SIVOXI®

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the director of PayDay, an employee financial wellness platform centered around earned wage access (EWA), financial literacy, and everyday rewards.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with SIVOXI®?

We needed to build a secure, ISO 27001-compliant fintech platform that delivered real-time EWA. Key objectives included integrating payroll providers for syncing, embedding PayShap for instant bank payouts, and developing a custom LMS to incentivize financial literacy. We also needed an app on iOS and Android that allowed for a user-friendly experience with a visually appealing UI.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

SIVOXI®’s cross-functional teams engineered an ISO 27001-certified end-to-end fintech platform. Their scope of work included mobile app development, web portal development, backend architecture, integrations, and infrastructure. They built cross-platform iOS and Android apps using Flutter. Features included real-time available wage tracking, a custom-developed financial literacy LMS with tier-progression logic, and a utility marketplace powered by multiple vendor APIs.They also developed two distinct ReactJS portals: an employer portal for database management and payroll reporting and an operations portal for system administration and analytics. The team built a high-performance Node.js backend with a MySQL database to process high-volume financial data securely.Moreover, they established real-time syncing APIs with payroll engines (e.g., Sage 300, Simplepay) and integrated the PayShap API via Standard Bank for instant payouts. The entire ecosystem was hosted on AWS and was ISO 27001 certified.

What is the team composition?

We worked with around 10 SIVOXI® teammates, but I believe there were more members handling the project on the backend.

How did you come to work with SIVOXI®?

We found them through a referral. We chose them over other options because they had high ratings, their pricing fit our budget, they had a great culture fit, they offered good value for the cost, and their company values aligned with ours.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent around $500 000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together from April 2025 –May 2026. We also have an ongoing service order.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

We achieved 100% real-time payroll data sync accuracy with payroll providers. We also cut employee earned wage payout times from days to under seconds via the PayShap API. Moreover, we secured compliance with ISO 27001 standards while driving a significant app adoption rate across registered employer databases. We onboarded 5,000+ users, and 20%–30% of users moved a single tier in the LMS in a month.

How did SIVOXI® perform from a project management standpoint?

They had a fantastic push to deliver exactly what we asked for in the expected time. We mainly communicated through virtual meetings.

What did you find most impressive about them?

We were impressed with their customer support, clear communication, honest pricing, and the quality of the product they delivered. We believe this to be a great concept that is now a great app, and our clients agree that this is a better product than what they’ve seen from established competitors.

Are there any areas they could improve?

There wasn’t anything they could have done better.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.

The stages of the project included a research and design phase (which included wireframing and high-fidelity mockups), once this phase was complete, the project moved into development, quality assurance and testing, and finally deployment of the website onto our server.

How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

We found it very easy to communicate with all team members and were provided with frequent updates about the progress of the project. We had both in-person meetings and phone calls, but most feedback was provided via Basecamp (a project management software tool).

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

The SIVOXI® team is dependable and professional. This was important for us. Additionally, we had very strict requirements regarding how the promotional website had to be structured and presented. In spite of all the constraints, the SIVOXI team managed to bring our ideas to life flawlessly.

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

No, our experience with the service provided was, and still is, positive.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

I don’t have any comments to make in this regard.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I was the editorial director of an online sports magazine called RugbyRocks.com when I worked with SIVOXI™.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with SIVOXI™?

We needed a custom website to accommodate our growing technology needs and set us apart from our competitors.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

SIVOXI™ built our custom, mobile-friendly website from the ground up, focusing on promoting our company vision and brand identity. They utilized our brand guidelines and incorporated new features that our columnists could use to update our site content. Our users were also able to filter content based on the columnists that they wanted to follow.

What is the team composition?

My main points of contact were Greg (CEO) and Arianna (COO).

How did you come to work with SIVOXI™?

SIVOXI™ was recommended to my business partner.

What is the status of this engagement?

The development project ran from October 2019–January 2020, but their team supported us with maintenance services until January 2021.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

We had to close the website in January 2021 because there weren't any games to cover after COVID-19 struck. While these unforeseen circumstances heavily and negatively impacted our site traffic, I wouldn't discount the fact that SIVOXI™ met our team's standards with the deliverables they produced. We could always rely on them to apply modifications and incorporate our feedback to refine their work, which spoke a lot about their credibility and professionalism.

How did SIVOXI™ perform from a project management standpoint?

We communicated via Zoom, WhatsApp, and email and met twice to conduct in-person meetings. SIVOXI™ was a collaborative and transparent partner that worked proactively with our team to address any challenges we encountered.

What did you find most impressive about them?

What stood out about SIVOXI™ was their uncompromised honesty. They accommodated all our needs, but they were also upfront in stating what we could and couldn't achieve within a particular timeline or budget.

Are there any areas they could improve?

There was nothing they could've done differently — SIVOXI™ valued our ideas and creatively delivered our requirements.

Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs?

Produce a clear project brief, and you're already halfway there.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m a project and development manager at S. Giuricich Holdings, a privately held property investment and development company. My role is to manage and coordinate some of the projects and properties that are part of the company’s portfolio. We also have a few subsidiaries, and the main one is a development branch. We’re mainly commercial and property developers in the big box and logistics space.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with SIVOXI™?

We had a very outdated website for one of our businesses so we wanted to create a new website for our holding company. The platform would show off our past and present projects for new and existing partners and customers that we wanted to be involved with going forward.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

We started with the planning phase with the SIVOXI™ team where we conceptualized what we wanted to do. After that, we looked at examples of websites in the industry that we liked in terms of style and features. Once the team had that, they came up with a few examples of what we were looking for in our WordPress website.

The site had a landing page that featured our current developments. We also had more information available about each project we completed, which were all key parts of our portfolio. We also had a page that featured our team and our capabilities and another page that showed our track record in the industry.

There was also another area where potential tenants could inquire about the rent of our properties through our website. On top of that, we had a section where we post newsworthy events in our company such as new developments, achievements, and more. If we need to feature new stories or post new projects we’re developing, we have access to the site's backend. From time to time, I still reach out to SIVOXI™. They’re now in charge of our site maintenance, and we’ll keep engaging with them if need any updates implemented on our platform.

What is the team composition?

I’m working with Greg (CEO) and he’s in charge of providing instructions on the deliverables that his team needs to execute.

How did you come to work with SIVOXI™?

Greg and I knew each other for quite some time and then I heard about the company that he had launched. I was quite curious about what they were doing and that was how our engagement started.

How much have you invested in them?

We’ve spent roughly $8,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

Our ongoing collaboration started in July 2019.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

We’ve received positive feedback from our current and prospective clients who have engaged with us through the website. It’s also easy for us to upload on our well-designed platform. On top of that, the site has met our expectations because it contains our required capabilities.

How did SIVOXI™ perform from a project management standpoint?

I’ve worked directly with Greg and we have a very good relationship. He has provided me with frequent updates throughout the process and we’ve been able to bounce ideas off each other very easily. He ensures that the project is completed on time, and he coordinates everything well to ensure that we have an excellent engagement.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Their communication skills have been impressive; we’ve been able to get great feedback from SIVOXI™, and they keep us in the loop throughout the partnership. More importantly, we don’t have to worry about slippage from any point of view because they keep a very open stream of communication, making it very easy to work with them.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Initially, when we got the project going from the concept they presented, it was slightly too technical for us. We didn’t have a big tech background so it was difficult to grasp everything. Despite that, they simplified everything so we could understand the job and the technical jargon involved in our project. In the end, we were able to understand what they presented to us and what they wanted to achieve.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Make the most of your project with SIVOXI™. In addition, communicate as effectively as possible because it is one of their strengths and it will help you build your relationship. In our case, they were able to understand what we wanted and implement our preferences on the website.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the divisional manager at BEE-Connex, a business advisory company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with SIVOXI™?

We’d been using software developers previously, and we weren’t particularly happy with them. We needed someone to assist us with developing bespoke applications for a few separate projects.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

SIVOXI™ built a website with a pretty in-depth web lead generation platform. Clients could come online and submit requests, and we’d then access those requests in the backend and contact those clients accordingly. 

The website integrated with a bespoke management tool that they developed for us. We looked at various options such as purchasing existing software and customizing it to our needs. In the end, we decided we were going to develop the entire thing with SIVOXI™. The management software was quite a comprehensive .NET project that essentially did calculations based on a company’s financial and HR data. 

It was a very consultative process; experts from the industry took what was written in legislation and how the scoring worked and put that into a client-facing software. The client could input a series of different elements to come up with a score so they could manage their Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) themselves. We were able to generate leads from the users utilizing that tool.
 
SIVOXI™ also built two mobile applications for iOS and Android that also integrated into the website and the backend. We could receive requests from clients who downloaded and used the apps.

What is the team composition?

We’ve worked with project engineers, administrators, and quite a few other people.

How did you come to work with SIVOXI™?

I’ve known Gregory (CEO) from separate projects I had from separate companies. When they came to do a brief to understand what we were looking for, he had a lot of good advice for us and put together a quotation that we were happy with. It was a lengthy process and a phased approach. Once we got through the initial phases, we were quite satisfied with their service.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent about 3.5 million–5 million South African rands ($191,000–$274,000 USD).

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in December 2018, and the work is ongoing. We have them on retainer to constantly implement new updates and changes as we need them.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

We are constantly updating and tracking the success and the use of the management system in the market.

How did SIVOXI™ perform from a project management standpoint?

They’ve done exceedingly well with project management compared to other software developers I’ve worked with in the past. We have constant communication with them. The deadlines have been very tight, and they meet them. They gave us access to their project management software as well.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Getting a software developer to understand our legislative requirements and putting it into a platform that we were able to get what we needed out of was impressive. SIVOXI™ put everything in place and delivered a platform in line with our very bespoke project requirements.  

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, there’s nothing I’d have them improve.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Work closely with them, especially with Gregory. We built a really good relationship with them, even on a personal level. When you’ve got your idea of what you want to implement, get into the nitty-gritty of it. They have really good advice and can help direct a project from a software development point of view in line with your requirements.
