One record.
Wrist, pocket and desk.
ITTAS builds synchronised operations software for South African businesses.

- Works without signal
- Settled at the office

How the pieces fit
Four devices. One record.
The watch is on the wrist where the work is. The phone and tablet carry the detail. The Windows machine on the desk is where it becomes an invoice, a payroll line and a record that stands up. Nothing is retyped between them.

What changes
Against doing it by hand
The same forty people, the same week. Paper and a spreadsheet, against the record captured on site.
Indicative of what we see in deployment, not a laboratory figure. We would rather show you on your own site.
Why it is better
Five things you notice in the first month.
A tap at the gate is a fact. A number written in at four o’clock is a memory.
Two seconds on site, instead of collecting sheets, retyping them and chasing the missing ones.
One record becomes the roster, the payroll export and the attendance register.
Time, place and person captured together, so a shift is settled by looking.
Staff see their own hours and earnings as they build up.
Everything we do
Six things, done fully.
Tap any one to open it. Nothing here is passed to someone you have never met.
R2 700 for a half day, up to eight people. R450 per extra head. Included quarterly at Partner tier, monthly at Principal.
R1 260 for the first machine, R630 each thereafter, minimum of three. Included on site at Principal tier.
R360 a month, web and email together.
R18 per mailbox, minimum of ten, so R180 a month. Prepay six months for R900, or twelve for R1 800.
R450 each, or R900 for all three together.
The position
Projects end.
Operations do not.
Most suppliers sell you a thing and leave. We stay and run it with you.
- It learns your businessIt becomes accurate after a full year of your pricing, your customers and your slow months.
- We contract for a termTwelve months takes 18% off the standard rate, twenty-four months takes 27%.
- It is maintained, not handed overUpdates, security fixes and staff training continue for the whole term.

In their words
Clients who stayed.
Hosting clients, entrepreneurs, partners and people who work here. Their words, not ours.
ITTAS Thread™
The work happens on site. The proof should too.
A record written back at the office an hour later is not a record, it is a recollection. Thread captures it where and when it happens, on whatever device is already on the person. Built for your business, and running on infrastructure that belongs to you.
Band, the watch
For work where hands are full and two seconds matter.
- Tap in, tap outUnder two seconds. No unlock, no typing.
- It reaches full handsA buzz on the wrist gets noticed by drivers, technicians, guards and nurses.
- Proof of presenceA worn device is the closest proof that a person was actually there.
- It knows the siteGeofenced, so a tap only counts in the right place.
- A panic buttonRaise an alert straight from the wrist.
Carry, phone and tablet
The detail of the job, written to the device first.
- PhotographsProof of the work, taken at the job.
- SignaturesSigned by the customer, on site.
- Forms and checklistsInspections and job steps, ticked off as they happen.
- Stock movementsIssues and returns recorded where they happen.
- Works offlineA basement, a farm or load-shedding changes nothing.
- Syncs itselfNothing lost and nothing entered twice when signal returns.
Desk, the Windows console
Where the business sees it, bills it and proves it.
- RosterWho is where, today and this week.
- Approvals and exceptionsLate, missed or long shifts, flagged for a decision.
- InvoicesRaised from the jobs that were actually done.
- Payroll exportVerified hours, straight to payroll.
- BCEA attendance registerSection 31: time worked recorded, kept three years, produced on demand.

This is the part most software gets wrong here. Switch the signal off and watch the record, then switch it back on.

How a record travels
From a tap on site to payroll.
- Step 1Tap in on sitePhone or watch, in two seconds.
- Step 2Held on the deviceSafe, even with no signal.
- Step 3Synced to the officeThe moment signal returns.
- Step 4Approved on DeskExceptions checked by a person.
- Step 5Payroll and registerExported, and kept for three years.
Software you open because you have to.
We only build a module when something in your business genuinely has to happen again tomorrow. Dashboards people mean to look at get ignored within a fortnight. These do not.
The app your staff keep
Free for every person on a Thread site.
- Their shift recordEvery hour they worked, as they worked it.
- Earnings so farWhat this month comes to, before payday.
- A verified work historyIt stays theirs, even if they leave you.
People use a clocking system properly when it is what guarantees their pay is right.
Built for South African conditions
Most international software assumes none of this.
- Patchy coverageCapturing needs no signal. Only catching up does.
- Load-sheddingThe device keeps working and keeps the record.
- Prepaid dataSmall text updates, so it costs your people very little.
How it is built
Yours, not a seat in ours.
Most software companies build one product and rent you a place inside it. We build you your own, because with AI behind us a system made for one business costs what a shared one used to.
Your own system
- Your own database, in your own account
- Hosted in South Africa, never beside another company
- We look after it remotely, the way an accountant works in your books
Your own apps
- Your name and your icon on the device
- They connect to your servers, not ours
- Installed privately to your business, not listed publicly
Real programs, installed on the device. The Windows console has its own installer, keeps its own copy of the data, and works with the fibre down. It is not a website you sign into.
Your records stay yours
- We hold none of your staff records at all
- We see whether your system is healthy, nothing more
- Every time we look, it is written to your own log
Underneath, every build shares a core we maintain: people, places, shifts, proof and pay. What we build for you sits on top of it, which is why something made for your business does not cost what bespoke software used to.
Who it is for
Anyone whose people work out of sight.
The question is always the same. Who worked, where were they, and what do I owe them. It does not matter whether you have forty staff or one.
For a business
Security, cleaning, construction, landscaping, deliveries, building management, farming, events, home care.
- Proof a client cannot argue withPhotographs and times nobody can adjust afterwards.
- The register the law asks forBuilt from what was captured on site, not written up later.
- Wages that settle themselvesHours come from the record, so disputes end quickly.
For a household
A family employing someone at home has the same three questions, and the same duty to keep a record.
- Hours kept properlyA domestic worker's hours, recorded as they happen.
- Visits you can seeA nanny's day, a caretaker at a second property, a maintenance call.
- Everyone agrees on the numberPay worked out from the record, so nobody has to remember.
The same software, built smaller. Speak to us about what a home actually needs.
The layer across all three
Veda
The intelligence on top of everything Thread records.
- A daily briefWhat actually happened today, on one screen.
- Anomaly flagsA missed site, a long shift, a number that moved when it should not have.
- Speed to leadCustomers get an answer before they phone someone else.
- Your own name, if you preferThe same intelligence, with your brand and a character you choose.
Veda never sees anything you have not agreed to share, in writing, in advance.
Pricing
Published prices.
No quiet mark-ups.
All excluding VAT. Choose an arrangement and every price below updates to the rate you would actually pay. The longer the term, the lower the rate, because a longer term is worth more to us than a discount costs.

What a proper deployment costs
Priced on the hours a deployment genuinely takes, much of it done by our own AI tooling, plus the time we spend on your site. That covers configuring the watch, phone and tablet, and Windows apps, visiting, training your people, supporting the first two weeks and writing the handover.
| Team size | Presence | Field | Operations |
|---|---|---|---|
| Up to 25 people1 site | R25 200 | R28 800 | R31 500 |

Devices · once off
Watch, to buy

Worked example
A maintenance firm with twenty-five technicians
| Thread platform | R450 |
| 25 Field seats | R2 925 |
| Their own phones | R0 |
| Monthly, all in | R3 375 |
That is R135 a month per person for dispatched jobs, photographic proof, signatures, inspections and a compliant attendance register, on the phones they already carry. Setup for a team this size is R28 800, once.
Clocking only? A security firm with fifty guards on Presence seats comes to R2 700 a month, which is R54 a person. Setup is R40 500, plus R18 a post for the tags they tap.

How we work
Useful software needs real data. Here is how we handle yours.
We contract for a term, not a project. The longer you commit, the lower your rate.
What you pay, by term
Month to month
Associate
Standard rate
- NDA signed before anything is shared
- Support within two working days
- Leave at thirty days’ notice
Twelve months
Partner
18% below standard
- POPIA operator agreement, section 21

Twenty-four months
Principal
27% below standard
- On-site AI tooling installation included
- Four-hour response
- Monthly training and review
- Source code released at end of term
Why a term, and not something you can leave in a week
- Accuracy needs historyThree weeks of data guesses. A year knows when your quiet month is.
- Safety needs accountabilityA named party answers for your information, for a defined period.
- Reliability needs presenceA partner still there in month eighteen means maintenance, not archaeology.
Five rules we keep with your information, from the first conversation.
Everything in writing, first
- An NDA before a single credential is shared
- A POPIA section 21 operator agreement from Partner tier
- Without that agreement POPIA is already breached, even if nothing goes wrong
Your data stays your side
- Your own database, hosted in South Africa
- AI tooling installed on your own machines
- Your business is not uploaded to somebody else’s
- We hold none of your staff records, only whether your system is healthy
Least access, always
- The narrowest permission that does the job
- Named accounts, never shared ones
- Every credential handed back at the end of the term
Your staff know what is recorded
- Location only for a stated work purpose
- Shown in the app to the person wearing it
- Never sold and never shared
You own what we build
- Your design, data and branding stay yours
- Source code released in full at the end of a Principal term
- Stay because it works, not because you are locked in
Plain language about AI, so you understand it rather than trust us blindly. The first hour is free.
