Software development for Pretoria businesses
TechTonic Labs is based in Centurion, a short drive from most of Pretoria. We work with businesses in areas such as Menlyn, Hatfield and the eastern suburbs, as well as the city centre. We build software for clients through TechTonic Labs and place our engineers in client teams through TechTonic Labs Consulting.
Build something new with us
We design, build and support apps, websites and bespoke software, and we run the hosting and DevOps for what we build. Each engagement begins with a Discovery Week, which ends with an agreed scope, a clickable prototype and an estimate.

Our engineers join your team and work within your process across the full software lifecycle. Alongside the work they deliver, they help improve the practices your team relies on.
See how Consulting worksHow we work with Pretoria clients
Our location in Centurion places most of Pretoria within easy reach, so a workshop at your offices is straightforward to arrange. We generally recommend meeting in person at the beginning of a project, when we need to understand your business, your current processes and the people who will use the software.
Once the direction is agreed, most of the work continues remotely, supported by regular progress meetings and direct access to the engineers on the project. We return in person whenever a planning session or review would benefit from it. Because we share a time zone and a working calendar with our Pretoria clients, communication remains prompt throughout.
Building new software with TechTonic Labs
TechTonic Labs builds mobile apps, websites and bespoke business software. Typical examples include a booking or administration system that has outgrown its spreadsheet, a customer portal, or an internal tool that reduces manual work for your staff. We manage the project from the initial idea through design, development and launch, and we continue to support the software afterwards, including its hosting and DevOps.
The first step is normally a Discovery Week. During this short, fixed engagement we establish the requirements, produce a clickable prototype that can be tested with real users, and prepare an estimate for the build. It gives you the information needed to make a sound decision before committing to a larger project.
Adding experience to your team with TechTonic Labs Consulting
Many Pretoria businesses run small in-house development teams that carry a heavy workload. TechTonic Labs Consulting places our engineers within those teams. They attend your planning meetings, work in your codebase and follow your established process, covering the work from planning through to release.
Our aim is to provide expertise rather than additional headcount. While delivering their share of the work, our engineers also help improve the processes and culture of the team, so that the benefit continues after the engagement ends. We grade our engineers by skill rather than years of experience, and the same standards apply whether they are working in your team or building software within TechTonic Labs.
