Sawu gives local delivery businesses a branded ordering app and web store — orders, delivery days, subscriptions, drivers and payments — without hiring a software team.
GROWN OUT OF THE SOFTWARE BEHIND A LIVE DELIVERY OPERATION
If your customers order from you again and again, Sawu fits — scheduled routes, courier parcels, or your own drivers.
One platform, switched on module by module — you run the parts that fit how you actually deliver.
A storefront in your name, your colours, your domain. A full web app from day one; App Store and Google Play apps where the category allows — registered to your business, so the listing, ratings and customers are yours.
Customers order in seconds; you plan by branch, area and delivery day. Products, prices, stock and availability stay in your control.
Weekly or monthly standing orders with card-on-file billing, retries and reminders handled — the machinery behind revenue that repeats itself.
Assigned stops, route order, delivery PINs and photo proof for teams that run their own vehicles. Ship by courier instead? Skip this module entirely.
On-account customers with credit limits checked at order time and EFT settlement — B2B baked in, not bolted on.
Card payments through Payfast — on our aggregated account with weekly payouts, or straight into your own merchant account. Every cent on a ledger you can see.
Logo, colours, product list, delivery areas. A morning of your time, guided by us.
We set up your app, web store and payments — and where native store apps apply, we drive the Apple and Google process with you, in your name.
Your customers order from your app. You see every sale, payout and report. We keep the platform running and improving underneath.
The app is yours, the customers are yours, the ratings are yours. If we ever part ways, they stay yours.
Sawu wasn't invented on a whiteboard. It grew out of the software running a real delivery business — routes, refunds, month-end and all.
No till system? No problem. Sawu is your system of record — live sales, product performance and payout reporting are built in, not an add-on.
One monthly fee, one clean percentage — aligned so we only do well when you do. Volume rates are negotiated per business. Founding partners get white-glove onboarding: we set everything up with you, side by side.
Native store apps run on your own Apple and Google developer accounts; their standard fees apply (Apple US$99/year, Google US$25 once). We handle the process with you.
No. Sawu is the system of record — every order, sale and payout is tracked and reported in your dashboard. If you adopt a POS later, we can sync to it.
Yours. Store listings are registered to your business, with Sawu doing the technical work through invited access. Some categories (like age-restricted products) aren't allowed in the app stores at all — those run as a full web app on your own domain instead, installable straight from the browser.
Card, through Payfast — either via Sawu's aggregated account with weekly payouts to you, or your own merchant account if you prefer money landing directly. On-account business customers can settle by EFT.
The web store: as soon as your brand pack and product list are loaded — typically a few weeks end to end. Native store apps add Apple and Google's own registration and review timelines on top, so we start that paperwork on day one.
Very little: supply your brand and product list, own your store accounts, and approve what goes live. The heavy lifting — software, payments, updates, uptime — is ours.
