Questions
What owners ask before the call.
Every question we hear before an audit, answered plainly. If yours is not here, ask it in the form and we will answer it on the call.
How is this different from just using ChatGPT or Copilot?
Those tools answer questions. They cannot see your orders, your ledger or your bookings, and they cannot fix the fact that three systems disagree about one customer. We build the data layer that makes them useful, and the tools then run on it.
What does the audit cost, and what is the catch?
Nothing, and there is no catch. You keep the report, the Readiness Index and the mockup whether you build with us or not. We do it because businesses that have seen the mockup usually want the build, and we would rather earn that than sell it.
How long does the audit take?
Two weeks. Week one is access and assessment; week two is the report, the Index and the mockup, ending in a walkthrough with your team.
What do we need to give you access to?
Read access to the two or three systems that matter most, usually the accounting system, the sales or e-commerce platform and whatever holds customers. We name them on the first call. Nothing is changed during the audit.
What if we do not build with you afterwards?
Then you have a report, an Index and a mockup you can take to anyone. We would rather you built the right thing with someone else than the wrong thing with us.
Do you replace our current systems?
Rarely. Most of what you need is already licensed. We connect what you own and build only what is missing. Where something should go, we say so in the report with the reason.
Who actually does the work?
Senior data engineers who have designed, built and run production systems inside South African banking, logistics, e-commerce and retail. The engineers who run your audit are the engineers who build, and who answer for it afterwards.
What happens after go-live?
The system moves onto a monthly subscription. We keep it running as APIs change and the business grows, and we report on it monthly. The fee rewards a clean, healthy system: we do better when it needs less of us.
Do you work outside South Africa?
Yes. We are in Cape Town and work worldwide.
How do you handle our data and POPIA?
Read access only, scoped to the audit, revoked when it ends. Data we build for you lands in cloud accounts you own, in open formats.
