What we do

Software that fits the way your business really works.

Off-the-shelf tools get you 70% of the way. We build the other 30% — the part that's unique to you, and usually where the hours disappear.

01

Business Automation

Find the repetitive, manual work your team does every day — and make the computer do it instead.

  • Workflow & approval automation
  • Auto-generated quotes, orders, invoices & reports
  • Excel imports and exports, done for you
  • Scheduled tasks, alerts & notifications
02

Custom App Development

Web, mobile and desktop applications designed around your process — not the other way around.

  • Web apps, portals & dashboards
  • Mobile apps for teams in the field
  • Multi-branch, multi-user & role-based
  • From prototype to production and beyond
03

System Integration

Your accounting, stock, CRM and spreadsheets all hold a piece of the truth. We make them share it.

  • Connect legacy & cloud systems via APIs
  • One source of truth — no more double capture
  • Machine & file-based integrations (CNC, CSV)
  • Data migration & clean-up
Integration

Islands of data cost you more than you think.

When systems don't talk, people do the talking — re-typing orders, chasing spreadsheets and fixing mistakes. Flip the switch to see the difference.

Isolated systems

The same customer typed into three places. Stock that doesn't match the books. A production floor working off last week's printout. Every hand-off is a chance for an error — and an hour lost.

One connected business

Capture once, use everywhere. Orders flow straight into production, stock updates itself, and management sees the real picture — live. Your team gets their time back for work that matters.

Custom work

From spreadsheets to one production system.

A multi-branch cabinet manufacturer was running its business across order-form spreadsheets, emails and separate cutting software. We built them a single platform that carries every job from order to installation.

Our approach

Practical, iterative, and in it for the long run.

No 200-page specs and no disappearing act after launch. We ship working software early, refine it with your team, and keep it running.

01

Discover

We sit with the people doing the work and map where the time and errors really go.

02

Design

A clear scope and a clickable prototype — so you see it before you pay to build it.

03

Build

Short cycles with a test environment you can use from week one. Feedback shapes every release.

04

Connect

We integrate with the systems you already have and migrate your data safely.

05

Support

Hosting, monitoring, fixes and new features. We stay your technology partner.

Why Zelar

Small team. Serious software.

Proven in production

We build, host and run our own SaaS products every day. You get that same discipline.

Built for South Africa

Rands, VAT, EFT, load-shedding-tolerant workflows and local support in your timezone.

You own your data

Secure, self-hosted infrastructure — no lock-in to someone else's platform or pricing.

Direct line to the builders

You talk to the people writing your code. Fast answers, fast changes, no account-manager maze.

Let's talk

What's slowing your business down?

Tell us about the spreadsheet everyone's afraid to touch, the system that won't talk to the other one, or the app you wish existed. We'll come back with a straight answer on how we'd fix it.
