NowMonth-end is two days of chasing overdue invoices one WhatsApp at a time.

The admin eating your week, done for you.

Sound familiar?
Where the week actually goes.
Most owners we meet are not short of customers or information. They are short of hours, because they have become the bridge between WhatsApp, the accounts and the stock sheet.
NowCustomers ask the same things all day: price, stock, delivery, hours. Some give up waiting and buy elsewhere.
NowStaff call you for every number, because only you know where it lives.
Watch it work
Your apps, finally working together.
Pick a job and watch what your AI assistant does with the systems you already use. Nothing new for your team to learn, and nothing you have to remember to do.

Runs when an invoice passes 30 days
Examples of jobs we set up. Yours are built around how your business actually works.
Your own AI assistant
An AI assistant built for your business.
Not a chatbot that read the internet. We train it on what your business already knows — your prices, stock, invoices, customers and the policies nobody wrote down — so it can work for you, your staff and your customers.
- Knows your business. Answers from your own records, not guesses.
- Lives on WhatsApp. Also in the browser. Nothing new for anyone to install.
- Serves customers day and night, and hands over to a person when it is not sure.
- Does the job, not just the answer: sends the reminder, books the slot, drafts the quote.
- Reads only what you switch on. Payroll, HR and bank details stay off, and every answer shows its source.
Who it's for
Built for how business runs here.
Owner-run businesses with a counter, a fleet or a warehouse, a WhatsApp number that never stops, and books in QuickBooks, Xero or Pastel.
Pharmacies and clinics
A warning before a line runs out, and repeat-prescription reminders sent to patients on WhatsApp.
Transport and logistics
Customers told where their load is without calling you, and the invoice raised the moment delivery is signed off.
Wholesale, retail and hardware
Live stock and prices your counter staff can ask about, and quotes that become invoices without re-typing.
How it goes
From first chat to running, in weeks.
Nothing is built before we understand how the business actually runs. You see working software at the end of every stage, not a document.
Free admin audit
An hour with you and your staff, at your premises or on a call, writing down who chases what and where the numbers live. You keep the map whether or not you go ahead.
Fixed quote, then build
One number for the list you chose. We connect the systems, set up the automations and train the AI on your records, and you test it on your real week.
Handover and support
We sit with your team until they trust it, and stay reachable on WhatsApp. It keeps up as your records change.
Price
Start free. Pay a fixed price for what works.
No packages, no per-seat fees, no monthly surprise. Most owners start with the one job costing them the most time, then add to it once that part is paying for itself.
Admin audit
Free
We map where your hours go and tell you honestly what is worth automating, and what is not.
1 hour · no obligation
One automation
Fixed quote
Invoice reminders, reports that send themselves, WhatsApp replies, or two systems kept in step.
Live in 1–2 weeks
Your AI assistant
Fixed quote
An assistant trained on your own records, for staff or customers, on WhatsApp or the browser.
Live in 3–6 weeks
Running costs are shown separately and are usually small. If the work turns out smaller than quoted, you pay the smaller amount.
Why JDH
Built in Harare, for how business is done here.
You can meet the person who built it
We come to your office, see the counter, watch the queue, and fix things in the room. No overseas support ticket.
WhatsApp first, because that is where your customers are
Nobody is going to download your app. Everything we build works from the app already open on their phone, on mobile data, on a slow day.
Your data stays your data
We agree in writing what is connected. Payroll, HR and bank details are off by default. You can take a full copy, or have it deleted, at any time.
A fixed price before we start
We scope the work, quote it, and that is the number. If it turns out smaller than we thought, you pay the smaller amount.
Do I have to replace QuickBooks or whatever we use now?
No. We connect to what you already run and leave it in place. Your accountant keeps working the way they do.
Our records are a mess. Is that a problem?
It is normal, and it is part of the job. Do not tidy anything before calling us; finding where the truth lives is what the audit is for.
Will it work on our internet and through power cuts?
Yes. It runs off-site, not on a machine in your office, and is built for mobile data. Automations queue and catch up rather than failing.
Are you going to replace my staff?
No. What goes is the copying, the chasing and the “can you check for me” interruptions. Most owners put those hours back into customers.
Tell us the job you dread most.
One message is enough. A voice note is fine. If software is not the answer, we will say so.
About us
Software people you can actually find.
JDH Software is a small AI and automation shop in Harare. We build the connective tissue that most Zimbabwean businesses are still doing by hand.
The short version
We got tired of watching good businesses lose hours to copying.
Walk into most companies here and you will find the same scene. The accounts are in QuickBooks. The customers are in WhatsApp. The approvals are in somebody's inbox. The stock is in a spreadsheet that only one person understands. And between all four sits a person whose real job has quietly become re-typing.
That person is usually the owner.
JDH Software exists to take that job off the payroll. We connect the systems you already use, automate the steps between them, and where it makes sense we build the business its own AI — one trained on your own records, so it can answer the questions your team currently has to ask you.
We are deliberately small. That means you talk to the person writing the code, we take on work we can actually finish, and we say no when software is not the answer.
Working with businesses countrywide and across the region.
Custom business AI, systems that talk to each other, work that runs itself.
We are not reselling a platform. What we build belongs to your business.
Whatever hour suits you. Sundays by prior arrangement — book a meeting and we will be there.
How we work
Four rules we do not bend.
See what it looks like
This is the workspace.
JDH Workflows puts the balance, the invoices, the quotes, the email box, the WhatsApp box, the leads and the urgent work on one screen, with an assistant that answers from those same records. Open Knowledge & access in the sidebar to see exactly what the assistant is allowed to read. Click through it below, full screen if you like — the companies are fictional, everything else is the real thing.
On a phone? Turn it sideways — there is a lot on this screen. Or tap Full screen in the bar below.
YOUR BUSINESS, AT A GLANCE
Business overview
Welcome back, Joshua.
One screen instead of six
Money in, money out, what is owed, what is quoted, who has written in and what is overdue — all reading from the same records, so the numbers cannot disagree.
You set how much it knows
Each source is switched on or off by you, with a depth you choose. Anything excluded is never read, never indexed and never quoted — payroll, HR and personal files are off before you ask.
Everyone sees only their own work
Owner, finance, sales and support each get their own view. Our technical support sees nothing at all until you approve it, for one conversation, for five minutes.
An assistant on every screen
Ask what needs attention, who owes money or how the pipeline looks, and it answers from the records in front of you. It will draft the follow-up too.
Want to see it on your own numbers?
Send us one export — a stock sheet, a price list, a month of invoices — and we will stand this up on your own numbers instead of ours.
Questions
The things people ask first.
If yours is not here, send it to us on WhatsApp. We answer plainly, and we will tell you when the answer is no.
What does “an AI for my business” actually mean?
It means an assistant that has been given your business's own information — price lists, stock, invoice history, supplier terms, the policies your staff currently have to ask about — and can answer questions about it in plain language.
It is not a generic chatbot with your logo on it. Ask it “what did we bill Nyati Construction last quarter and have they paid?” and it answers from your books, not from the internet.
Do I have to replace QuickBooks or whatever we use now?
No. That is the point. We connect to what you already run and leave it in place. Your accountant keeps working the way they work; the difference is that everything else can now see those numbers too.
How do you connect WhatsApp?
Through WhatsApp Business, using the official channel. Messages to your business number can be read, answered, logged against a customer, and turned into a task or an invoice — either automatically or with a person approving each one.
We do not touch anyone's personal WhatsApp account.
Can I control how much the AI is allowed to know?
Yes, and it is the first thing we settle. Every source is switched on by you, one at a time, with a depth you choose — all invoice history but only twelve months of mail, say, or the price list but not the margins on it. Nothing is connected because it happened to be in the same folder.
Excluded means invisible, not hidden. A blocked folder or account is never read, never indexed and never summarised, so the assistant cannot quote it, cannot reason around it, and does not know it exists. Widening the scope later takes a written instruction from you.
Will it read sensitive files — payroll, HR, bank details?
No. Payroll and salaries, HR and disciplinary files, bank logins and card details, staff personal folders and private mail, ID numbers, medical and next-of-kin records — all excluded by default, before you ask, on every build we do.
If your business genuinely needs one of those in scope, we will ask you why, put it in writing, limit it to the people who need it, and log every time it is read. The default is off, and it stays off unless you move it.
Is my business data safe? Who can see it?
We agree in writing which systems are connected and what is pulled from each. Access is limited to the people you name, and it is set per role rather than per company — sales sees sales, finance sees finance.
Your records serve your business only. They are never sold, and never used to train anything shared with another client. Every answer the assistant gives names the records it came from, and there is a log of what was read and by whom.
You can request a full copy of everything, or ask us to disconnect and delete, at any time.
How long does it take?
A focused automation — reminders, a report that sends itself, two systems kept in step — is usually one to two weeks. A full business AI trained on your records is typically three to six weeks depending on how tidy the records are. We give you the dates with the quote.
What does it cost?
It depends on what you ask for, and that is the point — there is no package to buy into and no per-seat fee. You choose which pieces get built, we quote that list and nothing else, and the shape of the thing follows how your business actually runs.
We quote a fixed price after the mapping stage, so you know the number before any real money is spent. Running costs afterwards are usually small, and we show them to you separately rather than hiding them in a monthly fee.
If it turns out to be less work than we thought, you pay less. Build the list you have in mind on the home page and send it to us for a number.
Our records are a mess. Is that a problem?
It is normal, and it is part of the job. Half of what we do in the first week is finding out where the truth actually lives. You do not need to tidy anything before calling us — tidying it in advance usually wastes your time.
Will it work on our internet?
Yes. We build for mobile data and for days when the line is bad: light pages, WhatsApp as a fallback, and automations that queue and catch up rather than failing. Anything that has to keep running when the power goes out runs off-site, not on a machine in your office.
Are you going to replace my staff?
Not the plan, and not usually the outcome. What we remove is the copying, the chasing and the “can you check for me” interruptions. Most owners use the hours they get back on customers, not on cutting people.
What if we want to stop working with you?
You keep what we built and the documentation for it, and we hand over the accounts and keys. We would rather you stay because it is working than because leaving is difficult.
Do you work outside Harare?
Yes — countrywide and across the region. We prefer to do the first mapping session in person where we can, and everything after that works fine remotely.
How do I start?
Message us on WhatsApp and tell us the job you dread most. That one sentence is enough for us to tell you whether we can help, roughly what it would take, and what it would cost.
Still wondering something?
Contact us
One message is enough.
Tell us what the business does and which job is eating your week. We will come back with whether we can help, roughly how long, and what it costs.
Call or WhatsApp, Monday to Saturday, at any hour.
Fastest way to reach us. Send a voice note if it is easier.
For quotes, scopes and anything with attachments.
We come to you for the first session — Harare and surrounds, or anywhere in the country by arrangement.
Sundays by arrangement. Whenever you message, you hear back the same day. If you do not, send it again, because something went wrong on our side.
