03 · Solutions

Nine disciplines. One accountable team.

GEMIS combines the technical and design disciplines a business system needs — to build it, connect it, improve it and support it. Most engagements draw on several at once, and you deal with one team throughout.

Custom software development

Systems designed around how your business actually runs.

04 · How we work

Understand. Design. Build. Evolve.

The same four stages sit behind every system on this site. Discovery is where it starts — a conversation about how the work is done today, before anything is proposed.

Book a discovery session

  1. 01

    Understand

    We learn your business before proposing anything: how the work is actually done, where it breaks, and what a fix is worth.

  2. 02

    Design

    We design the system around your people and your process, and test it with them before anything is built.

  3. 03

    Build

    Short, demonstrated sprints on the Microsoft Cloud, so you see the system grow and steer it as it does.

  4. 04

    Evolve

    Go-live is the start. We monitor, maintain and keep improving the system as the business changes.

05 · Case studies

Systems in production, each with its story on video

In their words

Some of the businesses we work with today first trusted GEMIS more than a decade ago.

  1. The GEMIS team consistently met deadlines and delivered a solution that streamlined our operations, enhancing customer satisfaction and our market position.

07 · Principles

Seven systems. The same four decisions.

The four operating principles behind every system on this site, each with the case studies it is seen in.

  1. 01

    Start where the work leaks, not where the software is.

    Enquiries lost between apps at SBS. Quotes, terms and payments chased by hand at WasteMart. We fix the leak before we design a screen.

  2. 02

    Capture it once, where it happens, even with no signal.

    Sonke’s facilitators log sessions offline. HomeAssist plumbers photograph each step on site. WasteMart drivers confirm with a scan.

  3. 03

    Automate the hand-off nobody owns.

    SBS deposit invoices go straight into accounting. WasteMart operations are alerted the moment payment lands. Tore’s claims are checked against the sessions actually run.

  4. 04

    Build for year ten, not launch day.

    SBS still runs on the system from 2015. Trans Hex’s version two added forecasts and live exchange rates. The SBS system grew into ManaGEM.
