The Problem We Solve
When the problem outgrows the team
Most organisations hit a wall. The internal team is at capacity. The agency gives you a junior account manager. The freelancer only does one thing. You need someone who's been inside complex systems before — and can own the whole thing.
01
You've outgrown off-the-shelf
Your stack is fragmented, your tools don't talk to each other, and no one can see the full picture. You need architecture, not another plugin recommendation.
02
The brief keeps growing
You won a contract — or have a product to build — that touches tech, design, content, and production simultaneously. One vendor for all of it doesn't seem to exist.
03
You need a CTO but can't justify the hire
A senior technical director costs £130–200k/year in salary alone. You need the decisions, the accountability, and the execution — without the headcount.
04
You're an agency with a gap
You win the brief. Then you hit XR, AI integration, blockchain, or motion capture and need a specialist partner who can white-label seamlessly inside your delivery.
Engagements
Three ways
to engage
Every engagement is run directly by Jacques Artgraven — no account managers, no brief relay. You get one senior point of contact who understands your problem end-to-end and owns the outcome.

Utility / Enterprise — South Africa
Eskom
When Microsoft CRM couldn't do what the IDM department actually needed
Eskom's Identity Management department was running on an off-the-shelf CRM that couldn't map to their actual workflows. We migrated the entire use case into a custom bespoke solution — built around how their team actually operated, not how the software assumed they did. Delivered at utility scale.

Automotive — South Africa
AutoKorea
A full ERP from scratch for a specialist importer

How It Works
Straight to the work
01
Discovery Call
30 minutes. You explain the problem, the context, and what you've already tried. Jacques tells you honestly whether we're the right fit — and if so, what the engagement looks like.
02
Scope & Proposal
Within 48 hours, you receive a clear scope document — what we'll do, what it costs, what we need from you, and when it starts. No ambiguity.
03
Embedded & Running
Week one: Jacques is in your systems, your channels, and your team rhythm. We run on weekly sprints with transparent reporting — you always know where things are.
04
Adjust & Scale
Every month we review the engagement together. Scale up, scale down, shift focus — the engagement adapts to what the business actually needs, not what we assumed at the start.
