App development in Durban.
Quantide is a Durban studio. We build custom apps, automations and digital workflows for businesses here and across South Africa — scoped and priced in writing before anything starts, and yours to run afterwards.
The businesses we build for in Durban.
- Freight, logistics and port services
- Durban runs the busiest container port in Africa, and the businesses around it live on job tracking, proof of delivery, driver hand-offs and customs paperwork — all of it still done on paper and WhatsApp in most yards.
- Manufacturing and industrial
- Pinetown, Prospecton, Mobeni and the Riverhorse corridor. Production job cards, quality checks, machine downtime logs and stock movements between plant and warehouse.
- Wholesale and retail distribution
- Reps taking orders in the field, price lists that change weekly, credit limits, and deliveries that have to reconcile against what actually left the warehouse.
- Tourism, hospitality and events
- Bookings, group quotes, seasonal staffing and supplier coordination along the coast and up into the Midlands.
“Durban's operational businesses tend to run on a stack nobody chose: a WhatsApp group, a spreadsheet somebody guards, and a printed job card that gets rained on. That is not a technology problem to be solved with a bigger platform — it is a process that needs one system to hold the record while it moves. That is the kind of build this studio takes.”
What Durban businesses ask us to build.
- —Job tracking from collection to delivery, with proof-of-delivery captured on a phone
- —Driver and vehicle apps that work when signal drops between yards
- —Field sales order capture against live stock and customer credit limits
- —Inspection and checklist apps for plant, equipment and site safety
- —Quote-to-invoice workflows that stop a job moving until the paperwork is right
- —Booking and scheduling systems for operators with seasonal demand
Priced by scope, not by postcode.
Builds start from R20,000. What moves a brief up is scope — how many kinds of user, how many integrations, how many platforms and how many separate flows run against the same data. Being in Durban does not change the figure, and the scope and the price are agreed in writing before anything starts.
Quantide is based in Durban, KwaZulu-Natal, and works with businesses across South Africa. There is no walk-in office — briefs are taken in writing and builds are delivered remotely.
Durban questions, answered.
- Do you build apps for businesses in Durban?
- Yes — Quantide is based in Durban. We build custom apps, automation and digital workflows for businesses here, across KwaZulu-Natal and anywhere else in South Africa. There is no walk-in office: briefs are taken in writing, the scope and quote are agreed before anything starts, and you get a private working build to test before the balance is charged.
- How much does an app cost in Durban?
- Builds start from R20,000, and the figure follows the scope rather than the city. There are three sizes quoted from — from R20,000, from R40,000 and from R60,000 — set by how many kinds of user, how many integrations and how many platforms the job needs. Anything outside those is quoted on its own from your brief.
- Do you work with logistics and freight companies?
- Yes. Job tracking, proof of delivery, driver hand-offs, inspections and quote-to-invoice workflows are the kinds of build that come out of Durban's freight and port economy most often. The build is shaped to how your yard already runs, not to a product you have to adapt to.
