    What you get

    Three things, no fine print.

    • A working demo of your own system, built from your answers, in your hands within five days. The demo is free.
    • Software shaped around how your business actually runs, not a template with your logo on it.
    • Run by us after launch: hosted, supported and improved every month, on one licence.

    Proof, already running

    “I don't have to stress that something gets missed.”

    Approach

    How we operate.

    1. 1

      One conversation

      You walk us through how the business runs today: the messages, the spreadsheets, the misses.

    2. 2

      Scoped in writing

      What gets built, what it costs, which milestones release payment.

    3. 3

      We build the system

      Purpose-built for your operation, not configured from someone else’s product. Delivered in weeks.

    4. 4

      You use it early

      A working version in your hands while it’s still cheap to change.

    5. 5

      Proof, then payment

      Milestones fall due only once it runs on real work. This is the arrabon.

    6. 6

      We keep it running

      Hosted, supported and improved on a monthly licence. We don’t hand over and leave.

    About

    We started Arrabon to build the software nobody was going to build for you.

    Michael Cockcroft built his career implementing enterprise systems for some of the biggest companies across South Africa, America and Europe.

    Along the way, he realised that if a system can make a business run better, it should be made available to anyone.

    So now we build those systems ourselves, and then we run them.

    ἀρραβών

    Arrabon. The earnest. In ancient Greek commerce, the money put down in good faith as proof the rest would follow. It’s how we build: something real first, running on real work, before we ask you to believe the whole.

    What we don’t do

    • Resell or customise off-the-shelf software.
    • Build and walk away. Every system we build, we host, operate and support.
    • Marketing sites, e-commerce builds or app-store plays.
    • Charge for promises. Nothing falls due before it’s demonstrably working.
