We are Haefele

We believe effective software development starts with collaboration. True collaboration. Much like with the creative arts, music and film making, the outlier productions are the result of passionate, specialist professionals collaboratively weaving their expertise together, each sharpening their respective crafts. Software development at its best, is no different.

We cultivate and mentor teams of dedicated software professionals, partnering with our clients to provide cohesive, hand-crafted Agile teams covering Scrum Masters, Analysts, Architects, full-stack Developers and Test Engineers, many already practiced alongside each other, driven to solve their next challenging problem, as a team.

As an offshore & offsite development partner to our international and local clients, we often travel between and weave our client teams into our space in Cape Town and Johannesburg – it’s all about collaboration. Our team is your team, and your team awaits.

How we work

Honesty & Openness

Our business is built on relationships, and the most rewarding relationships are built on honesty & openness.

Communication

We know good software starts with good communication – starting with listening and understanding your business and user challenge.

Responsiveness & Reliability

We know the importance of receiving a competent response swiftly and reliably on issues big or small.

Free Consultation

We offer a free consultation visit for one of our analysts to listen to your challenges, understand your business and give an immediate steer on your IT options.

Obligation-Free Analysis

No-one likes to be locked in! We believe it’s important to offer our clients competent analysis without the obligation to use our development services.

Flexible Costing

We’re equally innovative with our rates and approach to development, offering different levels of engagement and partnership.

Rapid Development Frameworks

Our rapid development toolkits allow us to take on projects big or small and avoid re-inventing the wheel, meaning shorter development times, meaning more affordable solutions for our clients.

SME Focussed

We have a passion for small to medium enterprises and enjoy bringing our professional expertise in international enterprise systems to the SME owner at affordable rates.

Time-Zone Friendly

For our UK clients, the Cape Town time-zone is ideal! And so is the weather for those “premises inspections”!
