Why custom software?
Stop adapting your business to software.
Your processes are unique. Your software should follow the way your business works — not force your team into someone else’s workflow.
Built around your business.
Too many tools?
Let’s build one system around your business.
One system.
Built around your business.

per user?
Stop paying for seats.
Build your own system.
Your business grows. Your software bill should not grow every time you add another employee.

It’s your business app.

Client feedback
Built for businesses like yours.
Different industries. Different processes.
Software built around each one.
“We moved from spreadsheets and manual reporting to one system our team actually uses every day. The biggest difference is visibility — we finally know what is happening without chasing updates.”
“The app was built around the way we already work instead of forcing us into a generic system. We could start small and keep adding functionality as we needed it.”
“We needed better control over compliance, documentation and reporting. Drivatic gave us one place to manage it and the system keeps evolving with our requirements.”
“What made the biggest difference was that Drivatic didn't just hand over software and disappear. They still maintain it, support us and improve it.”
Who we are
Built by people who understand business,
not just software.
Juan Kotzee
Founder & Managing Director — Drivatic
Juan founded Drivatic with a simple idea: business software should solve the way a company actually works, not force the company to change around the software.
Today, Drivatic builds and manages custom business applications across operations, analytics, automation and AI — helping businesses replace spreadsheets, manual processes and disconnected systems with software designed around them.

Questions
Is the app custom-built for us?
Yes. We start from proven foundations like CRM, timesheets and projects, then shape everything around how your business actually works.
Can you start with something small?
Yes. Most clients start with one process that hurts the most, then grow the system from there.
How long does it take?
For clearly defined projects, the first working MVP can be ready within 6 weeks.
What does the R7,500/month include?
Your custom business app plus hosting, cloud compute, a managed SQL database, backups, maintenance, bug fixes, support and 3 hours of changes and improvements per month.
What is the difference between R7,500 and R15,000?
R7,500/month builds and runs your business system. R15,000/month builds and runs your system and adds AI and intelligence to your data — natural-language questions, summaries, document analysis, automated insights and workflow automation — with priority support and 8–10 hours of monthly development.
Do we pay per user?
No. There is no per-user licensing. Add your whole team without your bill going up.
Can the app integrate with our current systems?
Usually, yes. We connect to accounting, email and other tools where they offer a way to integrate.
Can you add dashboards and reporting?
Yes. Live business dashboards and analytics are a core part of what we build — management reporting your team actually uses.
Can we add AI later?
Yes. You can start on Business App and move to Business App + AI once your data lives in one system.
What happens if our requirements grow?
Your app grows with you. Larger changes are scoped together and the monthly fee is adjusted where needed.
Do we need our own server?
No. We host and run everything for you.
Who manages hosting and the database?
We do. Hosting, database, backups and security updates are all handled by our team.
