Business Systems
End-to-end product builds with Vue 3, Spring Boot, secure auth, dashboards, and production infrastructure.
What It Is
A Business System is a full-stack application built for real operational work. Spring Boot backend with proper architecture, Vue 3 frontend, secure authentication, database design, CI/CD readiness, and deployment infrastructure. This is not an MVP or a prototype — it's software built to ship and scale.
These systems handle multi-user workflows, role-based permissions, API integrations, and the kind of business logic that doesn't fit in a PocketBase CRUD app. Think client portals, booking systems, operational dashboards, and internal business tools that your team will use every day.
Who It's For
Operations teams that need a custom tool to manage workflows, clients, or data. Service businesses building client portals, booking systems, or scheduling tools. SMEs replacing spreadsheets and manual processes with proper software. Teams that have outgrown PocketBase and need real business logic, integrations, and structured architecture.

Week 5–8 — Frontend & Integration
Vue 3 frontend build. Connect to backend APIs. Implement dashboards, CRUD workflows, and user-facing features. Automated testing.
Week 9–12 — Testing & Launch
Load testing, security review, UAT. CI/CD pipeline finalisation. Deployment, monitoring, and go-live support.
How Pricing Works
Starting from R150,000 for a well-scoped business system. Most projects land between R150,000–R250,000 depending on the number of modules, integrations, and frontend complexity.
Factors that push the price higher: multiple user roles, third-party API integrations (CRM, payment, email), advanced reporting, compliance requirements, and mobile-responsive dashboards.
