Services.

Two ways in: subscribe to a product that's already live and running, or commission something built for you. Either way you deal directly with the engineer who builds, hosts and maintains it — quoted in ZAR, run from South Africa.

TradeJot

Quotes, invoices & jobs for small businesses

The office in your pocket for any small business that sends a quote or an invoice — a second-hand shop, a maker, a service provider, a trade. Message it on Telegram like you'd message a client — or use the web dashboard — and your quoting, invoicing, scheduling and follow-ups handle themselves.

  • Quote → invoice → paid — professional PDFs, numbered and VAT-ready.
  • Jobs & clients in one place — schedule work, track parts, follow up.
  • Telegram + web — no app to install; works on the phone you already have.
  • Built for SA small business — ZAR pricing, plain language, no fuss.
Free tier available.

Werktyd

Face-scan clock-in & timesheets

Workers clock in and out with a quick face scan — or a PIN, always offered, no penalty. Owners get live timesheets and one-click payroll export. Sign-up and onboarding happen over Telegram and the web; there is no app to install.

  • Face or PIN clock-in — fast at the gate, no buddy-punching.
  • Live timesheets — see who's on site right now, from anywhere.
  • Payroll export — hours, overtime and totals ready for pay run.
  • POPIA-built — stores a numeric face template, never the photo.
Free tier available.

Virtual Doorbell

A doorbell with no doorbell

A visitor at your gate opens a link and your phone rings on Telegram — wherever you are. You see and speak to them, then decide. Nothing is installed at the gate, and nothing is installed on their phone.

  • Nothing for the visitor to install — they open a link and call.
  • Rings are unlimited — video is the only thing that is metered.
  • Answer from anywhere — it reaches your phone on Telegram, not a box on the wall.
  • Quiet hours and pausing — the gate can stop waking the house at night.
Free tier available.

4 capabilities

Websites & web apps

Marketing sites · dashboards · portals

Fast, clean sites and web applications — from a business landing page that loads instantly to a full client portal with logins, roles and reporting. Self-hosted, no platform lock-in, no monthly builder fees.

  • Design, build, domain, hosting and SSL — handled.
  • Own your code and your content — leave any time, take everything.

Backends & integrations

APIs · databases · admin panels · payments

The machinery behind the screen: databases designed properly, APIs that don't fall over, admin panels your staff actually use, and integrations with the tools you already run — including SA payment providers.

  • Node.js · Postgres · the same stack my own products run on.
  • Security first: encrypted data, audit logs, tested backups.

AI assistants & automation

Chat assistants · document pipelines · ops bots

Assistants that answer customers, capture leads, read documents and keep your stock straight — on Telegram or your website. Like the stock assistant RND Automation runs its stores on.

  • Grounded in your data — quotes your prices, knows your stock.
  • Photo and PDF pipelines — invoices in, structured records out.

Industrial & embedded

With RND Automation · PLC · field electronics

Machinery and field hardware run through RND Automation: custom bagging, screening and packaging machines, PLC control retrofits, and ESP32/LoRa electronics for farms and security.

  • Design → build → commission → service, one accountable team.
  • Field-proven: gate controllers, irrigation, LoRa sensor links.
03 · How commissioning works

Three steps, no theatre

Tell me the problem

Use the form below. Describe the job in your own words — what's slow, what's manual, what keeps going wrong. No spec document needed.

Fixed scope, ZAR quote

I reply with questions, then a written scope and a fixed price in rand. You'll know exactly what you're getting and what it costs before anything starts.

Build, ship, run

I build it, you test it against the real thing, and it goes live on solid hosting. Maintenance and support are agreed up front — nothing gets abandoned after launch.
