Home › Custom Business Software Development
Custom software built around the way your business works
Quotes, orders, jobs, stock and reports in one system designed for your process, instead of spreadsheets, WhatsApp groups and paper.
What Rocket provides
Rocket Advertising designs and builds custom business software for South African companies: quoting and estimating systems, job and production management, inventory, customer portals and management dashboards.
We build web-based systems your team can use on any device, with role-based logins, audit trails and backups, and we can connect them to your website, accounting package and email.
Who it's for
Growing businesses that have outgrown spreadsheets, or whose off-the-shelf software forces them to work around it.
Problems it solves
- Information is spread across spreadsheets, email and chat groups.
- Nobody can see the status of a job without asking someone.
- Quotes and invoices are retyped from one system to another.
- Reports take days to compile at month-end.
What's included
- Discovery workshop and written specification.
- UX design of screens and workflows.
- Web application with role-based logins.
- Integrations with your website, accounting and email.
- Data import from your current spreadsheets or system.
- Training, documentation and support after launch.
Options
- Quoting and estimating systems.
- Job, production and workshop management.
- Inventory and stock control.
- Customer and staff portals.
- Management dashboards and reports.
What you'll need to supply
- A person who can make decisions about how the business should work.
- Examples of current forms, spreadsheets and reports.
- Access to systems we must connect to.
How the process works
- A short call to understand how you work today and what must change.
- A written scope with what is included, what is not, timelines and price.
- Design and build in stages, with demos you can test as we go.
- Testing with your real data and your team, then training.
- Launch, a review after the first weeks, and ongoing support if you want it.
Data privacy and security
Business systems hold customer names, contact details, quotes and payments. We build with role-based logins, limited access, secure hosting, backups and audit logs, and we help you apply POPIA in practice. This is practical guidance, not legal advice.
Pricing
This is quoted after a short call, because every business works differently. Ready-made solutions are usually a once-off setup fee plus a monthly subscription; custom builds are a fixed-scope project quote. All prices exclude VAT.
