about

An African Software OEM — we build our own software, and yours

20 +
Major clients since 2012

Pace Online is an African Software OEM. We design, build and operate our own software products — the Stevedoring App, SunSeek, Uniflo and Govermate — and the same teams build custom software for the clients, partners and investors who commission us.

Founded in 2012 and headquartered in Midrand, we have shipped software for South African government, parastatals and private companies for more than a decade. Offline-first, AI-first where it earns its place, and built for the realities of the African field.

AI-first

We use AI where it earns its place — reading documents, flagging anomalies, answering in plain language. Real productivity, not buzzwords.

Field investigation

We watch the work before we write the code. Every build starts at the quayside, the yard or the depot — not the boardroom.

Agile development

Small, accountable teams shipping in short cycles. We build, measure and adjust, so you see working software fast.

Continuous enhancement

Software is never finished. The Stevedoring App alone shipped hundreds of releases in a single year — and keeps improving.

how it works

How a Pace build goes from first site visit to live, working software

01

Investigate

We spend time where the work happens — watching, measuring and mapping the real process before a line of code.

02

Build

Short, agile cycles, with AI-first where it helps. You see working software in weeks, not quarters.

03

Enhance

We install, train your team, and keep improving — software that gets better every release.
