Java & Spring Boot
Enterprise applications built on Spring Boot and the Spring Framework, the backbone of every system we run in production.
Simple solutions for complicated problems
We build the Java and Spring Boot systems Zambian organisations run on, then integrate them with everything else you already use. Financial technology is where we go deepest: village banking, payroll and PAYE, expense control.

01 / About
Engineering that earns its keep
Based in Lusaka, we turn complicated business problems into software that is quiet, fast and dependable. We work across the whole stack, with enterprise Java on the inside and considered web interfaces on the outside, and we stay after launch to keep it running.
-
01
Precision
We build exactly what the problem needs. No speculative complexity, no framework for its own sake, nothing you have to pay to maintain later.
-
02
Partnership
We work alongside your team rather than over it, sharing decisions, documenting as we go, and leaving you able to run what we built.
-
03
Longevity
Systems we shipped years ago are still in daily use. We choose boring, proven technology and write code the next engineer can read.
02 / Capabilities
From the database up to the browser
Six disciplines, one team. Most engagements combine several: a Spring Boot service, the integrations that feed it, the database that carries it, and an interface that makes it usable.
System Integration
Connecting the software you already depend on, so data stops being re-typed between systems that were never meant to talk.
Database Engineering
Schema design, query tuning and migrations for the three engines we know deeply, measured before and after, never guessed.
Web Applications
Fast, accessible, responsive interfaces that work on the connections and devices your users actually have.
Financial Technology
Where we go deepest: savings groups, payroll, statutory deductions and expense control, built for Zambian rules and Zambian realities.
Deployment & Support
We stay after launch, deploying, monitoring and maintaining the systems we build, with agreed response times.
03 / Products
Software we built and still run
Four products in daily production use. Two of them, the Village Banking System and the Net Pay Calculator, are our flagships, and each has its own page.
eLucive product
Village Banking System
Run a savings group without a single paper ledger
Comprehensive village banking and microfinance management for community savings groups, SACCOs and microfinance institutions across Zambia and the wider region.
eLucive product
Net Pay Calculator
What actually lands in the account, worked out properly
Zambia's straightforward salary calculator for PAYE, NAPSA and net pay, used by HR teams and employees who need the number to be right.
eLucive product
Payroll & HR
The whole company's pay, worked out the way one payslip is
Payroll and HR for Zambian companies, installed on your own server. Every employee, every month, with the payslips, statutory returns and approval trail that have to follow.
Live — not a screenshot
Work out a Zambian payslip, here, now
Type a salary. PAYE is computed band by band on gross, NAPSA at 5% capped, NHIMA at 1% of basic. Three different bases, which is exactly why a single “gross × percentage” loop gets two of them wrong.

PAYE, band by band — each rate applies only to the income inside its own band
Gross
K12,000.00
PAYE on gross, not gross less NAPSA
−K2,066.00
NAPSA 5% of gross, capped
−K600.00
NHIMA 1% of basic, not gross
−K120.00
NAPSA has hit its monthly ceiling of K1221.80, so it stops growing with the salary.
Net pay
K9,214.00
Effective tax rate 17.2%, against a 37% headline band.
Rates effective 2026. Monthly figures. PAYE bands and the NHIMA base are as described in our own writing on Zambian payroll; confirm the NAPSA ceiling against the current NAPSA notice before relying on it.
Zambia Election Tracker
A public, fast-loading tracker for Zambian election results, built to stay up under the traffic that election night brings.
“We focus on financial applications, but we're not limited to what we can achieve. Every project is an opportunity to create something exceptional.”

04 / Process
A short path from problem to production
No discovery theatre and no six-week proposal. We learn the problem, agree the smallest useful first release, and ship it.
-
01
Understand
We sit with the people who do the work today and learn where the current process actually hurts.
-
02
Scope
We agree the smallest release that is genuinely useful, with a fixed price and a date attached.
-
03
Build
Short cycles with something running to look at throughout, so course corrections are cheap.
-
04
Deploy
We deploy, migrate the data, train the team, and hand over documentation you can actually use.
-
05
Support
We stay on to maintain, monitor and extend it, under an agreement with real response times.
