AI, Cloud & WhatsApp-first Digital Services for South African Organisations
CloudNala helps enterprises, public sector institutions, growing businesses and technology partners turn slow manual processes and ageing systems into digital services people will actually use — on Azure, AWS, Google Cloud or your own servers, whichever genuinely suits your situation.
Eight services. Each solves a problem you can name.
Every one is built around something South African organisations are actually stuck on. We advise, design, and build — we do not stop at the recommendation.
CloudNala is a verified Microsoft Partner Center organisation.
AI App & Agent Discovery
Find out what is worth building — before you spend on it.
We work through where AI could genuinely help your organisation, whether your data is in good enough shape to support it, what could go wrong, and what a realistic first version looks like. You get a straight answer on what is worth funding — including the ideas we think you should drop.
What you get
A ranked shortlist of AI ideas, most valuable first
A design and delivery plan for the first working version
An honest assessment of your data, plus the risk and governance issues to settle first
A recommendation on which cloud platform fits (Azure, AWS or Google Cloud)
AI MVP Build Sprints
Something real to use in weeks, not months.
We build a working first version — a real system your people can use, not a slide deck or a demo video. The point is to prove the value quickly, and to build it on foundations solid enough to keep and grow rather than throw away.
What you get
A working first version your team can actually use
Hosted on the platform that suits you — Azure, AWS, Google Cloud or your own servers
Secure log-in, with staff seeing only what their role allows
Written handover documentation and a clear plan for what comes next
Tender, RFQ & Compliance Automation
Less paperwork. More winning work.
Finding the right tenders, pulling the compliance documents together, and writing the response eats days of senior time. We automate the repetitive parts so your team spends its hours on the bids you can actually win.
A repeatable process for finding and responding to tenders and quotes
Automated compliance checks, so nothing disqualifies you on a technicality
AI-drafted first responses your team edits rather than writes from scratch
Help getting your supplier documents and accreditations in order
WhatsApp-First Workflow Automation
No app download required.
Your staff, drivers, and customers already use WhatsApp every day. We move everyday processes onto it, so people can do the task in a chat they already know — no new app to install, no training course, no password nobody remembers.
Use cases
Fleet fuel and trip trackingPayroll and payslip workflowsLease and document generationClinic or citizen service triageEvent ticketing and attendance
What you get
A working process that runs inside WhatsApp
A simple dashboard for whoever manages it
Automatic PDFs and documents where you need them
Reminders, notifications, and a record of who did what and when
Cloud Modernisation & AI-Ready Infrastructure
Retire what is holding you back. Build for what is next.
Old systems get expensive to run, hard to hire for, and risky to change. We move them to the cloud in stages that keep the business running, and set up secure, well-governed foundations that later AI and data work can be built on. Works on Azure, AWS, Google Cloud, or a mix with your own servers.
What you get
A secure, well-structured cloud foundation to build on (Azure, AWS or Google Cloud)
A staged plan for moving or replacing existing systems
A design for how your systems talk to each other
Security controls, monitoring, and spend limits set up from day one
Developer Productivity & AI Coding Tools
Help your engineering team ship faster, safely.
For technical leaders: we help your engineers get real, measurable value from AI coding assistants such as GitHub Copilot and Amazon Q Developer, and put the automated build, test and release pipelines behind them. The result is faster delivery without loosening security or quality standards.
What you get
Hands-on workshops to get AI coding tools genuinely adopted, not just licensed
Automated build, test and release pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI or Azure Pipelines)
Secure source control, code review and branching standards
Automation of the repetitive parts of the developer workflow
Standardised development environments, so new engineers are productive on day one
Public Sector Digital Services
From approved strategy to a service citizens can actually use.
Many public sector digital strategies never become a working service. We help departments, municipalities and public entities close that gap — designing services around how citizens actually use them, meeting POPIA and data sovereignty obligations, and documenting the work to the standard your audit, procurement and oversight processes require.
Examples
Citizen service portalsProvincial dashboardsIncident reportingeTender and eRecruitment accessibilityAI chatbotsDepartmental service catalogues
What you get
Discovery and service design grounded in real citizen journeys
A design and delivery plan for a first working service
A built and tested portal or dashboard
Documentation that stands up to audit, procurement and handover
Cloud Cost, Security & Governance Audit
Know what you are spending. Know what is exposed.
We review your cloud environment and report back in plain terms: where money is being wasted, where you are exposed, and what to fix first. Findings are written so the board can act on them and the engineering team knows exactly what to do.
