About Softmobi

Builders of our own products. Trusted partners on yours.

Softmobi (Pty) Ltd is a Johannesburg based software company founded by Lead Solutions Architect Edwin Mkhabele. We do two kinds of work under one roof: we design and own a portfolio of software products, and we architect and deliver custom enterprise systems for clients across South Africa.

Every system we ship is built around role based access, auditable records and clear reporting, so the people responsible for decisions can always show what happened, who did it and why.

Governance first

Audit trails, approvals and evidence are designed in from day one, aligned to PFMA and POPIA.

Traceable delivery

Every requirement and user story is mapped to the code that delivers it and the test that proves it.

Practical AI

AI that supports people with analysis and drafts, while a person always confirms the outcome.
