Scaffolding & formwork hire
Every hire becomes a numbered job ticket carrying its own collection date, chased automatically by email — so kit comes back and the invoice goes out behind it.
Private-sector technology partner · South Africa
Hour Glass Solutions has been building and managing business systems since 2017 — our own software products, the connectivity underneath them, and the support that keeps both working.
Our software
Each one started as a real problem in a real South African business. Rented monthly, no setup fee, and your data stays yours.
Scaffolding & formwork hire
Every hire becomes a numbered job ticket carrying its own collection date, chased automatically by email — so kit comes back and the invoice goes out behind it.
Quoting, invoicing & VAT
Quotes, invoices, credit notes and statements in one flow, bank reconciliation without the spreadsheet, and a VAT report laid out the way SARS asks for it on the VAT201.
Bookings & the daily diary
Appointments, reminders and no-show tracking for businesses that run on a diary — clinics, salons, workshops and consultants. WhatsApp booking is in testing.
Quantity surveying & estimating
Take-off, rates, bills of quantity and BIM import in one workspace — the job a quantity surveyor would otherwise do across WinQS and a stack of spreadsheets, in a package priced for a South African practice.
Hardware & licensing
Business computers, networking equipment and software licensing, delivered nationwide — specified for lifecycle value rather than the cheapest line item. Opening soon; in the meantime we quote directly.
Asset tracking
Knowing what you own, where it is and what it is worth — equipment registers, assignments and depreciation. In build; not open for sign-up yet.
Services
Most clients start with one product or one problem. These are the things we take off their hands after that.
Fibre with an LTE backup line and the hardware to run it, so the business stays online when one connection goes down.
Purpose-built platforms that digitise workflows, approvals, reporting and customer operations.
Day-to-day support that keeps people working and systems healthy, with someone who answers.
Secure communication and collaboration environments, configured around how the business actually works.
Websites that load quickly, and the hosting, domains and SSL foundations underneath them.
Practical safeguards and backups that reduce risk without making the work harder for your people.
The right hardware and licences, chosen for what they cost to own over their life — not just to buy.
Supply, configuration and rollout of business computers, so new staff are working on day one.
Get in touch
A short conversation is usually enough to tell whether we can help, and we will say so if we cannot. No obligation and no sales sequence.
