We build software
your organisation
runs on.
Custom systems, enterprise platforms, workflow automation and the integrations that hold them together. We start with the process you actually run, not the one in the manual, and we stay on after go-live.

Services
What we build.
Eight kinds of engagement. Most projects are one of them; a few are two or three in sequence.
Custom software
Systems built for one organisation's process, because the off-the-shelf one does not fit it.
02Enterprise software
Large systems that have to survive contact with the systems already in the building.
03Workflow automation
Find the step where the work waits, and remove the waiting.
04Data integration & extraction
Move data between systems that were never designed to talk to each other.
05Web development
Front end, back end and database, built to be fast on the connections your users actually have.
06Mobile applications
Native and cross-platform apps, including the ones that have to work offline.
07Cloud & infrastructure automation
Infrastructure defined in code, so the second environment matches the first.
08Technology consulting
An outside read on the system, the architecture or the plan, before you commit to it.
How we build
Craft is what survives the handover.
Anyone can demo software. The test is whether it still works in year three, under a different team, during an audit.
The record is the product
Our systems are used by people who have to prove what happened. So every action leaves a record with an owner and a timestamp, and that record is designed first, not bolted on before launch.
Integrate with what exists
Nobody replaces their ERP because a new system would prefer it. We build to connect: SAP, Oracle, Dynamics, eTIMS, KRA, payment systems, whatever is already load-bearing.
Built to be handed over
Documentation, training and clean code are part of delivery. You should be able to run, extend or hire for the system without us in the room.
We stay after launch
Software goes wrong in production, not in the demo. Maintenance, monitoring and a route to a human are part of the engagement, not an upsell.
Process
Six steps, in this order.
Skipping one of these is how projects end up rebuilt. The order matters more than the ceremony.
- 01
Consultation
We sit with the people who do the work and find out what actually happens, including the workarounds nobody documented.
- 02
Planning and proposal
Scope, timeline and cost in writing, with the assumptions listed. If something is unknown, it is named as unknown.
- 03
Design and development
Data model first, then interface. You see working software early and often rather than a demo at the end.
- 04
Testing and refinement
Functional, load and user acceptance testing. Findings go on a list that gets closed, not a list that gets discussed.
- 05
Implementation and integration
Migration, integration with existing systems and a cutover plan that accounts for the day the old system is switched off.
- 06
Training and support
Your team is trained on the system they will use, and we stay on for maintenance, updates and the questions that arrive in month three.
Our own products
Four platforms we built and still run.
These came out of client work. The same request kept arriving from different institutions, so we built it properly once. They are also the clearest evidence of the kind of system we can build for you.
Internal audit & GRC
Assure
Internal audit management software that unifies the audit universe, risk register, working papers, findings and continuous monitoring in one system.
Strategy execution & performance
TeamPulse
Performance management software that cascades strategy into portfolios, projects and individual performance agreements, then reports on all three together.
Document management
VaultIQ
Enterprise document management software with encrypted storage, approval workflows, OCR, e-signatures and retention policies in one vault.
Board governance
BoardIQ
Board management software for digital board packs, agenda planning, e-signatures, resolutions and action tracking with role-based access.
Questions

What does Deltacraft actually build?
Enterprise systems for organisations that have to evidence their work: internal audit and GRC, board governance, document control and performance management. We ship four products of our own and take on custom builds in the same territory.
Can you integrate with our existing ERP and finance systems?
Yes, and it is usually the core of the project. Assure ships with connectors for SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, eTIMS and KRA. For custom work we design the integration against your actual systems during discovery, before the estimate.
Do you work with public sector organisations?
A large share of our work is public sector. TeamPulse is used by ministries, parastatals and county governments running performance contracts, and Assure is built around the audit cycle those bodies are held to.
Can you help us scale software we already have?
We review the current architecture, find what breaks first under load, and implement the change: more users, larger data volumes or new functionality. Sometimes the answer is a rewrite, and if so we will say that rather than bill you to postpone it.
How do you price work?
Fixed price where scope is genuinely fixed, time and materials where discovery will change it, and retainers for ongoing support. We will tell you which one fits your project and why.
What happens after the system goes live?
Maintenance, security updates and support continue under an agreed arrangement. Your team gets training and documentation at handover, so you are not dependent on us for day-to-day operation.
How do you handle data protection?
Deltacraft is registered with the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner as both a data controller and a data processor under the Data Protection Act, 2019. Which capacity applies depends on the engagement: when we host and run a system on your behalf we act as processor under your instructions, and the roles are set out in the agreement before any data moves.
Are you certified to work with government?
Yes. We are certified by the ICT Authority of Kenya to supply ICT services, which is what public bodies check during ICT procurement. Much of our existing work is with ministries, parastatals and county governments.
Formal standing
- ICTA certified
- Certified by the ICT Authority of Kenya to supply ICT services, including to government bodies.
- Data controller and data processor
- Registered with the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner in both capacities under the Data Protection Act, 2019.
