SSFD Talk to us

Something in your business is harder than it should be.

We help South African small businesses
solve practical technology problems.
Tell us what's happening and we'll work it out.

What's giving you trouble?

Sometimes the answer is something you already have.
Sometimes it's free.

We'll tell you either way, even when there's no work in it for us.

A desk buried in paper, glowing lines tangled above it

Tell us what's happening.

In your own words. You don't need the right words for it, just what keeps going wrong, what takes too long, or what you keep doing by hand.

The same desk, one glowing line traced through the tangle

We'll work out what's actually causing it.

The thing that annoys you is often not the thing causing it. We look at how the work actually moves through your business before we suggest anything.

The same desk, clear, one clean line running straight across

Then we'll find the simplest sensible fix.

Open source first. Something you already own, a change to how it is set up, or a small tool built for the job. Custom software only when nothing else will do.

The kinds of problems people bring us.

You don't have to fit your problem into one of these. If something is making the work
harder than it should be, start there.

  • Documents

    Information stuck in PDFs, scans and forms that somebody has to retype. Invoices, statements and delivery notes, pulled out into something you can actually work with.

  • Automation

    The same job, every week, by hand. If it follows a rule, it can usually be done for you while you get on with the rest.

  • Spreadsheets

    The workbook that started simple and now only one person understands. Cleaned up, made harder to break, or replaced if it has outgrown itself.

  • Custom tools

    When nothing off the shelf fits the way you actually work. A small tool that does your job properly beats a big system that nearly does.

  • IT troubleshooting

    The computer, printer, network or program that keeps letting you down. We find out why, instead of guessing and hoping.

  • Websites

    Slow, broken, out of date, or embarrassing to send anyone to. Fixed where it can be fixed, rebuilt smaller and simpler when that costs less.

Got a business problem that shouldn't be this difficult?

Tell us what's happening in plain words. You don't need to know what the fix is. Working that out is our job.
