"

As a first-year student, navigating a new campus can be overwhelming. But HOSEA made it a breeze! The app is super user-friendly and the maps are spot on. I love how it shows me the closest classrooms, libraries, and even food spots. Plus, the event calendar is awesome — I never miss out on campus happenings. HOSEA has definitely improved my campus experience.

Common Questions
How long does a typical project take?
Most projects range from 6–16 weeks depending on scope. We begin with a discovery phase to define timeline and deliverables before development starts.
Do you work with institutions outside South Africa?
Yes. While our roots are in Limpopo, our solutions scale across Africa and beyond. We have a global product vision.
How does pricing work?
Pricing is project-based and scoped in the discovery phase. We provide a fixed-fee proposal before any work begins — no hidden costs. Retainer arrangements are also available.
Do you sign NDAs?
Yes. We sign a mutual NDA before any detailed discussions. Protecting your ideas and data is a priority.
Can you customise for our sector?
Absolutely. Every project begins with understanding your context. We tailor solutions to your sector, users, and environment — no generic templates.
