Building in Africa, for Africa.

Software development

Web · Mobile · Desktop · APIs

Custom web, mobile, desktop and API systems built with Django, React, Flutter, Go and more.

Hitman Solutions is a custom software development company serving businesses in Harare, Johannesburg and across Africa. We design, build and ship production software end to end — web platforms, mobile apps, desktop tools and the APIs that connect them — with one senior, accountable team rather than a hand-off chain of juniors.

What we build

  • Web applications — customer portals, dashboards, booking and payment systems, internal tools, SaaS products.
  • Mobile apps — Android and iOS from a single Flutter or React Native codebase, plus native where it matters.
  • APIs & integrations — REST and GraphQL services, payment gateways, ERPs, and third-party integrations.
  • Desktop & back-office software — line-of-business tools that replace spreadsheets and manual work.

Our stack

We work primarily with Django and Python, React and Next.js on the front end, Flutter for cross-platform mobile, and Go for high-throughput services. We deploy on AWS, GCP and Azure with containers, infrastructure-as-code and CI/CD so your software ships reliably and runs cheaply.

How we work

Every engagement starts with a short discovery: we map the problem, agree scope, and give you an honest fixed estimate. You get working software in short iterations, code you own outright, and documentation — not a black box.

Why African businesses choose us

We understand local realities — intermittent connectivity, mobile-money and local payment rails, POPIA and the Zimbabwe Cyber & Data Protection Act — and we build for them. Whether you are a startup in Harare or an enterprise in Johannesburg, you get software that is fast, secure and maintainable.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to build custom software or an app?

It depends on scope, but a focused MVP typically starts in the low thousands of US dollars and a full platform scales from there. We give a clear, itemised estimate before any work begins.

Do you build for both web and mobile?

Yes. We routinely ship a web app and matching Android/iOS apps from a shared backend, so you get one consistent system across every device.

Who owns the code?

You do — fully, including the repositories and infrastructure.
