The software provider you'd build if you had the time.
South African businesses deserve tools that respect POPIA, run on local infrastructure, and come with support from humans who understand the market. That's what we built.
Hosted in South Africa
Every EchoPoint product runs on South African infrastructure. Your data stays here. No surprise moves to overseas regions, no "we'll be moving to AWS Frankfurt next quarter."
POPIA from the ground up
Privacy by design is built into every product — data minimisation, role-based access, retention policies, right-to-be-forgotten workflows, audit logs.
ECT Act advanced signatures
EchoSign produces signatures that satisfy the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act 25 of 2002 — court-admissible, with cryptographic audit trails.
A South African team
Support, engineering, sales — all in Pretoria. When you call, you get someone who understands load-shedding, SARS eFiling, and the difference between a VAT vendor and a non-vendor.
Pricing in Rand, billed in Rand
No USD billing that surprises you when the exchange rate moves. Transparent ZAR pricing across all products.
Built for the local market
SA ID number validation, SARS-friendly audit exports, all 11 official languages for OCR, WhatsApp-first notifications. We don't retrofit.
The difference between "hosted in SA" and "hosted somewhere with an SA sales office."
