Letsap produces packaged software that attaches to or works with Sage Pastel, to address niche market areas that are not catered for by Sage Pastel itself, or to provide useful facilities that are not in the core product. Gideon had spent many years in a development role at Sage Pastel, starting as an integral part of the core development team, and culminating as the Director of the Development team for 3 years. Acknowledging that no major developer of shrink-wrapped software can possibly cater for everyone’s needs in all circumstances, Gideon recognised the opportunity to use his very deep knowledge of the Sage Pastel range to develop specialist systems related to Sage Pastel products. Initially the company did a substantial amount of once-off customised software, but a demand rapidly increased for more standard products. It also became clear that the market had started to realise that continual development of once-off systems was both expensive to produce and difficult to maintain. This trend has progressed to where Letsap no longer concentrates on creating individual customised software, and rather focuses on developing innovative products for both niche markets and across-the-board use by Sage Pastel users. The company now employs an experienced and competent development and support team at its headquarters in Midrand, Johannesburg. The team currently includes software developers, specialists in quality control and support, and customer liaison officers. The company is committed to do whatever it takes to ensure satisfied customers. That goal starts with analysing the customer’s business needs and then designing a solution that integrates efficiently and effectively into whatever Sage Pastel technology may exist within the customer’s business. Developing a robust solution that is intuitive and easy to operate is a key focus of the development team. Coupled with this is on-site training and an efficient support process that ensures business operations run optimally and profitably.
