Custom Software Development
for Pretoria and South Africa.

When off-the-shelf software doesn't fit your workflow, AutoM8 builds a system around how your business actually operates. Inventory, booking, HR, dashboards, fraud prevention — designed and built to your specification. Projects may be phased for affordability, starting from R10,000.

Custom systems from R10,000.

Custom systems are quoted according to their modules, user roles, database requirements, integrations and deployment needs. The starting price reflects a focused, well-scoped system — not a simple automation or a large enterprise platform.

Pricing depends on: number of modules, user roles and access levels, database complexity, third-party integrations, reporting requirements, and whether a phased approach is used.

Projects may be divided into phases — starting with the most critical features and expanding over time. This makes development more affordable and allows your team to start using the system earlier.

Common questions about custom software.

How much does custom software cost?

Custom systems start from R10,000. Final pricing depends on scope, modules, integrations and complexity. A detailed quote is always provided after a free discovery conversation.

Can a project be built in phases?

Yes. Projects can be divided into phases, starting with the most critical features and expanding over time. This makes development more affordable and lets your team start using the system earlier.

Do I own the source code?

Yes. You receive full ownership of all custom code — the complete source code and documentation is yours once the project is paid in full.

How long does it take to build?

Project timelines depend on scope and complexity. All timelines are agreed in writing as part of the proposal before development begins.
