Innovative Options offers Software Development and WordPress Editing and Design Services
Business Administration Software Development Service
Our client base includes a variety of small enterprises, ranging from independent consultants, accounting services, managing rental properties, fast food outlets to motor vehicle repair shops.
Spread thin keeping track of all your spreadsheets? Our software consolidates multiple data streams into cohesive systems that include staff, cash, and asset management.
Many start-ups and small businesses initially rely on spreadsheets to record data related to sales and stock, and to generate quotes and invoices.
But, as a business grows, this approach quickly becomes inefficient, as the ability to easily access historical data grows increasingly limited. The accounting function can either outsourced, or managed via a subscription to a software package.
Both options will incur a monthly fee. And most software packages now involve storing your data on the cloud, where it can be withheld from you should you choose to cancel your subscription.
Additionally, your (and your clients’) confidential data may be used for AI training without your knowledge or consent. With our systems, you have full control over where and how your data is stored.
Buried under mountains of admin? Our software systems are designed to speed up processes while reducing errors, leaving you free to focus on your core business.
All our software options allow comprehensive data retrieval as well as including fully integrated accounting functions, providing a full set of financial records and reports.
This means that the same data does not have to be entered into the system repeatedly. Once captured on the system, it is retained and can be added to. It is also available for manipulation, as well as for export to “partner” products.
Think of it like building a house, the first entry is laying the foundation, each subsequent entry is building up a layer of bricks, topping it all off by finally adding the roof. As each new level is added, it offers the ability to validate the data already entered.
Where possible, we create import / export modules to facilitate data exchange between our systems and any other systems used by our clients.
The most common example is data import and export from and to Sage Pastel Accounting® (a South African accounting package marketed world-wide).
To facilitate data inquiry and follow-up, we design applications with a large number of browse screens, as well as management reports.
We provide password-protected log-in screens for data-sensitive and multi-user applications.
User access is restricted according to assigned access level.
Tired of looking for the perfect fit? Our software is designed and built in consultation with you to match your exact needs.
Our design philosophy is to ensure every system is uncomplicated and easy to use. Visual cues such as icons and colour allow users to identify specific data conditions.
A variety of desktops allow instant access to key data, as in this example, where staff-clock-in-times are tracked, including whether or not they clocked in at all:
Depending on your needs, data can be fully customizable, as in this example of a ‘Time Control and Defaults Setup’:

WordPress and Web Content Editing and Design Service
Want to stand out from the competition? We offer text, image, and WordPress editing services to give your small business a distinctive communication style.
A downside of using AI to create copy for use on social media, websites, and other forms of communication is that everyone ends up looking and sounding the same.
We offer a Non-Slop service, which includes proofreading, fact checking, image editing, and personalization to help you assure your customers that you’re human and you care about personal service.
If you’re using WordPress for your website, we can do your content editing (includes proofreading, rewriting, image editing, and fact-checking). If your site is looking a bit stale, we offer a simple refresh, or even a complete redesign.
