Custom Software Development
Custom software development for businesses worldwide, delivered from South Africa. We build internal tools, back-office systems and integrations between the software you already use, built with the same engineering standard behind SimpleApps' own live products used by real businesses today. Looking for a customer-facing web application instead? See Web Application Development.
What's included
Built around your process
Software shaped to how your business actually operates, not a generic template you have to work around.
Internal tools & back-office systems
Purpose-built tools for your own team: staff-facing systems that don't need the polish (or budget) of a public product.
Real databases, real accounts
Proper user accounts, permissions and a real database behind the scenes, built to scale past a spreadsheet or a single-user tool.
Integrates with what you have
Connects to payment providers, messaging platforms, and other software you already rely on, rather than working in isolation.
Hosting & support included
We host, monitor and support what we build. You get a working product, not just source code handed over.
Proven at production scale
The same engineering approach behind Shepherdly, 8tend, Loyalty, NeighbourHub, SimpleApps Learners, SimpleApps Forms and SimpleApps Studio: all live products serving real users today.

Questions people ask
What kind of software do you build?
Anything from a focused internal tool to a full customer-facing web or mobile-friendly application, with real accounts, a real database, and integrations with the tools you already use.
Do you host it once it's built?
Yes, hosting, monitoring and ongoing support are included, so you get a running product, not just handed-over source code.
How do you prove you can deliver?
We run our own products the same way: Shepherdly, 8tend, Loyalty, NeighbourHub, SimpleApps Learners, SimpleApps Forms and SimpleApps Studio are all live, in production, serving real businesses today.
How much does custom software cost?
It depends entirely on scope, so we quote per project. Tell us what you need and we'll give you a clear, fixed quote up front.
