Johannesburg · South Africa
Pulsar Digital Solutions builds Unison — time & attendance, payroll and invoicing for South African businesses — and designs, builds and hosts custom websites, web apps and SaaS platforms.
Selected work
Our own platform, the apps around it, and the websites and web apps we have built and hosted for clients across South Africa. Screenshots are taken from the live sites.
Multi-tenant workforce & business SaaS
Time & attendance, payroll, invoicing and the rest of the back office in one platform. Every client is a tenant with its own database, and modules switch on as the business grows.
Unison Mobile
In testing · iOS & Android
Clock in and out with a map, check timesheets and payslips, capture expenses from a receipt photo, and raise quotes from a barcode scan. Same sign-in as Unison on the web.
Client project — built and hosted by Pulsar for the client
Invite-only meal ordering for companies. Employees pick a meal for each day of the week, companies subsidise it, and the kitchen gets the prep and billing reports.
Built and hosted by Pulsar
A mobile-first Afrikaans web app with a business directory, marketplace, specials, events calendar and job board. A native mobile app is in the works.
Client project — built and hosted by Pulsar
The Afrikaans online shop for a workshop that makes natural care products. Products, prices, photos and stock come straight from Unison, and paid orders flow back.
Client project — built and hosted by Pulsar
A luxury storefront and studio presentation for a hair brand, with a product catalogue, services, gallery and booking notifications by email.
Client project — built by Pulsar
The Afrikaans website of the Orania business chamber: a searchable member directory, events, gallery, newsletter and a public auction.
Client project — built by Pulsar
A bold website for a Muay Thai and fitness gym, with class information, fighter profiles and fight cards, and a clear path to book a free lesson.
In development
Preview coming when the storefront launches.
Client project — in development
An online store for a jeweller, built on the Unison e-commerce API so that stock, prices and orders stay in one place. Launching soon.
Live status
Our server checks every project's public address every five minutes and records whether it answered, and how fast. If one ever has a bad day, you will see it here.

Pulled from our own monitor, which requests each public site from the server and records the response time. Monchari is still in development and isn't monitored yet.
What we do
We are a small team that owns the whole stack — design, development, integrations and infrastructure — so nothing gets lost between suppliers.
Marketing sites and online shops with the composure of a flagship product — fast, accessible and easy for your team to update.
Operational tools your team will actually live in, plus iOS and Android apps that share the same back end.
Multi-tenant products built with the discipline we put into Unison: one login, shared records, modules that switch on as you grow.
We host what we build on our own infrastructure, monitor it around the clock, and stay on to maintain and improve it.
We map the real operation — the invoices, the clockings, the orders, the exceptions — before a pixel is placed.
Brand, architecture and interface are designed as one piece, so the system feels like one product.
Production software, not a prototype: permissions, integrations (PayFast, Yoco, Xero) and data that stay coherent.
After launch we host, monitor and look after it — the way a pulsar stays a pulsar. Precise. Recurring.
The company
A pulsar is a neutron star that rotates so steadily that astronomers use it as a clock. Pulsar Digital Solutions is built on that idea: software that keeps time for a whole operation — invoices, people, stock and sites — without scattering the signal.
Pulsar Digital Solutions (Pty) Ltd is a South African company owned and run by its directors, Tian Vortsman and Maryna Vortsman. We build, host and look after everything we ship.
