Customer Success Stories
Mobile Payments (SoftPOS)
A South African fintech needed to modernise its SoftPOS platform after acquisition. AWS costs had grown to over R200k/month, instability slowed releases, and compliance complexity hindered scale.
Solution: Re-architected on Amazon ECS with Fargate, with CI/CD automation, ACM/KMS/Secrets Manager security, DexGuard app hardening, and an aggregator onboarding model.
Outcomes:
- •80% cost reduction (R200k → R40k/month)
- •Stronger stability and observability
- •Faster feature delivery with automated deployments
- •Smaller APKs, faster load times, and hardened runtime
- •PCI DSS compliance retained while enabling regional scale

Solution: Built a containerised microservices gateway on Amazon ECS with Fargate, supporting cards, EFT, QR, and wallets. Delivered merchant self-service and internal back-office portals. Security embedded with Cognito, API Gateway, Secrets Manager, KMS, IAM, and ACM.
Outcomes:
- •Full ownership of online payments stack
