01
Custom business software
Line-of-business systems specified around your workflow — stock, orders, scheduling, approvals, reporting — instead of a package you have to bend to.
EST. 2007 · HARARE · CAPE TOWN
Software built around the business you already run.
We are a Zimbabwean software engineering company shipping custom systems since 2007. We don't reshape your operation to fit an ERP — we specify, build and support the system your operation actually needs.

01 — Capabilities
Nine disciplines, one delivery team.
Every engagement starts with your process, not our template. We map how the business actually works, then engineer against it — and stay on after launch.
02
Web applications
Multi-tenant portals, admin consoles and customer-facing platforms built for low-bandwidth conditions and real device diversity.
03
Mobile apps
iOS and Android products for field teams and consumers, with offline-tolerant flows, push messaging and store release management.
04
Systems integration & APIs
Making the tools you already paid for talk to each other — accounting, payroll, POS, CRM — with documented APIs and reliable sync.
05
Fintech, payments & escrow
Mobile-money and card collection, multi-currency ledgers, and escrow flows that hold funds until both sides of a transaction are satisfied.
06
Cloud & DevOps
Provisioning, containerised deployment, monitoring, backups and restore drills — so the system stays up and recovery is rehearsed, not theoretical.
07
UI/UX design
Interface design tested against the people who will use it daily — clerks, drivers, managers — not just the person signing the contract.
08
Consulting & discovery
A fixed-scope discovery that ends in a written specification, architecture and cost — useful even if you never build it with us.
09
Digital marketing & growth
Search-first sites, campaign pages, analytics and conversion tracking, social and WhatsApp funnels — plus the print and in-store collateral that gets a new platform in front of real customers.
03 — How we work
A sequence, not a surprise.
You know what happens next, what it costs and what you get at the end of each stage. Nothing is invoiced against a slide.
STAGE 01
Process mapping
We sit with your team and document how work moves today, including the workarounds nobody put in the manual.
STAGE 02
Specification & architecture
A written scope, data model, integration plan and fixed cost. You own the document either way.
STAGE 03
Iterative build
Two-week increments on a staging environment you can log into. Feedback changes the next sprint, not the budget.
STAGE 04
Migration & training
Historic data moved and reconciled, staff trained on their own records, parallel run until the numbers agree.
STAGE 05
Support & evolution
Monitoring, backups and a standing agreement for changes as the business shifts. Systems we built in 2011 are still running.
04 — Since 2007
Nineteen years of building for African business.
MaxiSoft Solutions was established in Zimbabwe in 2007 to answer a question local companies kept asking: why should we redesign the way we work to satisfy imported software?
We took the opposite position. We build the system around the business — its terminology, its approval chains, its currencies, its bandwidth. That has produced restaurant management systems, booking platforms, escrow-powered marketplaces, agricultural trade platforms and childcare products, all running in real markets.
Today we work from Harare and Cape Town, serving Zimbabwean SMEs, regional enterprises, and international clients who want a senior team in their timezone.
“We build solutions that suit our clients' business — rather than changing your business to suit an ERP system.”

05 — Engineering stack
Boring technology, chosen on purpose.
We pick tools your next engineer can hire into and your finance team can afford to run — then document the decision.

06 — Working with us
Three ways an engagement starts.
Most clients begin with a discovery, then move into a build. A few come to us with a system someone else wrote and stay for the support. All three are priced up front.
ENGAGEMENT 01
Discovery sprint
Two to three weeks with your team to turn "we need a system" into something you can put out to tender — with us or with anyone else.
- Process map of how the work moves today
- Written functional specification and data model
- Integration plan for the tools you already run
- Architecture, hosting and running-cost estimate
- Fixed build price with staged milestones
FIXED FEE · YOU OWN THE DOCUMENT
ENGAGEMENT 02
Build partnership
The full delivery: design, engineering, data migration and training, shipped in two-week increments against the agreed specification.
- Staging environment you can log into from day one
- Fortnightly demo and written progress note
- Historic data migrated and reconciled line by line
- Staff trained on their own records, not a demo set
- Parallel run until the old and new numbers agree
MILESTONE BILLING · SCOPE CHANGES QUOTED
ENGAGEMENT 03
Support & evolution
A standing agreement for the years after launch — including systems we did not originally build, once we have reviewed the code.
- Monitoring, patching and off-site backups
- Rehearsed restore drills, not theoretical ones
- Named response times for production incidents
- A monthly pool of hours for changes and reports
- Roadmap review each quarter with the business
