Buildbase Solutions (Pty) Ltd

The Engine Behind Your Enterprise.

We build custom backend systems, automation, and internal tooling for medium-sized enterprises — so your team can focus on the business, not the plumbing behind it.

About Buildbase

Brett Scheepers, Founder of Buildbase Solutions

Buildbase Solutions builds custom software for medium-sized enterprises, with a focus on the backend workflows that keep the business running behind the scenes. Rather than trying to cover the full IT stack, we specialise in engineering the systems and tools that streamline internal operations and increase productivity — integrations, automation, internal tooling, and the infrastructure that supports them.

Our tech stack centres on web-based solutions built with Node.js, TypeScript, C#, SQL, and AWS.

Buildbase is founder-led by Brett Scheepers, a fullstack engineer with four years of experience building production systems — from streamlining merchant onboarding at a leading payments company to architecting retail solutions for one of South Africa's largest retail groups.

What We Do

We don't try to cover your entire IT department. We focus on the backend — the systems, workflows, and infrastructure that keep your business running smoothly behind the scenes.

Workflow Automation & Integrations

Internal Tooling

Custom internal applications and dashboards built to fit how your team actually works, not the other way around.
