Northbound IT

We build websites and AI automation for service businesses in Pretoria.

Every lead captured.

Every client followed up.

Everything in one place.

What we do, in plain terms.

[ What we build ]

We build simple WhatsApp-first systems that capture every lead, follow up automatically, onboard your clients, and track what they think, all visible in one place.

[ How it starts ]

One call and a week of watching your numbers, that's all it takes to start. No new software for your team to learn, nothing to install, nothing changes until you say go. Your systems, your data. One build, measured in rand recovered.

[ Who we work with ]

Local service businesses of every kind, especially salons & beauty businesses, fitness coaches, and small law firms.

[ About Us ]

We're Sabelo and Warren, based in Pretoria. We started this because we watched good business owners drown in DMs and diaries, losing leads they never saw and hearing about problems only in reviews, while agencies sold them 'AI strategies' instead of clarity.

We build the system your business actually needs, we make everything visible to you, and we stay reachable long after the build.

[ Our Services ]

What we build

From the first missed enquiry to the last client review. One system, one view.

[ Websites ]

Built to win you business, not just to look good.

From a single landing page to a full online store, designed, written and launched by the same team, and easy to update without calling anyone.

  1. A single, focused page built to turn visitors into enquiries. Ideal for launches, promotions and ads.

    Landing Pages

    Campaigns
  2. A clean, professional home for your business: who you are, what you do, and why customers should call you first.

    Business Sites

    Your shopfront
  3. A store that's easy to browse and easy to buy from, with payments, stock and orders handled for you.

    E-commerce

    Sell online
  4. Tools your team signs into: bookings, portals, quoting, admin. Built around how you already work.

    Web Apps

    Custom tools
[ AI & Automation ]

Give the repetitive work to software.

We find the hours your team loses to admin and hand them to systems that never forget a step, so people can do the work only people can do.

  1. Assistants that answer customer questions, qualify leads and book appointments, including after hours.

    AI Assistants & Chatbots

    Always on
  2. Invoices, follow-ups, approvals and data entry handled automatically, the same way every time.

    Workflow Automation

    Less admin
  3. Sales, costs and operations in one live view, so decisions stop waiting on spreadsheets.

    Reporting Dashboards

    Clear numbers
  4. The software you already pay for, finally talking to each other. Nothing retyped, nothing lost between apps.

    System Integrations

    Connected

Right now, your leads live in three inboxes, your bookings live in someone's head, and the first time you hear a client was unhappy is a one-star review. You're not bad at business, you just can't see it all. That's what we fix.

[ After the Build ]

We stay with you.

The build going live isn't the end. It's the start. You'll have access to us for as long as you need us: a real person on WhatsApp, not a ticket queue.

And for businesses that want their system actively looked after, our upkeep retainer covers three things:

  • [ It keeps running ]

    We monitor it and fix breaks before you notice.

  • [ It keeps improving ]

    Tweaks, new sequences, seasonal campaigns.

  • [ It keeps reporting ]

    Your monthly one-pager of what it did, in rand.

Month to month. Your accounts stay yours either way.

We measure what you're losing before we build, so you'll see exactly what came back.
