How we build software that has to work

Pace Online ships software for places where it has to work — offline, low data, gloves on. We chose our stack to survive that first, and to scale globally second.

Talk to engineering

Software built for the African field — offline-first, low data, glove-friendly, and live at real ports and parks.

Core technologies

Generative AI runs in our products and our workflow — Vertex AI, Gemini, OpenAI and Claude, each chosen for the job it does best.

Releases in a year

Clients across national government, parastatals, municipalities and the private sector — many under signed reference letter.

We build to operational feedback, not feature-list theatre — and we stay for the support contract.

The full stack

AI is a productivity multiplier we take seriously — not a curiosity. Our engineers pair with Claude, Gemini and OpenAI every day.

/ ai-first /

We use AI for code generation, code review, test scaffolding, documentation and design exploration — then put it to work in the products themselves. Vertex AI and Gemini parse manifests and bills of lading in the Stevedoring App, cutting manual data entry by up to 80%. OpenAI, Claude, Gemini and Vertex AI back Uniflo's WhatsApp chatbot and its fraud detection. SunSeek tailors itineraries and runs a conversational booking layer. Govermate scans 400+ newspapers and 1,000+ websites and matches every opportunity to a user's profile. Multiple model providers, by design — we don't lock ourselves, or our customers, into one vendor.

how we deliver

AI product-centred, agile, and built on continuous enhancement

01 [ step ]

Investigate

We start where the work happens — watching, measuring and mapping the real process before any code.

02 [ step ]

Design & prototype

Architecture, UX and a working prototype your team can react to in weeks, not quarters.

03 [ step ]

Build in sprints

Two-week sprints, continuous deployment and AI-assisted engineering. We ship against operational feedback.

04 [ step ]

Continuous enhancement

We install, train your team and keep improving — the Stevedoring App shipped 940+ releases in a single year.

faq

Technology questions, answered

Yes. Our mobile apps are offline-first — built on Flutter, Firebase and Isar for on-device storage. They keep working with no signal and sync the moment a connection returns. We build for low data, bad light and gloves-on use.

Multiple, by design. Vertex AI and Gemini for document parsing and predictive analytics; OpenAI and Claude for conversational interfaces and code generation. We don't lock you into one model vendor — today's best model is rarely tomorrow's.

Yes. We build mSCOA, GRAP and IFRS-ready integrations for government finance, with POPIA and GDPR awareness, role-based access, TLS 1.2+ and AES-256 at rest. The stack passes municipal procurement.

Flutter and Dart for mobile; React and Next.js for web; Node.js, TypeScript and Laravel on the back end; MongoDB, Firestore and MySQL for data; Google Cloud Platform, Firebase and Railway for hosting; Algolia for search. Everything is licensable and re-deployable for an OEM partner.
