Beyond South Africa
Built in South Africa. Ready for Australia, Europe and the Americas.
Our products were built for South African businesses, and they were built on platforms that do not stop at our borders. Every product is delivered as SaaS on Microsoft 365 and Azure, and every service is delivered remotely by default. That is how we work from Centurion, Cape Town and Sydney today, and it is how we deliver to the rest of the world.
Built on Microsoft, wherever you are
Every product runs on Microsoft 365 and Azure, the same platforms organisations already run in Sydney, London, Frankfurt and New York. There is nothing local to install and nothing that only works in South Africa.
Your data in your region
Our SaaS products run on Microsoft Azure, which lets us host your data in the Azure region your organisation and your regulator expect, rather than shipping it to South Africa.
Privacy law is familiar ground
We designed our products and services around POPIA, which is built on the same principles as Europe's GDPR and Australia's Privacy Act: purpose limits, security safeguards, breach notification and the right of access.
Priced in your currency
Pricing on this site shows in Australian dollars, euro or US dollars, depending on where you are browsing from, so there is no conversion to do before you can compare.
Time zones that work
South Africa shares most of the European working day, our Sydney presence covers Australia and New Zealand, and our afternoons overlap with mornings across the Americas.
Credentials that travel
Microsoft Solutions Partner designations are global, and our dark web intelligence comes from Flare, a partner with worldwide reach. What we are accredited for here is recognised there.
Australia and New Zealand
A presence in Sydney, pricing in Australian dollars and delivery in your business hours.
Europe
A full overlap with the European working day, euro pricing and privacy practices built on GDPR-aligned principles.
The Americas
Morning overlap with North and South America, US dollar pricing and SaaS products that run in your Microsoft tenant.

Telemarketing transformation with Golden Snacks
Client: Golden Snacks
Sector: Retail, private sector, food and beverage
Offering: Power Apps
The pain point: Initially, Golden Snacks managed their telemarketing call logs using Excel spreadsheets, a decentralised approach that led to a host of inefficiencies. Without a centralised system, it was challenging to track which telemarketers were making calls, whether customers were being reached, and if call targets were met consistently. This lack of visibility hindered accountability and made it difficult to generate actionable reports.
As requirements evolved, additional challenges emerged:
- Limited data access: telemarketers lacked real-time access to key store details (e.g. last call date, contact information and owner data) essential for meaningful customer interactions.
- Cumbersome order process: orders were placed outside the call logging system, forcing telemarketers to switch between applications like Omni, resulting in delays.
- Fragmented processes: what began as a simple call log soon required integrated order placement and invoice tracking, complicating the workflow further.
What we did: We transformed the outdated Excel-based process into a robust, end-to-end telemarketing solution that centralises and streamlines operations. Leveraging the Power Platform, our solution integrates data from multiple sources into one intuitive interface.
