Codehesion builds custom software for SA's insure-tech firms

The Cape Town company offers a free consultation and takes on whole projects, single tasks or extra hands for existing teams.

South African insure-tech companies looking for custom software can now work with a local development partner that says it has already done the job for the leaders in their field.

Codehesion builds bespoke software for South Africa’s top insure-tech firms, and says it has helped them sharpen their operations and cut out inefficiency. The work is done by people it selects carefully, and the company says that is why the quality holds up.

Three ways to work with the team

Codehesion offers three ways of working. A client can hand over an entire app or software project and let the company run it from start to finish. A client can bring in Codehesion’s specialists for one specific development task. Or a client can add Codehesion’s people to its own software team to increase capacity.

The company says the process is simple and that it will make it easy for an insure-tech business to get started. It begins with a free consultation, in which Codehesion assesses what the client needs and gives its own view of the work that will be required.

After that, it provides a breakdown of the expected timelines and the expected costs. That gives a client the information it needs to decide whether to go ahead.

The company says it delivers strong results and a quick turnaround, whatever the project and whoever the client is.

Why a local partner matters for insure-tech

Insurance technology is a sector where the software is the product. A policy platform, a claims workflow or a broker portal is not a side project for an insurer, it is how the business reaches its customers and how it pays them. Building that software badly is expensive twice, once when it is built and again when it has to be rebuilt.

That is the gap Codehesion is selling into. South African insure-tech firms compete for the same customers as global players, and they do it under local rules, local payment rails and local data conditions. A development partner that works in this market every day, rather than one that flies in for a project, is a practical advantage.

Codehesion’s pitch rests on two claims. The first is that it hires only the most talented and qualified professionals, across software engineering, development, design, maintenance, project management and training. The second is that the result is world-class quality.

The company says it is excited to work with insure-tech businesses and that it will make the whole process simple.

What the company offers

For a South African insure-tech firm weighing up a build, the offer has a clear shape.

A free consultation comes first, with no cost attached. Codehesion then assesses the client’s needs and provides its own insight into the work required. A breakdown of predicted timelines and expected costs follows. The client then decides.

From there, the project can be a full build, a single task, or extra capacity for an existing team. Codehesion says it guarantees excellent results and a fast turnaround on any of the three.

The company is inviting prospective clients to contact it for a risk-free consultation.

For a sector that lives on the quality of its code, the value of a local partner that will sit down first and quote before it builds is straightforward. The consultation costs nothing, and it gives an insure-tech business a second opinion on its own plans before it commits a budget.
