About .CoLab
We build software that makes complex business systems work better together.
.CoLab is a South African software company focused on integration, automation and the specialist tools businesses need to operate more efficiently. We design and develop our own technology, creating practical software that solves real operational challenges and enables software partners to bring greater capability to their customers.
Our Story
.CoLab began in 2017 with a belief that there had to be better ways for businesses to connect systems, simplify processes and get more from the technology they already use.
What began as a business working closely with customers and solving complex operational challenges has evolved considerably over the years. That experience gave us something invaluable: a first-hand understanding of the problems businesses and software consultants encounter every day.
And increasingly, we found ourselves solving those problems through technology of our own.
Today, .CoLab is focused on building software.
Our growing product portfolio is designed around challenges we know well — connecting systems, automating processes, simplifying complex work and giving businesses and their technology partners better tools to get the job done.
Built by .CoLab
Our products are created to solve practical business problems and to extend what software providers, consultants and businesses are able to achieve.
.integr8+ makes sophisticated system integration accessible and manageable without requiring every integration to become a custom development project.
.autom8 (Coming soon) brings structured workflow and process automation to organisations that need greater visibility, control and efficiency across their operations.
Our specialist tools and add-ons solve specific operational challenges, from financial reconciliation to accurate historical exchange-rate processing.
As our portfolio grows, the principle remains the same:
Build useful technology. Solve meaningful problems. Make complex things simpler.
SOME BUSINESSES WHO USE OUR SOLUTIONS
Our Purpose
To build technology that helps people and businesses work with greater simplicity, efficiency and confidence.
Our Vision

What Guides Us
We believe that how we build a business matters just as much as what we build.
For us, .CoLab is something we have been entrusted to steward well. That means pursuing excellence in our work, acting with integrity, treating people with respect and building a company that creates genuine value for the people and businesses we serve.
Our Christian faith shapes those principles and the responsibility with which we approach our work.
Ultimately, our desire is simple: to use what has been placed in our hands well, and to honour God through the way we build, lead and serve.
“Whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.” 1 Corinthians 10:31
Collaboration is still at our Core
Our business may have evolved, but our name still means something.
We believe some of the best opportunities are created when the right technology and the right people come together. That's why partnerships remain an important part of how our products reach the market.
We build the technology. Our partners bring their industry knowledge, customer relationships and implementation expertise.
Together, we can deliver more.

It is our pleasure to recommend the services of Dotcolab. During the past 4 years our company have been working closely with Dotcolab. they have provided us with software and support for SAGE (accounting software) as well as the latest project we've been working on being our payment automation project where they have assisted with the integration of various systems.
The work and support they have provided our company have always been in an efficient logic manner making working with them easy and understandable. Having dealt with Ronel, Elize and Trevor, they have always been professional and given expert advice when needed.
Dotcolab have offered high quality services and support throughout and I'm sure will continue to do so as we carry on with our journey working alongside them. The same can be said about their pricing policy. They are competitively priced. We are extremely satisfied with the way they conduct their business and hope that you have the same pleasant experience with them.
The .CoLab - AZ-Software Solutions and Finware Enterprise Systems Joint Venture has successfully implemented Sage 200, BPM for Sage and Sage CRM and is currently assisting with support on an ad-hoc basis.
During the implementation, there were some challenges and the Joint Venture managed them all with the utmost professionalism, and the team went over and above to successfully implement the required solution.
This Joint Venture has a high level of competency in their specific fields and I highly recommend them for similar solutions.
