Straight answers, no caveats.

Between two and eight weeks, depending on scope. A focused single-process build lands in about two; a multi-system rebuild runs to eight. You'll know the timeline and the price before we start.

No. We build inside your operations and train your team as part of every engagement. Real training, and documentation written in English, not engineering.

You own everything: code, infrastructure, data. Support is included for the weeks after go-live, and beyond that you'll never need a retainer to keep the system alive. Plenty of clients keep walking with us anyway. That's a relationship, not a requirement.

Yes. South Africa, the United States, the United Kingdom and Europe so far. Installs run remotely, in your timezone for live sessions, at the same published pricing.

Engagements run between R150K and R800K (≈ $8K–$45K), scoped individually and fixed before we begin. Book a 15-minute conversation and you'll have a one-page proposal with a firm number within 48 hours.

Because it puts us on your side of the table. If something takes longer than we planned, that's ours to carry and your price doesn't move. The only thing we ever charge for is scope you add.

Then we're not done. We stay until it works, at no extra charge. That sentence is the whole business model.

Consultants advise; we build. Both have their place, but every Transformate engagement ends with a working system in your operations, not a recommendation about one.

Quite possibly, and if you can, you should. Zapier, Make and n8n are excellent for simple triggers and clean data, and they'll cost you far less. We're for what they can't hold: exceptions, judgment calls, messy inputs, systems without clean connections. If a simple tool solves it, we'll tell you so and wish you well.

The sweet spot is operations-heavy teams of roughly 30–500 people: enough process to hurt, enough people to feel the relief. Outside that band, the conversation is still free and the answer will still be honest.

We call it intelligent systems: AI where judgment earns its keep (reading messy documents, handling exceptions, deciding what needs a human) and plain, boring code where rules do the job. We use whichever is honest for the problem.

Yes. We're based in Witbank and build for South African operators as well as international clients. Every install is delivered fully remote, so location doesn't change the price or the timeline. The work is the same whether you're down the road or in another time zone. And before you ask: no, load-shedding doesn't take the fleet down. It lives in the cloud, not in our garage.
