What is your biggest success?
The biggest success for the business has been securing high-profile consulting projects with major government entities, where we played a key role in enhancing their online presence and supporting their digital transformation efforts. This included the development of modern intranet systems, user-friendly websites, and in-depth analysis of their existing applications to improve functionality and efficiency. These achievements led to a 200% increase in revenue from the previous financial year and the employment of 16 interns, contributing to both business growth and youth skills development. We are also currently developing three in-house systems: a clocking system and a project management platform to streamline our internal operations, as well as a funeral cover management system tailored for funeral parlors. Additionally, we successfully launched a custom booking system for a travel agency, showcasing our ability to deliver innovative, industry-specific digital solutions.
What has been your biggest hurdle?
Scalability Challenges such as
Heavy reliance on outsourcing: Web hosting and printing services increase operating costs and reduce margins.
Limited in-house technical capacity: The absence of a full-time development team restricts project volume and turnaround speed.
Cash flow constraints: Without external funding, investing in key infrastructure and staff becomes difficult.
Operational inefficiencies: Lack of automation in marketing and client management reduces service capacity.
