Bespoke Software Design & Agile Software Building

Software design encompasses the foundational architecture: database schema modeling, user journey wireframing, API interface definition, concurrency planning, and security protocols created BEFORE code is written. Good software design ensures your system scales without needing costly rewrites as user load grows.

A scoped software MVP or client portal typically starts from R28,500 to R75,000 ZAR. Complex enterprise platforms with multi-tenant permissions, automated reconciliation, and ERP integrations range from R95,000 to R250,000+. Moonlit provides fixed-price, milestone-based scopes with 100% IP ownership. View our transparent tiers on our Agency Pricing page.

You retain 100% intellectual property (IP) and source code ownership. We transfer GitHub repositories, database credentials, architecture documentation, and deployment keys upon completion. You are never locked into proprietary agency hosting.

We engineer modern, scalable software using Next.js, React, TypeScript, Node.js, C#, Convex, and PostgreSQL, deployed on modern cloud and edge infrastructure including AWS, Cloudflare, and Vercel.

A standard custom software MVP is typically engineered and deployed within 4 to 8 weeks. We operate on two-week agile sprints with working software demos provided at the end of every sprint.

We architect data storage within South African cloud data centers (AWS Cape Town / Azure Johannesburg regions) when required. All personal data is encrypted at rest and in transit (AES-256 / TLS 1.3), featuring granular RBAC and auditable access logging.

Yes. We offer forensic codebase audits to identify technical debt, security vulnerabilities, and database bottlenecks, followed by a phased modernization roadmap to stabilize and scale your existing software.

Our engineers built the entire multi-sided Moonlit platform (coordinating thousands of sales agents, handling automated FNB eWallet and HelloPay bulk payouts, and real-time cookie/referral tracking) and Paperop (a mission-critical enterprise platform featuring an advanced OCR engine, web scanning, document digitization, physical document archiving, secure cloud storage, and certified document shredding workflows).

We provide monthly software support agreements (SLAs) starting from R3,500/month. This covers 99.9% uptime monitoring, automated dependency security patches, database backups, and dedicated developer hours for feature requests.

Yes. We regularly build bi-directional API integrations with Xero, Sage, PayFast, Ozow, Yoco, Peach Payments, and courier tracking APIs (The Courier Guy / Bob Go).
