Our product portfolio has grown. SHOVIQ, our latest release, joins GolfDag and FirstInvoice: three focused platforms that help South African communities and businesses organise their work.
Each product addresses a different need, from managing an animal show to organising a golf day or sending a professional invoice. They share a practical purpose: bringing the details of a job together so people can spend less time on administration and more time on the work that matters.
SHOVIQ: every show, one beautifully simple platform
SHOVIQ is a complete show-management platform built for South African animal-show communities. Designed for horse, bird, dog and livestock shows, it connects administrators, secretaries, exhibitors and officials from the first entry to the final result.
The platform brings together:
- Online entries: select animals, enter classes, book extras and manage entries online.
- Animal Vault: save animal profiles, registration details and pedigrees for future entries.
- Show administration: configure shows, classes, eligibility rules, officials, documents and entry periods.
- Scheduling and logistics: manage rings, arenas, judges, class schedules, stabling and personal show-day timetables.
- Payments and finance: track entry invoices, EFT reconciliation, payment statuses and event publishing payments.
- Judging and results: prepare judging rosters, record placings and publish results through an auditable workflow.
Organisers can build and test a show in draft with no upfront cost. It is a way to prepare the event and explore the platform before publishing it.

GolfDag: bring your golf day together
GolfDag helps South African schools, charities, companies and clubs organise golf days from one platform. It gives organisers a public event page and a booking flow they can share with golfers and potential sponsors.
Organisers can:
- Present course details, event dates, pricing and sponsorship options on a professional event page.
- Capture individual golfers and four-ball teams through online bookings.
- Collect sponsorship enquiries for holes, prizes, banners and donations, ready for follow-up.
- Keep booking and payment statuses together.
- Share a booking link through email, WhatsApp and social channels.
The result is one place to bring event information, player bookings and organiser follow-up together.

FirstInvoice: professional invoicing, made simpler
FirstInvoice is built for South African small businesses, freelancers and sole proprietors who need to send professional invoices and keep track of payments.
It combines South African invoicing workflows with client management, VAT calculations, PDF generation, payment tracking and dashboard analytics. Businesses can keep contact details and billing history together, mark invoices as paid, partially paid or outstanding, and see an overview of revenue and amounts still due.
The focus is everyday invoicing: helping businesses manage the steps from preparing an invoice to following up on payment.
