We don't just build software.
We don't just build software.
We build what
grows your business.
A website that wins work. A store that sells. A system that takes hours off your team. Our team is not only engineers — brand and marketing consultants shape every project, so what we ship is built to convert, not just to function. Held to a global standard. Fixed price, named delivery date.

What we build
One team. Every platform
One team. Every platform
your business runs on.
Web, mobile, desktop, cloud and AI — built from the ground up on a modern stack, and wired into the systems you already use.
01
Websites that win work
Built around one job: turning a visitor into an enquiry. We plan the journey, write the copy and design the page to persuade — not a brochure with a contact form.
- Four to twenty pages, fully custom
- Copy, SEO & POPIA included
- Free first-year hosting
Stores that sell, and run themselves
Merchandising and checkout designed to lift conversion, with every gateway and courier wired in so waybills, tracking and WhatsApp updates happen without you touching a thing.
- Gateways & couriers integrated
- Dropshipping & marketplace ready
- Accounting sync
Apps people actually keep
iOS and Android from one codebase, designed around real user behaviour and priced by what the app truly does — never by selling you a stripped-back version first.
- We don't build MVPs
- Admin dashboard included
- App Store & Play Store handled
Systems that give you hours back
Quoting, jobs, stock, staff and reporting in one place — the system that replaces the spreadsheets and the four apps that don't talk to each other.
- Built around how you work
- Roles, permissions, audit trail
- Any system with an API, integrated
AI where it earns its place
Support that answers at 2am. Quotes generated from a photo. Invoices read automatically. Built into the workflow, not bolted on as a gimmick.
- Support & sales agents
- Document & invoice extraction
- Voice, search, recommendations
Custom AI models
Your own model, trained on your own data, running on your own infrastructure. For businesses where the data can never leave the building.
- Trained on your documents & history
- Runs on-premise or private cloud
- Full audit trail & governance

More than developers
Great code alone
Great code alone
has never grown a business.
Most studios hand you a working website. Working is the floor, not the goal. Our team includes brand and marketing consultants alongside the engineers — so strategy, positioning and conversion are designed in from day one.
01
Strategists
Work out what the platform actually has to achieve — leads, orders, hours saved — before anyone designs a screen.
02
Brand consultants
Make sure you look like the company you want to be taken for, consistently, everywhere a customer meets you.
03
Marketing consultants
Shape the journey, the offer and the copy so the traffic you pay for turns into customers, not bounces.
04
Engineers
Build it properly — fast, secure, integrated and maintainable — to the standard a global product company would set.
We measure ourselves globally, not locally
We don't benchmark against the agency down the road. We benchmark against the best product teams in the world — on technology, on craft, and above all on the value the finished thing returns to you. That standard is the point of the company.
Value first, relationship after
We would rather build something that genuinely moves your numbers and keep you for a decade than win a once-off invoice. Consulting is part of every build, not a separate line item — because a platform that doesn't perform is a cost, however well it is coded.
Who we build for
From a one-person business
From a one-person business
to a national operation.
A personal profile site and a multi-branch logistics platform get the same engineering standard. Only the scope changes.

Why Skynat Labs
Agency quality.
Agency quality.
Without the agency theatre.
No three-week discovery phase. No account manager forwarding your emails. No invoice that grew while you weren't looking.
One 15-minute call
Not six meetings before anyone writes code
We do not bill you to talk about the work. One short call establishes what you need, and a fixed quote follows within a day. Everything after that is building.

What's included, priced elsewhere
Custom design, copywriting, SEO, POPIA, speed engineering, integrations, a month of support and your first year of hosting all ship inside the build. Other studios line-item every one of them.

A global standard, not a local one
We benchmark our work against the best product teams in the world — on technology, on craft, and above all on the value it returns you. Not against the agency down the road.

Landing pages
Live in two days from sign-off. No rush fee — that is simply our speed.

Revisions
We don't cap revisions. We cap scope, then work until you sign off.
We are judged on what it returns you, not on what it cost
We are not a requirements-gathering business. We ask the questions that genuinely change the outcome, make a strong recommendation, and then execute it properly — so you spend your time running your company while we build something that pays you back.
The honest comparison

Who we are
A South African company
A South African company
built to a global standard.
Skynat Labs was built by assembling people, not by filling desks. Our team works from Johannesburg and Cape Town, selected against the same bar a global product company would set.
SOUTH AFRICA
Johannesburg · Sandton
Head office, client delivery and project leadership.
SOUTH AFRICA
Cape Town
Design, front-end engineering and brand work.
Why that matters to you
A small, senior team with no layers between you and the people building means decisions happen in hours, not weeks. It is why a five-day website is a real schedule rather than a marketing line.
Global standard, local price
The value you get here is what other agencies charge premium rates for. We keep the price down by removing overhead — not by cutting corners on the engineering, and never by handing your project to a junior.
Why we exist
We wrote down what we stand for
We wrote down what we stand for
before we wrote a line of code.
Skynat started from a conviction: that businesses here deserve technology built to the same standard as anywhere in the world, and that software should be judged on what it returns you — not on how impressive it sounds. Everything on this site follows from that.

Straight answersThe questions everyone
The questions everyone
asks on the first call.
Do you only build, or do you advise as well?
Both, and the advice is included. Every project runs with a strategist, a brand consultant and a marketing consultant alongside the engineers. Before anything is designed we agree what the platform has to achieve — more enquiries, higher order values, fewer admin hours — and we design backwards from that. You are not paying extra for consulting; it is simply how we build.
What makes your work convert better than a normal website?
Because conversion is a design decision, not an afterthought. We plan the journey a visitor takes, write copy that answers the objection they actually have, put the proof where doubt appears, and remove the steps that lose people. Then we measure it. A site that looks good but does not sell is a cost, however well it is coded.
Why is this so much cheaper than the agencies?
Because a build takes us days, not months, and you are not paying for an office full of account managers between you and the people doing the work. The engineering is the same standard. The overhead isn't there.
Do I have to sit through weeks of consultations?
No. One free 15-minute call is usually all it takes. We ask the questions that actually change the build, make a strong recommendation, and then go and do it properly. We are builders, not a requirements-gathering business — your time is better spent running your company.
Can you really deliver that fast?
Yes — because we don't start the clock until the brief is signed and your content is in, and because scope is locked before we begin. From sign-off, the date is ours to hit and it is written into the contract with a penalty attached.
Do you build MVPs?
No. An MVP is usually a way to charge you twice — once for a cut-down version, and again for the real one. We price by what the app actually has to do and build that properly the first time. A straightforward business or property-listing app starts at R65 000; something with live tracking, dispatch and payments — an e-hailing or hyperlocal delivery platform — starts at R120 000.
Is the design actually custom, or a template?
Custom, every time, from a blank page. We don't buy themes and recolour them. You will see your own design, with your own content in it, before a single line of production code is written.
I'm a one-person business. Am I too small for you?
Not at all. A four-page profile site starts at R3 500 and gets the same engineering standard as a R500 000 platform — only the scope is different. Plenty of our clients start with a profile site and grow into a store or a system later.
What happens with hosting?
Your first year of managed hosting is included free with every website build — SSL, backups, monitoring and updates. After that, care plans start at R450 a month, and you are free to move the site anywhere you like, because the code and the accounts are yours.
Can the website talk to my business system?
Yes — every website and store we build can connect to your CRM or business management software. We recommend Skynat Flow, our own platform, which handles quoting, invoicing, stock, fleet and VAT with an AI assistant built in. If you already run something else, we integrate that instead.
How do payments work?
Fifty per cent on signature, which books your slot and starts the delivery clock, and the balance on handover — after you have seen the finished work running. Projects above R30 000 begin with a R4 500 paid discovery, credited in full against the build.

Every site and store we build can plug straight into your CRM or business management software — so an enquiry becomes a lead, a lead becomes a quote, and a quote becomes an invoice without anyone re-typing anything.

We don’t build MVPs.
We build the app.
An MVP is usually a way to charge you twice — once for a cut-down version, and again for the real one. We price by what your app actually has to do, and build that properly the first time. iOS and Android from one codebase, both store submissions handled by us.
Why people choose us for this
Built properly. Shipped fast.
Built properly. Shipped fast.
Almost nothing asked of you.
We already run our own applications in production — a broadcast studio on two operating systems, a multi-tenant business platform with live billing, a delivery platform. Your build starts from engineering we have already proven, which is why it is quicker and why the date holds.
01
Real engineering
Database separated from application, security baseline, clean deployment, structured for growth. Not a template on shared hosting that cannot be fixed later without a rewrite.
02
Speed from foundations
We are not starting from an empty folder. Core systems — accounts, payments, dispatch, tracking — are already built and proven, then customised to you.
03
One decision, not fifty
Scope, price and delivery date agreed up front in writing. No hourly surprises, no change-order theatre, no quote that grows while you are not looking.
04
Minimal effort from you
We write the copy, design the screens, build the admin, handle both app store submissions and set up the infrastructure. You approve. That is the whole of your job.

What this costs elsewhere
Half the South African price.
Half the South African price.
A fraction of the international one.
We are not the cheap option — we are the one without the overhead that gets billed to you. The engineering standard is the same. The difference is that we carry no agency layer, and we start from systems we have already built and run ourselves.
01
E-hailing platform
Published SA industry estimates: R600 000 – R1 200 000. Internationally, $80 000 to $450 000 — roughly R1.5m to R8.3m.
With us, from R350 000.
02
Learning platform
Published SA industry estimates: R300 000 – R500 000. Internationally, $25 000 upward for a simple system — roughly R460 000.
With us, from R175 000.
03
Business app
Published SA industry estimates: R150 000 – R250 000 for a listing or booking application of this kind.
With us, from R85 000.
Being materially cheaper is not the argument — it is the consequence. We already run our own software in production, so a client build starts from proven engineering rather than an empty folder. You are paying for what is left to do, not for work we have already done once.

- Real-time operations console with exception alerting
- Role-based access across head office, branch, warehouse and driver
- Dedicated delivery team, written SLA and a phased rollout plan
Builds at this level begin with a paid discovery, credited in full against the build. You receive a fixed written quote, a delivery plan and a named team before any development starts.
Tell us what you want built.
A free 15-minute call, then a written quote with a fixed price and a delivery date. Most people have both within one working day.

Artificial intelligence
AI where it
AI where it
earns its place.
Not a chatbot in the corner that annoys your customers. AI wired into the part of your business that costs you hours — quoting, support, admin, data capture — and measured on what it saves.
01
Support that answers at 2am
Trained on your products, policies and past tickets. Answers what it knows, hands over what it doesn't, and logs everything.
From R9 900 →02
Documents read automatically
Supplier invoices, delivery notes, applications and ID documents turned into structured data in your system. No capturing.
From R14 900 →03
Quotes from a photo
A customer sends a picture of a roof, a part or a room. Your system sizes it, prices it and sends the quote before you have read the message.
From R24 900 →04
Search that understands
Customers describe what they need in their own words and find the right product — instead of leaving because they spelled it differently.
From R9 900 →05
Voice & phone agents
Bookings taken, orders captured and calls triaged by an agent that never queues anyone and writes it all into your system.
From R29 900 →06
AI built into the build
Any of the above can ride along on a website, store, app or system we are already building for you — priced as a module, not a separate project.
Added on →AI modules exclude VAT and usage costs, which we forecast for you before you commit.
Custom AI models
Your own model.
Your own model.
Your own data. Your own building.
For organisations where the data can never leave your control — finance, healthcare, legal, government and defence-adjacent work. We train a model on your material and run it inside your infrastructure.
01
Trained on your material
Your documents, your case history, your terminology and your way of writing — so the answers sound like your organisation, not like the internet.
02
Runs where you say
On-premise, in your private cloud or in a sovereign South African region. Nothing is sent to a third-party API unless you choose it.
03
Governed & auditable
Full audit trail of every prompt and response, role-based access, retention rules and a human-review path for anything high-stakes.
04
Evaluated, not guessed
We build a test set from your real cases and measure accuracy before it goes anywhere near a customer or a decision.

Products we built,
and still run.
Anyone can show a portfolio of sites they handed over and forgot. These are products our team designed, built, shipped and supports in production — which means we live with every decision in them.
Desktop · Mac & WindowsSkynat Live
A broadcast studio in one application
Multi-camera switching, live audio processing with a full console, GPU encoding, 4K multistreaming to every platform at once, and its own licensing, accounts and dual-currency checkout. Ships on macOS and Windows, updates itself, and has been in production with live audiences since launch.
E-commerce · SolarWEnergy
A solar store that sizes the system for you
A full catalogue across panels, inverters and batteries, a solar sizing calculator that turns a monthly bill into a recommended system, quote capture, case studies with real generation figures, and WhatsApp as a first-class channel.
SaaS · Multi-tenantSkynat Flow
The business operating system
Quoting, invoicing, customer records, inventory with reorder alerts, fleet and proof of delivery, VAT and bank reconciliation — with an AI assistant that creates quotes and chases customers by voice or text. Multi-tenant, four subscription tiers, live billing.
Platform · ReferralsViraly
An ambassador platform that pays out
Referral attribution, tiered commission structures, ambassador dashboards, and automated payout runs. The unglamorous logic that has to be exactly right every single time, because it moves money.
Want to see one running?
We will walk you through any of these live on a call — the code, the admin, the parts that were hard. It is a faster way to judge a studio than a portfolio page.

About Skynat Labs
We built the team first.
We built the team first.
Then the company.
Skynat Labs is a South African software company. We did not hire to fill desks — we selected people against the bar a global product company would set, and then built a business around what that team can do.

Where we are
Two cities. One standard.
A small senior team with no layers in between, which is how a five-day website stops being a marketing line and becomes a schedule.

No account managers.
The people who build it.
Most agencies put a salesperson in front of you and an unnamed team behind them. Here you deal with the people doing the work, and you know who they are.
CEO & Lead Engineer
Peter Salanje
Founded Skynat Labs and writes code on every project. Designed, built and still operates the company’s own products — a broadcast studio shipping on macOS and Windows with its own licensing and dual-currency checkout, a multi-tenant business platform with live billing, and the delivery and ride-hailing platforms.
Accountable for what gets delivered, and the person you speak to first.
UI Design & Consulting
Mike
Interface design across every build, and the consulting side of a project — how the product should work before anyone writes code for it.
Works on screens, flows and the decisions that come before them.

Thom
Application and platform engineering across web, mobile and the systems underneath them.

Lerato
Quotes, billing, project accounting and the commercial side of every engagement.
Handles the paperwork so a project never stalls on it.
Every product on our work page was built by this team and is still run by us. That is the only credential we think is worth much — software that is live, paid for and supported, not a portfolio of sites handed over and forgotten.
In our own words
Hear it from us.
A short film on how we think about technology, and what we set out to do for the organisations we work with. It is the clearest answer we can give to "who are these people, and why should I trust them with this?"

Four things we will not
compromise on.
Globally competitive engineering, locally priced
Our engineers work to the standard a global product company would expect. What keeps the price down is the absence of overhead — not junior developers, not shortcuts, and never handing your project to whoever happens to be free.
Premium value.
Fair price.
Fair price.
The value you receive from us is what other agencies charge a premium for. We have deliberately built the business so we can hold that standard and still quote a number a small South African company can actually say yes to.
We are builders, not a meetings business
One free 15-minute call is usually enough. We ask the questions that genuinely change the build, make a firm recommendation, and then go and execute it properly. You should be running your company, not sitting in workshops about your website.
The best possible result, first time
We aim for the best design, the best solution and the best outcome we can produce for the brief — not the fastest thing that passes. Then we keep revising until you sign it off, because that is how the project was priced from the start.

How it works
Free call. Fixed quote.
Free call. Fixed quote.
Then we build.
No discovery invoice for a website, no six meetings before anyone writes code. We ask what genuinely changes the build, then get on with it.
01
Free 15-minute call
What you need, what it must integrate with, who uses it and what success looks like. No slide deck, no sales sequence, no charge. You leave the call knowing the price.
Day 0 · Free02
Fixed quote
A line-itemed quote with a written scope, a delivery date and a plain-English list of what is not included — usually back with you within one working day.
Day 1 · Price locked03
Sign & 50% deposit
You sign the scope and pay half. That books your slot in the schedule and starts the clock on the delivery date written into your contract.
Day 1 · Slot booked04
Design
We design the real thing with your real content — not a greyscale wireframe you cannot judge. Change whatever you want, as often as you want, until it is right.
Days 1–3 · Unlimited revisions05
Build & integrate
Development, payment gateways, couriers, WhatsApp, analytics, POPIA, security hardening and speed work. A staging link goes up on day two and stays live for the whole build.
Days 2–6 · Staging from day 206
Launch & final payment
We deploy, hand over every credential and file in your name, and record a walkthrough for your team. The balance is due on handover — after you have seen it working.
Day 5–7 · 30 days supportWhat we need from youThe only three things
The only three things
that slow a project down.
01
Content, early
Logos, photos, product data and anything only you can write. We write the rest. Projects run late when this arrives in week two, which is why we ask for it before the clock starts.
02
One decision-maker
Name the person who can say yes. Design by committee is the single most common reason a one-week build becomes a two-month one.
03
Accounts & access
Domain, gateway and courier logins — or permission for us to open them in your name. We will send a checklist; it takes about twenty minutes.

15-minute call.
One short call is usually all it takes. We work out what you need, what it must integrate with, and what it will cost — and you leave knowing the number and the delivery date. No charge, no sales sequence, no obligation.
What happens on the call
Fifteen minutes, and you will have:
- ✓ A clear scope of what you need
- ✓ A price range on the call itself
- ✓ A realistic delivery date
- ✓ A written quote within a day

Privacy policy
How Skynat Labs collects, uses and protects your personal information, in line with the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA).
Last updated 26 September 2026
Who we are
Skynat Labs ("we", "us") is a software development company operating from Johannesburg, South Africa. For any privacy question or request, contact hello@skynat.co.za or +27 76 616 8470.
What we collect
We only collect what you give us. When you submit the quote form or book a call, we collect your name, email address, telephone number, company name and whatever project detail you choose to type. We do not ask for identity numbers, banking details or payment card information through this website.
Our hosting provider records standard server logs, including your IP address, for security and abuse prevention.
Why we use it
- To prepare and send you a quote, and to arrange the call you asked for.
- To answer your enquiry and keep a record of what was discussed and agreed.
- To prevent spam and abuse of our forms.
We do not use your details for automated decision-making or profiling.
Marketing
We do not add you to a mailing list because you asked for a quote. We will only send marketing if you separately and clearly opt in, and every such message carries an unsubscribe option.
Who we share it with
We do not sell your personal information and we do not share it with third parties for their own marketing. Your details are stored on our hosting infrastructure and are accessible only to Skynat Labs personnel working on your enquiry. We may disclose information where the law requires it.
Cookies and measurement
This site sets no advertising cookies of its own. If you play one of our videos it is served by YouTube in privacy-enhanced mode, which sets no tracking cookies unless you press play. Where we use website analytics or advertising measurement to understand in aggregate how the site performs, including Google Analytics and Google Ads conversion measurement, those services may set cookies on your device. You can block cookies in your browser settings without losing access to any part of this site.
How long we keep it
Enquiry records are kept for three years so we can honour quotes, warranties and support commitments, after which they are deleted. You may ask us to delete them sooner.
Your rights under POPIA
You may ask what personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, ask us to delete it, or object to our use of it. Write to hello@skynat.co.za and we will respond within a reasonable period. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Regulator of South Africa.
Security
The site is served over HTTPS. Enquiry records are stored outside the publicly accessible area of our server with restricted file permissions. No system is perfectly secure, but we take measures appropriate to the sensitivity of what we hold.
Changes
If we change this policy we will update the date shown above.
Legal
Terms of service
The terms on which Skynat Labs quotes for and delivers work. Your signed quote and scope document take precedence over anything on this page.
Last updated 26 September 2026
Quotes and scope
Prices shown on this website are starting prices, exclusive of VAT, and indicate what a typical project of that type costs. Your actual price is the figure on your written quote, fixed against a written scope. Work outside that scope is quoted separately and in advance — we do not add charges without your agreement.
Payment
Unless your quote says otherwise, 50% is payable on signature to book your delivery slot and the balance on handover. Projects above R30 000 begin with a paid discovery, which is credited in full against the build.
Delivery dates
Your contract carries a delivery date. That date runs from the moment the scope is signed and the content and access we have asked for are supplied. Where we miss a date for reasons within our control, the reduction stated in your contract applies. Delays caused by late content, late feedback or third-party approvals move the date accordingly.
Revisions
We do not cap revisions within the agreed scope; we revise until you sign off. A change of direction, a new page or a new feature after sign-off is new scope and is quoted separately.
Ownership
On final payment, ownership of what we build for you transfers to you: your application, all customisations and configuration made for your project, your content and data, your branding, your domain and your hosting account. You may take it to another developer at any time. We retain the right to describe the work and show it in our portfolio unless you ask us in writing not to. Third-party components remain subject to their own licences.
Some projects are built on frameworks, libraries and components we developed before your project began, including our own software products. These remain our property. Where any of it forms part of what we deliver to you, you receive a perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive licence to use it as part of your application, at no further cost and with no restriction on how you operate or modify your application. We may continue to use and develop those same underlying components in our own products and for other clients. Nothing in this paragraph limits your ownership of your own application, data or branding, and nothing in it locks you in.
Hosting and support
Where a package includes a first year of hosting, that covers standard managed hosting of the site we built. Support included after launch is stated on your quote. Care plans are month-to-month and may be cancelled on 30 days' notice; because you own the site, you may move it elsewhere at any time.
Your responsibilities
You confirm you have the right to use the content, logos and material you supply, and that it infringes no one else's rights. You are responsible for the lawful operation of the finished platform, including any regulatory or licensing requirements specific to your industry.
Liability
We are liable for defects in our workmanship and will correct them. To the extent the law permits, our total liability in respect of a project is limited to the fees paid to us for that project, and we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss such as lost profit or lost data. Nothing here limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of South Africa.
