How we work
Fixed scope, fixed price, working software from the first weeks. Products are a monthly subscription; custom systems are a fixed price agreed before work starts.
We work on site in Zambia and remotely anywhere else, by video call and shared test versions, in your time zone where we can.
- Requirements
A visit, or a video call wherever you are, with the people who do the job today. We write down what the system must do and what it must not change.
- Proposal
A written scope, price and delivery date, so you know what you are paying for before anything is built.
- Build
A working version within the first weeks, then weekly updates you can test. Changes are agreed in writing.
- Launch and support
Setup, data import, staff training, and a support plan that covers hosting, backups and updates.
