Solution Snapshot

Built to scale: What that looks like in action

Across sectors, organisations are modernising systems, launching new digital products and unlocking new revenue opportunities with platforms engineered for scale. These snapshots show what happens when robust architecture and smart delivery come together.

Helping a legal tech client go to market with an LLM-based product, we replaced OpenAI with Bedrock to meet strict global data sovereignty requirements. Our modular solution supports multi-region compliance, improves model choice flexibility, and integrates summarisation, topic extraction, and legal insights all deployed securely with AWS-native services and GPU compute.

We’ve built native and progressive web apps for major African retailers and telecoms giants, combining React Native, cloud infrastructure and UX-led design to deliver seamless digital shopping and self-service journeys. Our platform accelerators and content management frameworks empower clients to update experiences in real time—without heavy engineering dependencies.

From visualising school-level performance across 20 000+ South African schools to building mobile learning platforms with built-in social features and career pathing, our teams have designed scalable solutions that make education more accessible. Our work spans data validation tools, content management, learner tracking, and mobile-first experiences—all powered by secure, cloud-native architectures and built using platform engineering best practices.

We’ve delivered a data platform and track-and-trace solution for a global logistics provider, leveraging AWS, IaC, and medallion architecture to build complex data pipelines that support last-mile visibility. The solution enhances customer experience, streamlines internal operations, and empowers data teams with self-service tools—all while meeting strict access control and governance standards.

For a leading international wildlife charity, we assessed and implemented a secure, multi-region AWS cloud environment. Leveraging our managed services team and cost optimisation frameworks, we ensured 24/7 uptime, performance monitoring and aggressive SLAs—helping the client focus on their mission while we manage the tech.
