Approach

Methodology that
delivers results.

We've built systems for businesses dealing with real inventory, real invoices, real reconciliation nightmares. We understand the problem before we write code.

01

Measure

Before optimizing anything, we establish baselines. Response times, error rates, infrastructure costs, API latency—if we can't measure it, we can't improve it. Every project starts with data, not assumptions.

02

Optimize

With clear metrics in hand, we implement targeted improvements. Database indexes, caching layers, query optimization, infrastructure right-sizing. Each change is isolated, tested, and deployed with confidence.

03

Validate

The work isn't done until the numbers prove it. We verify improvements against our baselines, document the changes, and ensure the gains are sustainable. No smoke and mirrors—just verifiable results.

We've been on your side of the desk.

Before building systems for other businesses, we ran our own. We've dealt with inventory discrepancies at 2am, Xero reconciliation errors, and the frustration of software that doesn't understand how business actually works. That experience shapes everything we build.

Results

Numbers don't lie.

Real improvements from real projects. No client names needed—the metrics speak for themselves.

E-commerce Platform Overhaul

Retail • 50K+ monthly orders

Legacy platform struggling under load. We migrated to Laravel with Redis caching, optimized Elasticsearch queries, and deployed to Vapor. Result: 6x faster page loads, zero downtime during Black Friday peak.

Xero Integration Rescue

Manufacturing • R2M+ monthly invoicing

Existing integration dropping invoices and creating duplicate entries. We rebuilt with proper queue handling, idempotency keys, and comprehensive error recovery. Finance team now trusts their numbers again.

Tech Stack

Tools we trust,
for good reasons.

We're not married to any technology. These are the tools that consistently deliver the best results for the problems we solve.

LA

Laravel

Our framework of choice. Elegant syntax, powerful features, and a mature ecosystem. Perfect for complex business logic.

LI

Livewire

Reactive interfaces without the JavaScript framework overhead. Faster development, simpler maintenance.

AW

AWS / Vapor

Serverless Laravel deployment. Auto-scaling, zero-downtime deployments, and infrastructure you don't have to manage.

MY

MySQL / PostgreSQL

Relational databases done right. Proper indexing, query optimization, and data integrity that your business depends on.

RE

Redis

Caching, queues, real-time features. The performance multiplier that turns slow applications into fast ones.

TA

Tailwind CSS

Utility-first CSS for rapid, consistent UI development. Custom design systems without fighting the framework.

XE

Xero / Sage

Deep integration experience with South African accounting systems. Proper reconciliation, not just basic syncing.

AL

Alpine.js

Lightweight JavaScript for interactive elements. No build step required, works perfectly with Livewire.

GI

GitHub Actions

CI/CD pipelines that run your tests, check your code quality, and deploy with confidence. Every time.

We pick tools based on outcomes, not trends. Every technology in our stack has been battle-tested across multiple production deployments. If something better comes along, we'll adopt it—but only after we've proven it works.

Contact
