Small business technology · South Africa
We build websites, apps and internal systems for smaller South African businesses — and fix the ones quietly costing you hours every week. Straight answers, fixed quotes, no jargon.
Why people call us
Most of the businesses we work with aren't looking for 'digital transformation'. They're looking for one specific thing to stop being annoying.
It was built years ago, it looks wrong on a phone, and you'd rather send people your Instagram than your domain.
It works, sort of, until someone's on leave and nobody can find the file with the right numbers in it.
Once on paper, once into a spreadsheet, once into the accounting system. Every mistake gets copied along with it.
Now nobody can change it, nobody knows the password, and you're a bit scared to touch it.
The quotes, the invoices, the reminders, the monthly report. Everyone agrees. Nobody has a spare week to do it.
Not a call centre in another timezone. A person who already knows how your setup works.
If you recognised more than one of those, the fix is usually smaller and cheaper than you're expecting. That's worth a half-hour conversation.
Our services
Six things, really. Most jobs are one of them; plenty are two or three stitched together.
A site that loads fast, reads well on a phone, and turns visitors into enquiries — not just a brochure that sits there.
When a website isn't enough and off-the-shelf software doesn't fit how you actually work.
You rarely need to throw everything away. Usually you need the worst part replaced and the rest left alone.
Getting your existing tools to talk to each other, so nobody has to be the human copy-paste layer.
One place to see how the business is doing, instead of five files and a phone call.
The unglamorous part. Someone whose job it is to make sure the thing stays up.
The process
No 12-week discovery phase, no invoice surprises. Four steps, and you know where you stand at each one.
Half an hour, in person or on a call. You explain the annoying thing. We ask questions and tell you honestly whether we're the right people — sometimes the answer is 'you don't need us, just change this setting'.
You get a short document in plain English: what we'll build, what it costs, how long it takes, and what we'd deliberately leave out of version one. No hourly-rate roulette.
We work in short cycles and show you something real every week. You give feedback while it's still cheap to change, instead of at the end when it isn't.
We put it live, sit with your team until they're comfortable using it, and hand over every account and password. Then we stay on for support if you want us to.
Example projects
Moli Consulting is a young company and we'd rather show you our thinking than borrow someone else's logo. These are worked examples of typical jobs — what we'd look at, what we'd build, and what changes afterwards.
Trades and services
The problem
Jobs are taken over the phone into a diary, given to plumbers as scribbled addresses, and invoiced days later from memory. Work gets missed and invoices go out late.
What we'd build
A simple job system: office books the job, the plumber sees today's list on their phone, ticks it off with photos and notes on site, and the invoice is drafted the moment the job is marked done.
What changes
Nothing falls through the diary, invoices go out same-day, and the owner can see where every job stands without phoning anyone.
Retail
The problem
Sales happen in direct messages, stock lives in the owner's head, and busy weekends mean selling the same item twice.
What we'd build
A small online store carrying the real stock count, payment on checkout, and a stock number that goes down by itself. The Instagram audience keeps buying the way they like — the admin just stops being manual.
What changes
No more double-selling, evenings back, and a shop that keeps trading while everyone's asleep.
Manufacturing and mining
The problem
Supervisors capture daily output on paper or in Excel. Someone spends the first days of every month consolidating it by hand, and by the time management sees a number it's three weeks old.
What we'd build
A capture app supervisors use on their phones — including in places with no signal, where it queues entries and syncs when they're back in range. Everything lands in one database with a live summary and a one-click export.
What changes
The monthly compile disappears. Management sees yesterday's numbers today, and the export other departments need is a button instead of a favour.
We pick what fits the job and your budget, not what's fashionable. If you're already on something that works, we'll happily build around it.

About us
Moli Consulting is two people, on purpose. You deal directly with whoever is building your thing — there's no account manager relaying messages, and nothing gets quietly handed to a junior.
Frontend, mobile & product
Builds the parts people touch — websites, phone apps and interfaces that make sense to someone who's never been trained on them. Fond of software that keeps working when the signal doesn't.
Backend, data & infrastructure
Handles the machinery behind the scenes — databases, integrations, servers and the reporting that turns a pile of records into something a manager can read.
FAQ
It depends entirely on what you need, so we don't publish price lists that would be wrong for you. A small marketing site is a very different job to a system your whole team works in. What we can promise is that you'll get one fixed number in writing before any work starts, and it won't move unless you ask for something new.
Weeks, not months. A straightforward website is usually a couple of weeks; something more involved, like a custom app or an internal system, takes a bit longer depending on how complex it is — but we still work in weeks. You'll get a timeframe in writing with your quote, and you'll see working progress along the way rather than waiting until the end to find out where things stand.
It's the normal situation, and honestly it's easier than working with someone who's half-convinced they already know the answer. You're the expert on your business. Our job is to ask the right questions and translate.
You do. Everything gets set up in your name, and you get every login at handover. We think holding a client's domain hostage is a rotten business model.
Usually, yes — and often that's the cheaper answer. We're happy to take over someone else's codebase, plug into software you already pay for, or work alongside an existing IT provider.
That's a fine reason to call. Sometimes a business needs a second opinion on a quote, help choosing between two products, or someone to tell them their current setup is actually fine. We do that too.
We'll have handed over everything, so you're free to walk away. Most clients keep us on a small monthly arrangement for hosting, backups, monitoring and the odd change. Entirely optional, cancel whenever.
Get in touch
A rough description is plenty — you don't need to know what you want built. We'll come back with questions and an honest answer about whether we can help.
We reply to every enquiry within one working day. We're based in South Africa and work with clients anywhere in the country.
