Platform engineering and solutions architecture

Cloud and front-end platforms for operational businesses.

Taigency designs and builds the platforms that field teams, sales organisations and event operations run on. We lead with architecture, and we deliver the interface, the data layer and the integrations as one coherent system.

Capabilities

Architecture through to operation.


Five disciplines, delivered by one accountable team. We take responsibility for the design and for the working system.

01

Solutions architecture

We translate operating requirements into a platform design that can be built, secured and run: domain model, role model, integration boundaries, data flows and hosting topology.

  • Reference architectures and technical due diligence
  • Role-based access and tenancy design
  • Build-versus-integrate decisions with a documented rationale
02

Platform engineering

We build multi-user business platforms end to end, from the data layer to the interface, with the controls and audit trail that operational software requires.

  • Multi-tenant and multi-role web platforms
  • Subscription and usage billing
  • Environments, release process and observability
03

Cloud and data

Managed Postgres and serverless edge hosting, configured for resilience, cost control and responsible handling of personal information.

  • Supabase and Postgres with row-level security
  • Vercel edge and serverless hosting
  • POPIA-aware data handling and retention design
04

Front-end and user experience

Interfaces that field staff, managers and executives can use without training, designed mobile-first and delivered as installable web applications.

  • Next.js and React application front ends
  • Mobile-first progressive web apps
  • Accessible, performance-budgeted interfaces
05

Integration and automation

We connect the platform to the systems around it and automate the repetitive work, with a person approving any step that carries risk.

  • APIs, webhooks and system integrations
  • Paystack and Stripe payment flows
  • AI agents and workflow automation with human approval
Platforms and products

A portfolio of operating platforms.


Each platform below is part of the Taigency portfolio. Together they are the working reference for the architecture and engineering we bring to client engagements.

Workforce operations

FieldForce

A platform for field teams and security workforces. Work is quoted, assigned, captured on a phone, invoiced and paid within one system, with distinct access for office staff, supervisors and field personnel.

Next.jsSupabasePaystackRole-based accessPWA
Sales performance management

Command Centre

A sales-representative performance and management platform. Managers see activity, pipeline and targets as they happen; representatives work from a mobile-first interface with verified visit capture.

Sector variants are available for FMCG and liquor distribution, and for mining and industrial sales teams.

Corporate events

TeamForge

A team-building platform that combines digital games, onsite activations and a managed path from quotation to event day for corporate programmes.

Event operations

EventForge

An event operations platform that brings quoting, crew, inventory, ticketing and logistics into one workspace, with payment and communication workflows built in.

AI front office

SmartAlex

An AI receptionist that answers, qualifies and books across voice and messaging. Taigency designs the knowledge base, business rules and system integrations, and keeps a person in control of what the agent may do.

AI agentsVoice and messagingCRM integrationPOPIA-aware
Executive dashboards

MAC dashboards

Mind and Action Centre dashboards that turn leads, inbox and calendar into a prioritised daily action list. AI routines prepare the work; every outbound message is approved by a person before it is sent.

Industries

Sectors where operations depend on software.


Financial services

Sales, advice and distribution teams that need performance visibility, activity records and controlled access to client information.

FMCG and distribution

Route-to-market and field-sales operations that depend on visit discipline, outlet coverage and timely manager insight.

Mining and industrial

Site, contractor and supplier-facing sales and service operations, with role separation and an auditable record of activity.

Events

Quoting, crewing, ticketing and on-the-day logistics for corporate and consumer events.

Security

Workforce scheduling, site activity and supervisor oversight for guarding and security service providers.

How we work

A defined path from requirement to run.


01

Discovery

We establish the operating context: users, processes, data, systems and constraints. The output is a written brief that states what the platform must achieve.

02

Architecture

We design the solution: data model, roles and permissions, integrations, hosting and security posture. Key decisions are documented and agreed before build.

03

Build

We deliver in working increments on preview environments, so progress is visible and testable. Releases are repeatable and reversible.

04

Run

We operate and improve the platform after launch: monitoring, support, change management and a scheduled review of performance and cost.

Technology

A deliberately modern, maintainable stack.


We standardise on proven components so that the platforms we deliver are secure, portable and straightforward for your own team to take over.

About

Tiaan Jordaan

Founder, Taigency

Tiaan founded Taigency after 25 years in technology, almost ten of them as Chief Technology Officer at Selektron. He leads the architecture of every engagement and remains accountable for delivery.

The practice is deliberately small. Clients deal directly with the person who designs the system, and the platforms in this portfolio are the product of that discipline.
