Software built for how you actually work.
Somewhere in your operation there is a job nobody can find, a stock figure nobody trusts, and a spreadsheet only one person can open. That layer isn’t a people problem — it’s the gap where a system should be.

None of this is unusual.

What we build
What we could build for you
Illustrations of what a custom build can look like — to show the shape of the work, not client case studies. Pick one to see how the pieces fit.
One system that carries a job from first enquiry to paid invoice — no spreadsheets in between, every status visible to the whole team.
R50 000 – R250 000
Custom doesn’t have to mean slow. We use the same toolchain for every build — TypeScript, Postgres, modern frameworks — so every project starts from a battle-tested foundation instead of a blank page, and ships faster than you’d expect. Where a build lands in that range comes down to:
Scope & roles
How many workflows and distinct user roles the system has to serve.
Integrations
How many existing systems it has to talk to — accounting, CRM, payment, stock.
Money-sensitivity
Whether it handles invoicing, payments or stock, where mistakes are expensive.
Data & migration
Volume of historical data to migrate and the reporting it has to power.
Four phases from friction
to flow.
Understand.
We learn your business deeply. Where the friction lives. Where the time goes. What you've already tried.
- Process map
- Friction inventory
- Opportunity ranking
Design.
We map the system. Sketch the interface. Define the data. You see exactly what we're going to build before a single line of code.
- System blueprint
- Interface mockups
- Data model
Build.
We ship in weeks, not quarters. You see progress every few days — real software, in real workflows, tested by the people who'll use it.
- Weekly demos
- Staged rollouts
- User testing
Evolve.
Software should grow with the business. We stay close after launch. Refining, expanding, automating the next bottleneck.
- Live support
- Iterations
- Next-phase planning
Why teams pick WeShift
Questions, answered
- How accurate is the estimate above?
- It's indicative — a feel for where a build like yours lands, not a quote. The real figure comes after a short scoping call where we pin down the exact workflows, integrations and data.
- Do we own the software you build?
- Completely. You own the code, the data and the documentation — no per-seat licences, no lock-in. If you ever wanted to take it in-house or to another team, you can.
- Why not just use off-the-shelf software?
- Off-the-shelf works when your process matches the tool's assumptions. When it doesn't, you end up bending your operation around the software — or paying people to bridge the gap by hand every week. Custom is for when that gap costs more than building the thing properly.
- How long does a custom build take?
- Most land in 6–12 weeks, with larger platforms running longer. You see working software every week — not a quarterly roadmap and a list of risks.
- What does the monthly cost cover?
- Hosting, monitoring, support and small iterations. We agree it up front as part of the scope, separate from the once-off build fee.
Let’s build exactly
what you need.
One conversation, no sales script. You describe the problem; we show you the path forward.
