small business depends on, and clear documentation so the knowledge does not live in one person.

Problems it solves

  • Email, accounts and tools that were set up once and never looked at again
  • Staff losing time to the same problems every week
  • No written record of how anything is set up

What we deliver

  • Troubleshooting software, websites and apps
  • Setting up email, office and collaboration tools
  • Help for your staff and users
  • How to guides and system documentation

Process digitisation

We start by writing down how the work is actually done, then replace the slow parts with a simple system your people can use from day one.

Problems it solves

  • Paper forms that are retyped into a computer
  • Approvals that wait in someone’s inbox
  • Records that are hard to find when they are needed

What we deliver

  • Mapping and improving the current process
  • Simple systems for paper based work
  • Record keeping and information management
  • Written procedures and training material

How we build

The tools behind RouteClub.

RouteClub's mobile app, admin console and API are written in TypeScript end to end. We use the same tools for client work where they fit, and choose differently when your situation calls for it.

  • TypeScript
  • React
  • React Native and Expo
  • Next.js
  • Node.js
  • PostgreSQL
