Six systems. Pick the one that fixes your bottleneck.
Start with a diagnostic or go straight to the build. Every system runs on infrastructure you own.
This is a custom-built system on infrastructure you own — not a monthly software subscription you rent.
Find where the leads are leaking, in two days.
A fast, focused diagnostic on how enquiries reach you and where they die. You get a written findings report and a prioritised fix list within 48 hours.
Credited in full toward any build.
Reactivate the enquiries you already paid for.
Automated follow-up across WhatsApp and email that works old and cold enquiries back into the pipeline, without anyone remembering to chase.
Every lead answered in under two minutes, 24/7.
The core infrastructure build. A custom Make / Airtable / OpenAI stack that pulls WhatsApp, website forms and Google Ads into one flow — qualified, routed and booked without you touching it.
POPIA-Aligned · Load-Shedding Resilient Cloud Infrastructure
Reorder before the sale is lost, not after.
Live stock visibility with automated reorder triggers, supplier prompts and low-stock alerts for wholesalers, distributors, retail stores and showrooms.
Launch with the systems already in place.
For new businesses. Lead capture, follow-up, booking and basic operations set up from day one, so you never build the manual habits you'd have to undo later.
A complete operating system for the business.
The full rebuild. Leads, follow-up, quoting, booking, inventory and reporting connected into one system you own outright, rolled out in phases.
Complex or multi-system build? Pricing redesigns, operational restructures, pipeline architecture — scoped individually.

Built by an operator.
Not a developer.
AP Consulting was founded by an operator with a background in finance, operations and business development — not a software engineer. That matters. The starting question isn't "what can we build?" It's "where is the business actually losing money?"
The tools are a means to an end. The end is a business that runs without the owner in every conversation.
This isn't a people problem. It's a systems problem.
Slow replies aren't a small leak. They are the leak.
Indicative industry figures. Results vary by business, sector and market conditions.
Three things that make this different.
We start with your P&L and your calendar, not a feature list. If it doesn't move revenue or free your time, it doesn't get built.
Some things shouldn't be automated. Knowing which is the whole job.
You leave with a working system in production — not a slide deck and a to-do list.
How it works.
A short call to understand the business, the bottlenecks, and whether we're the right fit.
We map your current flow, identify leverage points, and return a proposal with fixed price and timeline.
We build, integrate with your existing tools, and test end-to-end against real scenarios.
Go live, train your team, and hand over the build. You own the system outright.
Fixed scope. Fixed price.
Your scope is agreed in writing before work starts, and the price doesn't move. If the system isn't delivered to that scope, you don't pay for it.
Built for how business actually works here.
POPIA-Aligned by Design
Every system is built with South African data protection requirements in mind — lawful consent capture, defined data retention, and client-controlled storage.
Customer data stays in systems the client owns and can audit.
Load-Shedding Resilient
Systems run in the cloud and operate asynchronously, so lead capture, qualification and booking keep working when the power at the office doesn't.
Nothing depends on a machine sitting in the corner of an office.
WhatsApp-First
Most South African customers enquire on WhatsApp, so that is where the system meets them — capture, qualification, quoting and booking all happen in the channel your customers already use.
No new app to download. No behaviour to retrain.
POPIA alignment describes how systems are designed and configured. It is not legal advice or a certification.
Your information is handled properly.
We treat customer data like an operational asset — not a commodity. Here is how we approach consent, retention, and protection.
Lawful consent
We only collect what we need to follow up on your enquiry. You choose how we contact you — and you can ask us to delete your details at any time.
Defined retention
Your information is kept only for as long as it is needed for your enquiry or any work we agree to. After that, it is securely removed.
Protected data
Customer data is stored in systems you own and control, with access limited to what each role needs. POPIA principles are built in from day one.
We don't sell, share, or re-market your data. This is part of how we design systems with POPIA requirements in mind. It is not legal advice or a certification.
Come prepared. Leave with clarity.
