Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about our services, quotations, payments, the client portal and student projects.

General

How long does a project take?

It depends on the size of the work. Small websites and student systems usually take 1 to 4 weeks; larger business systems take 1 to 6 months. Your quotation states the timeline, and your client portal shows the milestones and dates.

Do you support the system after delivery?

Yes. Every system includes 90 days of bug-fix support after delivery. After that we offer maintenance and support contracts, and we can add new features at any time.

Do I own the source code?

Yes. Once the project is fully paid, the custom work we built for you, including the source code and documentation, is yours.

Do you work with clients outside Harare?

Yes. We are based in Chitungwiza, Harare and work with clients across Zimbabwe and beyond. Most of the work is done online, and our client portal keeps you informed wherever you are.

What kind of organisations do you work with?

Businesses of every size, schools and colleges, utilities, unions and NGOs, and individual students. If you have a problem technology can solve, talk to us.

Quotations & payments

Do I get a quotation before any work starts?

Yes. Every project starts with a clear, itemised quotation showing the scope, price and timeline. Nothing starts until you accept it.

How do payments work?

Once you accept a quotation we start after a 50% deposit. The balance is paid when the project is complete, before handover or collection. You can pay by EcoCash or CABS bank transfer (USD or ZWG), and send the proof of payment on WhatsApp.

Can payments follow milestones on a large project?

For larger projects a different payment schedule can be agreed. Ask us before you accept the quotation and it will be written into it.

Client portal

How do I follow my project?

Every client gets a login to our client portal at erp.droomdazlean.com. There you see progress, milestones, quotations, invoices, receipts and your files.

How do I get my client portal login?

When you request a project online, your username and password are shown to you straight away. Existing clients can ask us on WhatsApp to send their login details.

Can I accept or reject a quotation online?

Yes. Open the quotation in your portal and accept or reject it in one click. When you accept, the portal shows how to pay the deposit.

Student projects

Can you do both the system and the documentation?

Yes. Choose "Full project" and you get the working system and the full documentation, which we walk you through so you can explain and defend it.

Can I order just a few chapters?

Yes. You can request the proposal, specific chapters, the full report, the system only, a presentation, or research and data analysis.

How do I pay?

After you accept your quotation, a 50% deposit starts the work and the balance is paid before collection. EcoCash and CABS bank transfer are accepted.

How do I follow my project?

When you send a request you get a client portal login straight away. Your quotation, progress, files and receipts are all there.

Will you keep my work confidential?

Yes. Your project, documents and personal details are only used for your project and are never shared with other students.

Custom Software

How much does a custom system cost?

It depends on the modules and the number of users you need. Tell us what the system must do and we send a clear, itemised quotation, usually within a few days.

Can you improve our existing system?

Yes. We can take over, fix, secure and extend an existing system, or move your data into a new one.

Will our staff be trained?

Yes. Every system is handed over with training for your team and simple user guides.

About Custom Software

Web Development

How long does a website take?

A company website usually takes 1 to 3 weeks once we have your content. Larger web applications are planned in milestones.

Will my website show on Google?

Every site is built with the SEO basics: fast pages, structured data, a sitemap and Google Search Console. Ranking also depends on your content and competition, and we advise on both.

Can I update the website myself?

Yes. We can build it with an easy editor, or keep it updated for you under a support plan.

About Web Development

Mobile Apps

Android or iPhone?

Most users in Zimbabwe use Android, so we usually start there. With cross-platform tools we can deliver both from one codebase.

Can the app work without internet?

Yes. We build offline-first apps that store data on the phone and sync when a connection is available.

Do you publish the app for us?

Yes. We publish it on the Google Play Store under your account and handle the updates.

About Mobile Apps

IoT & Embedded

Can you build a prototype first?

Yes. We usually start with a working prototype so you can test the idea before installing more devices.

What if there is no Wi-Fi on site?

We use GSM, LoRa or store-and-forward logging, and solar power where there is no electricity.

Do you supply the components?

Yes. We source the components and include them in the quotation, or work with hardware you already have.

About IoT & Embedded

AI & Data

Do we need a lot of data for AI?

Not always. Many problems can be solved with pre-trained models and a small amount of your own data. We assess this before quoting.

Can AI run without internet?

Yes. Models can run on a local computer or on an edge device such as a Raspberry Pi.

How accurate will it be?

We measure accuracy on your real data during testing and agree the target before it goes live.

About AI & Data

Cloud & Hosting

Can you host a system you did not build?

Yes, after a short review to make sure it is secure and compatible.

Where will my system be hosted?

On reputable cloud or VPS providers chosen for speed, cost and reliability, protected by Cloudflare.

What if something goes down?

Monitoring alerts us, and backups let us restore quickly. Support plans include agreed response times.

About Cloud & Hosting

Cybersecurity

Is my small business really a target?

Yes. Most attacks are automated and look for any weak system. Basic hardening and backups stop most of them.

Will a security review disrupt our work?

No. Reviews are planned with you and done carefully, outside busy hours where needed.

Do you keep the findings confidential?

Yes. Findings are shared only with the people you choose.
