Custom Applications · South Africa Software built
around the way you work.

When off-the-shelf software doesn’t fit, we build the application that does: client portals, owner dashboards, internal tools, booking and operations apps, and mobile apps. Scoped with you, built for you, then hosted and maintained.

ON THE MOVE

A clear scope.
A looked-after application.

01 / CALL

Start with 15 minutes.

Tell us what the tool should do, who will use it and which of your existing tools it needs to work with.

02 / QUOTE

Get a fixed quote.

We scope the build and quote it before any work begins, so you know what is included.

03 / BUILD

See it take shape.

Review the application as it is built and test it against your real work before launch.

04 / CARE

Hosted and maintained.

We host your application and keep it maintained after launch.

Pricing follows the scope.

Every build is scoped and quoted after a 15-minute call.

Individually scoped

One example.
A property business, run from its own Studio.

Ace High Property has a public commercial-property website. Behind it sits a private Studio, where the team manages the listings, content and reminders that keep the business running.

Logins for the
people who need them.

An application can give owners, team members and clients each their own view, with access matched to what they do.

The example on this page uses fictional names and records.

Before we begin.

How is a custom application priced?

Every build is scoped and quoted after a 15-minute call. You receive a fixed quote before any work begins.

Do I need a website as well?

No. A custom application can be a standalone project. If you also need a website, we can plan both together.

Can it work with the tools we already use?

We start by looking at the software you already rely on. The connections available depend on those tools, and we agree them in your scope.

Who hosts and looks after it?

We do. Your application is hosted and maintained by us after launch.

How is this different from Websites & Business Systems?

Websites & Business Systems connects your website to the work behind it: enquiries, bookings, invoices and follow-ups. Custom Applications is for software built around a specific job, whether or not it sits behind a website.

Zanette.ai’s AI concierge

Let’s start a conversation.

Website chat isn’t available right now. You can reach the team by email.

Email Zanette.ai
Your information

You choose what to share.

Submitting Starting Point saves your answers, contact details and recommendation with Zanette.ai. We use Vendasta CRM and an internal team notification to handle your enquiry. The form does not send you an automatic email. Sending your details asks Giovanni to contact you by email about your enquiry; it does not subscribe you to marketing.

When you submit an AI readiness assessment, your contact details, answers, result and separate report and follow-up choices are saved by Zanette.ai and sent to our Vendasta CRM. The result screen shows the delivery status. Example assessments remain in your browser.

Requesting your report is separate from allowing a follow-up about your assessment. Neither choice signs you up for marketing.

Olivia is a connected chat. Messages and details you send are processed by Zanette.ai through Vendasta, provided by iHeartMedia, to answer your questions and follow up on your enquiry.

The chat uses cookies to remember your conversation. Opening a consultation request prepares a draft; you review it and choose whether to send it. Questionnaire contact details are not added to that draft.

Consultations take place on Microsoft Teams and are recorded and transcribed with Fireflies so we can capture your requirements and agreed next steps. Fireflies stores the meeting audio, video, transcript and summary for Giovanni’s review.

Website forms use Vercel hosting and Neon database storage. Requested report emails use Resend, with replies going to Olivia. These providers may process information outside South Africa.

On our live website, Vercel Web Analytics measures visits, pages viewed, Olivia openings and successfully saved forms. It does not use analytics cookies. If you arrive through a campaign link, only its source, medium and campaign name are recorded with those counts, and we do not send your form answers, contact details or chat messages to analytics.
