Custom Software Development for Cape Town Businesses

Malva Dev is a South African software studio based in Gauteng. We work with Cape Town founders, startups, and teams the way we work with everyone: remotely, closely, and without the overhead of a local agency office. Whether you are building a product, rescuing a stalled one, or scaling what you already have, the distance stops mattering once the process is right.

Remote, done properly

We work across timezones as a matter of routine. You get clear communication, regular progress you can actually follow, and a reply within one business day. Most of our clients never need us in the room, and the ones who do get us on a call within the hour. What you save on a Cape Town agency's office and account-management layer goes into the build instead.

Cape Town work we are proud of

We built the membership and recurring-billing platform for DANSA, the Divers Alert Network in Southern Africa, based in Cape Town. It serves thousands of divers and their families with automated Netcash debit-order billing, self-service policy management, and flexible family-coverage logic. (Link to the DANSA case study.)

What we build

Custom software, web applications, project rescue, MVPs for startups, payment and billing integration, and e-commerce. If it runs in a browser or needs to be rescued, we can help.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you work with Cape Town clients remotely?

Yes. Most of our delivery is remote, with async updates and regular calls.

Are you cheaper than a Cape Town agency?

Usually, because you are not paying for a local office or an account-management layer. You pay for the build.

Can we meet in person?

We work mainly over video, and we can arrange in-person time when a project genuinely calls for it.
