Built for Johannesburg teams
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.
Industries we work with in Johannesburg
Johannesburg and Sandton companies in finance and insurance use us for platforms, integrations and AI automation, designed to POPIA.
Mining
Mines invest in safety, monitoring and automation systems. We build AI agents, assistants and automation around these workflows.

Banks and insurers lead in mobile and digital channels. AI here usually means faster reporting, fewer manual steps and better customer replies.
Retail
National chains expand e-commerce and loyalty programmes. We start with one costly process and automate it end to end.
Tourism and wine
Operators and estates sell to international visitors online. We build AI agents, assistants and automation around these workflows.
