Remote, but close to Cape Town
Time-zone overlap
South Africa is three and a half hours behind India, so our working days overlap for most of your morning and early afternoon.
The Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA)
We design to POPIA's conditions for lawful processing: purpose limits, security safeguards and data-subject access, with data hosted in South African cloud regions when required. We sign NDAs before work starts.
Billing
Invoices in South African rand (ZAR) or US dollars. Typical senior rates are $25 to $49 (USD) per hour, or a fixed price for a defined scope.
Where we help Cape Town businesses most
Cape Town startups use us for SaaS, e-commerce and AI products, with a strong daily overlap in working hours and privacy designed to POPIA.
Mining
Mines invest in safety, monitoring and automation systems. We start with one costly process and automate it end to end.
Financial services
Banks and insurers lead in mobile and digital channels. We build AI agents, assistants and automation around these workflows.
Retail
National chains expand e-commerce and loyalty programmes. AI here usually means faster reporting, fewer manual steps and better customer replies.
Tourism and wine
Operators and estates sell to international visitors online. We start with one costly process and automate it end to end.
