The Portfolio

Ventures growing on the root.

One root. A widening set of businesses — each one a system built to earn on its own. They aren't side projects; they're the proving ground for the tech we build.

Active

Work Lekker

live

Web, automation, and AI — for businesses that want to move faster.

The problem

Most websites are brochures — pretty, static, and disconnected from the business. They don't answer, qualify, book, or follow up.

The solution

Work Lekker builds websites with automation and AI in the foundation. From day one, the site is working: answering questions, qualifying leads, booking meetings, moving data between tools.

What it does

  • —Website design & build (mobile-first, fast, modern)
  • —Automation — bookings, follow-ups, invoicing, data sync
  • —AI agents — lead qualification, support, decision support
  • —WhatsApp bots on the channel people actually open
  • —BI dashboards — traffic, conversions, operations in one place

Sellza

live

Online shops for South African small businesses.

The problem

Small businesses sell through WhatsApp chats and social posts — orders get lost, prices get re-typed every day, and there's nowhere a customer can simply browse and buy.

The solution

A Sellza shop is a real storefront for a small business: every product with its price, orders and bookings through WhatsApp, payments handled, all in the seller's own brand. Live at sellza.store.

What it does

  • —A storefront with your products, prices and brand
  • —Orders and bookings via WhatsApp
  • —Card payments built in (PayFast)
  • —Plans from R299/month — Starter and Growth
  • —Set up and edit your shop from your phone

Port Watch

live

Port intelligence for South African logistics teams.

The problem

Logistics teams lose time and money heading to the port when containers aren't ready or terminals are congested — and they only find out on arrival.

The solution

Live port schedules, stack alerts and driver dispatch that warn teams before they roll, not after. Live today.

What it does

  • —Live status for South Africa's major ports
  • —Stack alerts before a wasted trip
  • —Driver dispatch for transporters and freight forwarders

FrameTheDay

live

One place for every photo from your event.

The problem

Every event produces hundreds of photos — scattered across guests' phones, and gone by the next week.

The solution

FrameTheDay gives an event one gallery. Guests contribute from their phones; the host downloads the full album.

What it does

  • —Guests share from their own phones — no app
  • —The host gets the full album in one download
  • —A one-time event pass, not a subscription
