/// 02_TECHNICAL_SPECS

Which platforms do you use for E-commerce?
We are platform-agnostic but highly specialized. We build on Shopify for rapid deployment, WooCommerce for flexibility, and deploy custom React/Node.js stacks for enterprise-grade requirements involving complex inventory management.
Do you integrate local payment gateways?
Yes. We seamlessly integrate South African and African payment gateways including PayFast, Yoco, Ozow (EFT), Peach Payments, and M-Pesa. We prioritize gateways that support mobile money to maximize conversion rates in the African market.
Can you develop custom mobile applications?
Yes. Our dev team builds native (iOS/Android) and cross-platform (Flutter/React Native) applications tailored to your business logic, whether it's for internal logistics or consumer-facing retail.
How does your VOIP solution work?
We provide a Hosted PBX solution. This means no physical hardware is required on your premises apart from the handsets. It runs over your internet connection, allows for geo-redundancy (work from anywhere), and includes features like call recording, IVR menus, and CRM integration.

Do you help with CIPC Registration?
Yes. We act as your intermediary with CIPC, handling new company registrations, annual return filings, and director amendments to ensure your entity remains active and compliant.
Can you assist with SARS tax clearance?
We assist in ensuring your tax profile is updated to obtain your Tax Clearance Pin. While we are digital architects, our compliance division works with registered tax practitioners to ensure your business is fiscal-ready for tenders.
