The product
Your whole business, in one connected system.
IBIS brings operations, finance, people, growth and community into a single login — deep insights and efficient workflows in one place, with no silos and no double capture. So however stretched you are, you can handle whatever the day brings: turn on what you use today, and the rest is there when you grow.
One action updates the whole business.
Issue an invoice and it posts to your general ledger, clears what you're owed, draws down stock, and moves your cash-flow and goals — all at once. Because everything is connected, you stop re-typing and start seeing.
Five connected areas, one login.
Operations
Run the day-to-day.
The operational heart of the business — everything you touch between winning the work and getting paid.
- Clients & contacts in a simple CRM

- Multi-currency invoices and PDF documents (ZAR, USD, EUR)
- Inventory and stock levels, with low-stock alerts
- Goals tied to your real numbers, not a wish list
Finance
Books that keep themselves.
Real accounting, posted automatically as you work — so your books are already right when someone finally asks for them.

Community
You're not doing this alone.
Because real impact needs people around you — your own team, owners on the same road, and the standards of your field.

For the people who'll ask for proof
Built to standards they'll trust — and can check.
A client's procurement team, a bank, a funder, your own accountant one day: hand your books to a professional and they'll find the depth they expect — not a toy.
- Append-only double-entry ledger — nothing silently edited
- Financial statements that tie out, with a balanced check
- Multi-currency with automatic FX gain/loss
- SARS-aligned PAYE, UIF & SDL payroll
- Back-dated invoices, partial payments and bank reconciliation
- Bulk import and one-click export of everything
- A hash-chained, tamper-evident trail under every statutory figure
- Imported rows that keep a visible note of where they came from
Every statutory document IBIS produces carries a verification code, so whoever is holding it can confirm what we issued without an account and without going through you. Try the public check.
The "Intelligence" in IBIS
It doesn't just record your business. It helps you read it.
The “Intelligence” in IBIS is systems thinking. Because every part is connected, IBIS can read your business as a whole and tell you, in plain language, what each part is saying — and the one move that fits the kind of problem you're actually in.
- See the system — connected modules make hidden patterns visible.
- Read each part — a plain reading for cash, sales, stock, people and more.
- Respond by type — clear, complicated, complex or chaotic — the right move for each.
- See how you compare — anonymised, k-safe benchmarks show how you stack up against similar businesses — developmental, never a league table.
- Free by default — the mechanical insight costs nothing; AI is opt-in and metered.
Built for the way South Africa does business.
Not a global tool with a rand sign bolted on — 15% VAT, SARS payroll, ZAR, Yoco and POPIA are built in, in South African English.
And using it well pays most of it back.
The whole system, unlimited users, one company price from R300 a month — with up to R240 back every month you're genuinely active. Stepped only by payroll headcount, never per seat.
