Coetzee Data AI Consultants is a product studio that designs, builds and deploys digital platforms and AI-powered software — from quick-service restaurant ordering systems to civic-tech and community apps. Every project here is something we actually built and put live.
A consultancy is only as good as what it has shipped. Here's a slice of the products built under Coetzee Data AI — live demos, deployed sites and proprietary IP.
A white-label ordering platform built for South African QSR chains. Customers order and pay online, the kitchen gets a live ticket, and orders are collected at the counter — every transaction captured as data. Demo app, landing page and pitch deck all built in-house.
Visit prontogo.co.za →A real-time restaurant SaaS built from scratch. Diners scan a QR code, order and pay — no app download — while the kitchen screen updates live. PayFast-integrated with an automated platform fee and a mission-control superadmin dashboard across every restaurant.
View live demo →A civic-tech app that lets residents pin and classify potholes on a live map by GPS or memory. Firebase-backed with clustering, a rotating ad system, multi-currency payments routed by location, and an admin dashboard — deployed to web and Android.
View live app →A sister app to Pothole Patrol on the same civic-tech architecture — letting residents report and track waste-collection issues on a live map. Built once as a template, it proves the platform model: the marginal cost of the next deployment is configuration, not a rebuild.
View live app →A church management app covering member profiles, announcements, a prayer wall and an admin dashboard. Brought from an early FlutterFlow + Firebase start to a complete, demonstrable prototype — paired with a promo reel cut programmatically with ffmpeg.
View live demo →One studio that handles the whole arc — strategy, design, engineering, payments and launch — without handing you off between vendors.
Web and mobile apps built end to end — front end, real-time backends, payment integration and deployment. The kind of work behind Pronto, TableFlow and Pothole Patrol.
Bringing AI into real products and workflows in a way that earns its place — practical automation and intelligence layered onto software people actually use, not novelty for its own sake.
Reusable platforms built once and licensed or sold outright. We develop proprietary IP, scope it properly, and structure the commercial terms — licence by default, transfer only by separate agreement.
Every engagement is documented, milestone-based and priced up front. No surprises, no vague hand-waving — just a plan you can sign and a thing that gets built.
We map the work into milestones with a fixed quotation and timeline before a line of code is written.
Interfaces designed for the people who use them, on a backend built to scale — shown to you as it takes shape.
Payments, data and the moving parts wired together and tested against the real flow, not a happy path.
Deployed live with a licence to use the work — and a clean route to extend it in the phases that follow.
Gerhard founded Coetzee Data AI Consultants to do something simple and rare: build the product, write the strategy, and pitch it — all under one roof. He's the developer who ships the code and the consultant who walks into the room. The result is software with a point of view, scoped honestly and built to be used. Outside the studio, he's a creative who has even written and produced a protest song about the country's roads — the same maker's instinct, pointed somewhere different.
Whether it's a platform to launch, an AI idea to test, or IP you want scoped and sold — let's talk about the real version of it.
