What we do

Software first. Everything else supports it.

Two thirds of our work is building systems and web applications. The rest — hosting, design, training, infrastructure — exists so that the software we build actually runs well.

Core discipline

Custom Software & Systems Development

We design, build and maintain software that removes the manual work from your day. Every system is scoped against your real process first, then built to be secure, fast and easy for your staff to use.

  • Requirements workshop and written scope
  • Database design and system architecture
  • Role-based admin panels and user accounts
  • Reporting, analytics and printable documents
  • API development and third-party integration
Core discipline

Web Design & Development

Your website is usually the first thing a client checks before they call you. We build sites that load quickly, read well on a phone, and are easy for your own team to update.

  • UI/UX design and responsive layout
  • Static or fully dynamic development
  • Content management / admin panel
  • E-commerce, payments and order tracking
  • On-page SEO, sitemap and analytics setup

Mobile App Development

Cross-platform Android and iOS apps built with Flutter, sharing one backend with your web system.

Web Hosting & Domains

Reliable SSD hosting with cPanel, free SSL, professional email and a 99% uptime commitment.

Since 2021

“Empowering businesses through technology” is not a slogan we hang on the wall

It is the test we apply to every build: does this actually remove work from someone’s day? If a feature does not make the business faster, more accurate or better informed, it does not belong in the system.

Why Pearl Tech

Reasons clients stay with us

Six things that come up again and again when we ask clients why they chose us — and why they came back.

You talk to the developers

No account managers relaying messages. The person who understands your system is the person who answers.

Fixed scope, fixed price

A written scope and a firm quotation before work starts, so the budget you approve is the budget you pay.

On the ground in Kampala

We come to your premises, train your staff in person, and understand how business is actually done here.

Delivered when we said

Milestones agreed at the start, progress you can see each week, and honest warning if anything slips.

Security taken seriously

Prepared statements, hashed passwords, role-based access, encrypted transport and tested backups — as standard, not as an upsell.

Priced for this market

Enterprise-grade engineering at rates that make sense for a Ugandan SME.

How we work

A process designed so nothing is a surprise

You know the scope, the price and the date before development starts, and you see working software throughout — not only at the end.

01

Discover

We sit with the people who will use the system and map how the work actually happens today — including the parts that only live in someone’s head.

02

Scope

You get a written scope, a module list, a timeline and a fixed price before any development starts. No surprises halfway through.

03

Design

Screens and data models are designed and reviewed with you, so you see the system before it is expensive to change.

04

Build

Development in short cycles with something working to look at each time, rather than a long silence and a big reveal.

05

Deploy

Data migration, deployment, and training your staff on the live system with their own records in it.

06

Support

A maintenance plan for updates, backups, monitoring and the improvements that always follow go-live.

Industries

Sectors we know well

We have shipped systems in each of these, so we arrive already understanding the vocabulary and the awkward edge cases.

Retail & wholesale

POS, stock control and multi-branch reporting.

SACCOs & microfinance

Member savings, loan books and statutory reporting.

Education

School management, fees, results and parent communication.

Health

Patient records, pharmacy stock and billing.

Corporate & NGO

Websites, intranets, HR and document workflow.

Logistics & fleet

Deliveries, dispatch, maintenance and asset tracking.

Hospitality

Restaurant orders, bookings and inventory.

Real estate

Property, tenant and rent collection systems.

In their words

What clients say

We would rather you heard it from the people running the businesses than from us.

See the work behind it
The POS system changed how we run the shop. Stock finally matches what is on the shelf, and I can see the day’s sales from my phone before I get home.
Muwanguzi Daniel Business Owner
They took the time to understand how we work before building anything. The system fits our process instead of forcing us to change it, and support has been quick every time we have needed it.

FAQ

Questions we are asked most

If yours is not here, ask us directly — we answer honestly, including when the answer is “that is not the right solution for you”.

Ask a question

We are a software company. We build custom business systems and websites, and we sell three of our own products — pearlPOS, PearlSACCO and PearlSchool. Around that we offer hosting, mobile apps, graphics design, maintenance, systems administration and IT training.

It depends on the modules, users and integrations involved. Websites start at about $140; custom systems and our products are quoted after a short scoping conversation. Every quotation is written and fixed before work begins.

A website typically takes 2–4 weeks. A focused system such as a POS runs 4–8 weeks. Larger platforms run 3–6 months, delivered in phases so useful parts go live early.

On custom projects, yes — source code and database are handed over on final payment. Our own products (pearlPOS, PearlSACCO, PearlSchool) are licensed to you, and your data is always yours to export.

Yes, and most clients do. Every deployment is configured to your structure, and we build additional modules where a business genuinely needs something different.

We train your staff, stay close during the first weeks, and offer monthly maintenance plans covering updates, backups, monitoring and a pool of change hours.

Usually. We start with a paid code and security audit, then advise honestly on whether to maintain, improve or replace it.

We are based in Kireka, Kampala. We work with clients across Uganda and remotely beyond it — most of our systems are delivered and supported online.
