Integration & solutions

What we do for clients

Business process refinement and implementation.

Most companies don't need more software. They need the work to stop falling between the systems they already pay for. We map how a business actually runs — the spreadsheets, the re-keying, the approvals sitting in someone's inbox — then refine that process and build the thing that removes it. Not a recommendation deck. The working system, in production, with your team using it.

01

Map the process

We follow the work end to end and write down what really happens — not the version in the procedure manual. Every manual hand-off, duplicate capture and workaround gets named.

02

Refine before building

A bad process automated is just a faster bad process. Steps get removed, merged or reordered first — so what we build is the improved way of working, not the old one in a new skin.

03

Integrate what you have

Accounting, mail, CRM, stock, scheduling, payments — connected so data is captured once and flows. Custom platforms only where nothing off the shelf genuinely fits.

04

Implement and hand over

Built, verified, deployed and documented, with your people trained on it — then supported and evolved as the business changes. We stay after go-live.

Why it lands

We are not consultants who leave at the recommendation stage, and not a dev shop waiting for a spec. Codexa builds and runs its own platforms — a media server, a lighting desk, a drafting app, the Raedia Suite that holds the show apps together, a spreadsheet reader, a sports broadcasting SaaS, a legal practice system, a group e-commerce store. The same method that ships those is what we point at a client's operation: spec it, build it, verify it, evolve it.

Raedıa — one source, every screen.

A GPU-native media server for live visuals. Play and mix layers like an instrument, then map any region of the canvas onto the projectors and LED walls in the room. Resolume power, consumer-grade ease.

  • The Mapping Surface — warp, mask and edge-blend content regions onto any physical surface, in a form a non-technical operator can drive.
  • Layers, clips & columns — composite in real time and fire a column to launch a whole scene at once.
  • Real-time GPU effects — dropped on a layer or a single clip, reordered and re-tuned live with no render wait.
  • Phone remote · Pro — pair a phone with a code or QR, then fire columns and clips from your own network. No app to install.
  • Control I/O — MIDI and OSC in every plan. Pro adds DMX (Art-Net / sACN). Drive Raedia from the gear you own, or let it drive the rig.
  • 60+ fps, <16 ms — GPU-native output with hardware video decode. Rust · wgpu · Windows.

Praxia — a trust deficit should be impossible, not discovered.

Praxia refuses any transaction that would take a matter's trust balance below zero — at the moment of capture, not at the year-end audit. Written for the Legal Practice Act. Practice management and trust accounting for South African law firms.

  • Section 86 trust — receipts, payments, transfers and s86(4) investments. Each matter ring-fenced. A deficit is blocked at capture.
  • One ledger — trust, business accounting and billing are one double-entry ledger, so a fee raised is a fee posted.
  • Matters and FICA — matter files, responsible fee earner, work in progress and the trust position at a glance.

Each firm's data sits in its own database.

Product · Spreadsheet · Read on your machine

Outgrown — the file everything runs on has outgrown itself.

It started as a spreadsheet. It quietly became the system the business depends on. Drop it in and Outgrown reads it — here, on your own machine — and tells you plainly what it is carrying, and what could carry it instead.

Outgrown read: this looks like a law firm running on one spreadsheet, with around 50 people depending on it. Outgrown read: 47 broken formulas, 12 of them feeding the totals. Read from 3 sheets and 4 210 rows. Outgrown: your file stayed here. This ran entirely on your computer. The file was never uploaded.
  • Drop the file — the workbook stays on your machine. There is no upload.
  • Read here — sheets, formulas and dates, inside your browser tab.
  • See what you would gain — a plain read of what the file is carrying, and what could carry it instead.

The Spreadsheet X-ray is free and runs entirely on your machine. Nothing is uploaded and nothing is stored. The Monday Number and The Spine are the paid steps after that — prices are on the Outgrown site. Your spreadsheet keeps working exactly as it does now.

How we build

Spec it. Build it. Verify it. Evolve it.

Shared plumbing across the whole house — every brand runs on the same disciplined, cost-aware foundation.

02

Build

Implementation runs fast, with senior direction on architecture, security and quality throughout.

03

Verify

Automated tests and staging cut-overs before anything touches real users or client data.

04

Evolve

Shipped isn't finished — one team keeps evolving each platform with new features and regions.

KaziEdu — South African AI Education Platform

Kazi Edu — free schooling AI for every SA child.

Umuntu ngumuntu ngabantu — “I am because we learn.”

The reason the rest of this house exists. Our commercial software funds one legacy project: a free, national CAPS-aligned learning platform for South African children, Grade 000 to Matric. A multilingual AI co-pilot for learners, a workload-lifter for teachers, and a WhatsApp window for parents — carried on ICASA zero-rated data so no family pays a cent to use it.

Gr 000 → Matric

Full CAPS coverage, in isiZulu, isiXhosa, Afrikaans, Sesotho and English.

Zero data cost

ICASA-mandated PBO zero-rating puts the portal outside every learner’s data bill.
