South African software, built & hosted

A fixed point for the software your business runs on.

NorthStar Digital Solutions designs and builds custom software — and we run it for you on AWS once it’s ready, so you get a live product without having to figure out hosting yourself.

What we do

Software built for your business — and a place for it to run.

Build

Custom Software Development

Web platforms and internal tools built around how your business actually works — from the first line of code to a production-ready product.

Build

SaaS Product Build

Multi-tenant platforms with real authentication, role-based access, and data isolation — built to be sold, not just demoed.

Protect

Compliance & Workflow Systems

Dashboards for tracking regulatory, safety, and data-protection obligations — built for South African compliance frameworks.

Run

Hosting & Deployment on AWS

Once your software is built, we deploy and run it on AWS as part of the delivery — so you walk away with a live product, not a zip file and instructions.

Our work

A fair sense of how we build, before we build yours.

CompliancePro

In development

SHEQ Compliance

Contractor, workforce, and site-safety compliance dashboard built for South African mining and construction — document tracking, certifications, and incident logs in one place.

POPIAGuard

In development

Data Protection

POPIA compliance tracker for businesses and the consultancies managing it on their behalf — processing records, third-party operator agreements, and breach logging.

Stokvela

In development

Community Finance

A treasurer's tool for running a stokvel or burial society — member contributions, payout rotation, and a proper record of who's paid and who hasn't.

The Cosmopolitan

In development

Local Marketplace

A local business directory and room-booking platform, seeded with real listings across Johannesburg neighbourhoods, built to help local supply get discovered.

About

NorthStar Digital Solutions

A South African software development company. We build custom platforms — from compliance dashboards to community finance tools to local marketplaces — and once they’re built, we run them for you on AWS.

Hosting isn’t a separate service you have to go source elsewhere — it’s part of how we deliver the software, so you end up with a working product, not just a codebase.

Built for the South African market

We design around the regulations, industries, and realities businesses here actually deal with — not a generic template.

We ship it running, not just written

The same team that builds your software deploys it on AWS and hands you a working product — no separate handoff to figure out hosting.

Honest about what's done

We tell you plainly what's shipped, what's in progress, and what still needs work — not a polished demo hiding an empty backend.
