Infrastructure and data

Every system we build — CRM, support tooling, or automation — runs on the same foundation: encrypted at rest and in transit, hosted in South Africa, with a full audit trail. This isn't a separate product. It's how we build everything.

End-to-end encryption
On-premise capable
POPIA-aligned, with a full audit trail
Our layered data architecture: encrypted transport, identity, application permissions, and an encrypted store, with keys held separately and an append-only audit trail.

Building a CRM around the business, not the other way around.

The problem

PropertySouthAfrica's operations had outgrown the tools running them. Business data lived across disconnected systems, and retrieving it was slow enough to hold up day-to-day decisions. Off-the-shelf CRMs solved for a generic property business, not theirs.

What we built

A CRM engineered around their actual workflow — lead capture, listing management, agent pipelines, reporting. Built from their operational blueprint rather than configured from a template, so the system matches how the team already works instead of forcing a change in how they work.

The outcome

Data retrieval that once took minutes now returns in seconds, and reporting that was assembled by hand each week is now generated on demand.

“We were losing time just trying to find our own information. Ruben built us something that fits how we actually work, and now the data is there when we need it.”

Owner / Lead software developer

Writes every line of production code that ships — the project doesn't get handed to a junior developer or an outsourced team partway through. If something breaks or needs changing later, you're talking to the person who actually built it, not a support queue reading from a script. That's the whole reason Stridman is built this way.

Two more people. No account managers, no handoffs, no junior developer quietly assigned to your project.
