Custom business systems
Stock, clients, orders, invoices, staff or tasks — one place for your data, with the screens and reports you actually use.
// systems that think
We{sys} writes custom software for businesses — databases (SQL Server and Access), web applications and automation that fit exactly how you work — including for construction. No more loose spreadsheets and double work.
// services
Every business works differently. Instead of forcing you into generic software, we build the system around you.
Stock, clients, orders, invoices, staff or tasks — one place for your data, with the screens and reports you actually use.
Still running your business on an old Microsoft Access database? We repair and stabilise it, or move it safely to a modern system.
Design, management and integration of SQL Server databases: tables, relationships, queries and stored procedures, and linking your existing systems so data is captured only once.
Track every rand on site — diesel, materials, formwork, plant and labour — with monthly management reports and comparisons against the BOQ.
Systems that run in the browser — at the office, at home or on your phone — with nothing to install.
Let the system do the repetitive work: read slips and documents, sort data, compile reports and alert you when something needs attention.
We design your database properly from the start and build the reports that help you make better decisions.
Your system grows with your business. We stay available for changes, new features and help.
// process
A simple, transparent process. You always know where the project stands and what it costs.
We listen to how your business works and where it hurts. The first conversation is free.
We write down exactly what the system must do and give a fixed price per phase.
You see regular progress and test along the way, so the result works the way you need it to.
Training, documentation and support once the system is in use.
// systems
From major infrastructure projects to live auctions — a few examples of the systems we have built.
Systems that handled all the costs on the Coega harbour and OR Tambo's second terminal, with monthly management reports and comparisons against the BOQ.
Tracks what every person on site must have and do, and warns before anything expires.
Online auctions where the auctioneer, buyers and sellers work together in real time, with a full admin panel.
Systems for estate agencies to manage properties, agents and clients in one place.
Keeps expenses, fuel slips and bank statements in one place, so month-end is no longer a hunt through paper.
Detects corruption in Access forms and reports early and keeps backup snapshots of every form, so a damaged form can be restored without rebuilding it.
// why we{sys}

No middlemen or call centres — questions are answered quickly and personally.
You own your data and your system. Everything is documented, so you are never locked in.
We work in both languages, and your system can be bilingual too.
