From mobile apps and web platforms to business systems, integrations and automation, Distech helps businesses replace manual processes and turn ideas into working software.
Start with the problem. We'll work out what needs to be built, and what doesn't.
Replace spreadsheets, WhatsApp-based workflows and repetitive admin with custom business software.

Don't Replace Everything. Improve What You Already Have.
Many businesses don't need an entire system built from scratch. We can extend, connect or modernise the software you already rely on.
Discuss Your SystemIf your team is copying information between spreadsheets, emails, WhatsApp and different systems, there may be an opportunity to automate the workflow.
Show Us Your ProcessCommon places to start
A selection of the platforms we can show publicly, from booking and ordering to business management and e-commerce.
An online booking platform that connects customers with braiders across South Africa. Customers find a braider nearby and choose to visit them or have them come to their home.
A business management platform for South African service businesses: quotes and invoices sent through WhatsApp, payment tracking, customer and lead management, expense tracking and an optional booking calendar.
A website for an Indian restaurant with a browsable menu, current offers and online ordering, covering more than one restaurant location.
An online shop and website for a supplier of ice cream, candle-making and packaging machinery, selling to businesses across Africa, with a blog and newsletter sign-up.
We use modern AI-assisted development tools where appropriate to accelerate development, testing and problem solving, while keeping architecture, security, quality and final engineering decisions under human control.
AI helps us build better and faster. Engineers still design, review and take responsibility for what ships.
AI in Business SoftwareWhere AI can be useful in your software
Owner-run businesses that have outgrown spreadsheets and off-the-shelf tools.
Teams whose processes no longer scale with the number of customers or staff.
Bookings, quotes, jobs, invoicing and client communication in one place.
Online ordering, merchant and driver workflows, and back-office management.
Work that lives in Excel, email and WhatsApp and needs to become a proper system.
Mobile apps that connect people to your business systems.
Software that works but needs integrations, new features or a mobile app.
A clear path from first conversation to launch and beyond.
We learn what you are trying to achieve, what is currently difficult and what the software needs to do.
We identify the required features, integrations and technical approach.
We provide scope, an estimated cost and the expected delivery approach.
We develop the solution and keep you informed during the process.
We deploy the software and help with the required release and setup process.
We remain available for maintenance, fixes and future improvements.
We're a smaller, independent business. That means you deal directly with the people doing the work.
We start by understanding the business problem before deciding what to build.
We build around your workflow instead of forcing your business into an off-the-shelf process.
Discovery, design, development, testing, deployment and support.
We solve the actual requirement instead of adding unnecessary complexity.
We can build a new system, improve an existing application or integrate different platforms.
We can keep supporting and improving your software after launch.
You talk to the people involved in your project, not through layers of account managers.
Experienced developers are involved in your project from the first conversation.
Fewer meetings and approvals, and faster decisions and replies.
Apps need updates, servers need looking after and APIs change. We can keep supporting your software as an ongoing arrangement or when you need us. Whichever suits your business.
Discuss Ongoing SupportWe choose the tools that suit your project, not the other way around.
It depends on what the software needs to do. Smaller custom projects can start from around R20,000, while larger systems, multi-user platforms and mobile apps with backends are scoped after a discussion. We give you a written estimate before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
A small, focused tool can take a few weeks. Larger systems and mobile apps usually take a few months. Once we understand your requirements we give you a realistic timeline in the proposal.
Yes. We can add features, fix bugs, improve performance, build a mobile app around it or connect it to other systems. The first step is a look at what you currently have.
Yes. We integrate payment providers that offer an API. The right provider depends on your business, and we confirm what is suitable while scoping the project.
Yes. We build for both platforms, including with Flutter where one codebase makes sense, and we can help with App Store and Play Store deployment.
Yes. Most apps and portals need a backend, and we build the APIs, databases and admin tools that sit behind them.
Yes. We can provide bug fixes, updates, server or cloud support, monitoring and new features after launch. Support can be an ongoing arrangement or on request, whichever suits you.
Yes. We are based in Sandton, Johannesburg, and work with businesses across South Africa remotely, with in-person meetings where they help.
Yes. Many projects start this way. We talk through the problem, the people who will use the software and how you work today, then propose a practical scope.
Yes. We work with small and medium businesses as well as larger organisations. If your budget is under R20,000, tell us what you need and we will be upfront about what is realistic.
Yes. Depending on the system, that can mean improving parts of it, moving it to the cloud, or rebuilding specific modules. We will recommend the lowest-risk option rather than automatically suggesting a full rewrite.
Tell us what you need. Most projects are scoped after an initial conversation, and smaller custom projects can start from around R20,000.
