Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about custom business automation

We use a consultant model, not monthly subscriptions. You pay once for development, then own the solution. Projects typically range from R15,000 to R50,000+ depending on complexity.

Pricing factors:

  • Number of systems to integrate (Xero, CRM, websites, spreadsheets)
  • Web scraping requirements (frequency, data volume)
  • Desktop automation complexity
  • Custom web app features and UI
  • SARS/POPIA compliance requirements

Examples: Simple automation (R15k-R25k), Multi-system integration (R25k-R40k), Custom web app (R40k+)

No monthly fees. Once built, you own it.

3 weeks from kickoff to go-live:

  • Week 1: Connect to Xero, configure branded template
  • Week 2: Test transactions, refine VAT formatting
  • Week 3: Go live with monitoring and support

Most of the work happens on our side. You'll need about 2-3 hours total for meetings and template approval.

Yes. We follow POPIA-compliant security practices:

  • Xero webhooks use HMAC-SHA256 signature verification
  • We only receive invoice payment notifications, not full financial data
  • Receipt generation happens on secure servers
  • No customer data is stored permanently
  • All connections use HTTPS encryption

We're a Cape Town-based company subject to South African data protection laws.

Yes. Every receipt includes all required SARS tax invoice elements:

  • Your VAT registration number
  • Company registration details
  • Tax invoice wording
  • Itemized amounts with VAT breakdown
  • Payment date and reference numbers
  • Customer details

We build this for South African businesses, so SARS compliance is built-in, not an afterthought.

Minor tweaks (wording changes, email adjustments) are included in the first 3 weeks post-launch.

After that, we offer:

  • Ad-hoc support: R1,500/hour for changes or troubleshooting
  • Retainer option: R5,000/month for ongoing support and updates

Most clients don't need ongoing support—once it's running, it just works. But we're here if you need us.

No. We handle all the technical work:

  • Xero API integration
  • Webhook configuration
  • Server setup and hosting
  • Email delivery automation

You just need access to your Xero account (admin level) to authorize the connection. Everything else is on us.
