Business software built by industrial engineers, for South African companies.

We spent years writing real-time software for the industrial engineering sector, where a missed second stops a plant. We bring that reliability to CRM, stock control, accounting and the website your customers see first.

Proven in daily use

We built it for our own companies first.

The Klare-SOFT CRM runs the sales, stock, service and accounts of the KlareGroup companies every working day. When something breaks, we feel it before you do.

Klare Technologies AR Sales Automation Republic
0group companies on one CRM, each with its own letterhead and VAT number

What we build

From the first visit to your website to the paid invoice, one team builds all of it.

Each product stands on its own. Together they share one customer list, one product catalogue and one set of numbers, so nothing is captured twice.

CRM

Leads, a pipeline board, quotes, sales orders, invoices, credit notes and delivery notes. One chain from first call to paid.

Stock control

Parts with photos, nested categories, several stock rooms, low-stock review and a movement log with a reason on every line.

Accounting

Customer statements, aged debtors, vendor payments and expenses. VAT at 15% on every document, exports your accountant can open.

Business overview

A dashboard of open leads, invoices, tickets and tasks, plus sales and repairs targets with commission worked out per rep.

Web design

Fast, modern websites that sell, with a contact form that lands straight in your CRM as a lead. This site is one of ours.

 In development

3D simulation

Walk through a plant or warehouse before it is built and test the flow of material through it.

CRM

Take the CRM apart. Every layer earns its place.

Scroll to see how a Klare-SOFT CRM is put together, from the records underneath to the dashboard your team opens every morning.

Your viewOpen counts, targets, recent invoices and what's due, on one screen.
DocumentsQuote to sales order to invoice, with an actions panel and PDF on your letterhead.
ReportsSales by category, pipeline by stage, cash position. Hundreds of reports, any of them to CSV.
PipelineA board your sales team drags deals across. The numbers update everywhere.
RecordsOrganisations, contacts, products and vendors with filters, chips and CSV export.
Inside the CRM

The features a real business asked for, because a real business did.

Every one of these runs today inside our own group companies. Nothing on this list is a roadmap item.

Lead to invoiceLeads, opportunities, quotes, sales orders, invoices, credit notes and delivery notes, each converting into the next.
PDF templates on your letterheadA drag-and-drop template builder. Multi-company: the right letterhead, VAT number and bank details print automatically.
Credit limits and holdsCredit used against limit on every organisation. Accounts 21+ days overdue go on hold until an admin lifts it.
Targets and commissionMonthly, quarterly and annual sales targets per rep. Commission pools worked out from the invoices, ex-VAT.
WorkflowsOn create, on save or on a schedule: send an email, update a field, create a task or call a webhook.
Mail Desk and mass mailerA shared inbox with routing rules, email templates, campaigns with attachments and a full email log.
Task Board on the phoneA mobile app for technicians: my tasks, projects, status updates and notes from site, same login as the CRM.
Permissions per moduleAdmin, manager, staff and viewer roles, then read, create, update, delete and send per module per user.
SQL reportsHundreds of reports, admin-authored, run by anyone allowed, exported to CSV.
Xero exportTick the invoices, export the file your bookkeeper imports. Nothing captured twice.
Audit logWho changed what and when, on every record, with a per-employee access log in the HR module.
Light and dark themesThree themes, a collapsible sidebar and a global search on the "/" key. Built for people who live in it all day.
Stock control

Every part, every stock room, every movement. Nothing walks out unrecorded.

Built for workshops and engineering stores: parts with photos, nested categories, several stock rooms, and a movement log that says who took what, when and why.

  • Movements with a reasonReceived, used, corrected or allocated to a project. Every change is a signed line in the log, with the delta and the balance.
  • Low stock by locationMinimums per stock room, a live low-stock count in the menu, and a review screen sorted by what runs out first.
  • Categories that match the shelfNested categories with a filter tree, vendors and projects on every part, and an inventory value that updates as you move stock.

Movement historyReceived, Used, Correction, Scrapped or Other, with a comment, on every line. The log is how you find out what happened.
Categories and stock roomsNested categories that match the shelf, any number of named stock rooms, and a minimum per part that drives the low-stock count.

3D simulation · in development

Walk the plant before the concrete is poured.

Lay out silos, conveyors and workstations in three dimensions, then run material through it and find the bottleneck on screen instead of on site.

  • Import your drawingsStart from the STEP or DXF files you already have.
  • Throughput and queueingWatch where material piles up and what a second line would change.
Where we come from

Real-time software teaches you what reliability actually costs.

Before Klare-SOFT there were years of software for the industrial engineering sector: control and monitoring systems that had to respond within milliseconds, run for months without a restart, and never lose a reading. That is a different discipline from most business software, and we kept it.

  • Deterministic, not "usually fine"A plant does not accept a screen that responds most of the time. Neither should an invoice run or a stock take.
  • Fail safe, then tell someoneEvery action is logged with who, what and when. Backups run before every change, not after the problem.
  • Tested where it hurtsOur software was commissioned on plant floors, with the operator watching. We still test that way.
  • Built to be kept for yearsIndustrial systems live for a decade. We write business software expecting the same, with migrations that keep your history intact.
Why Klare-SOFT

Made for the South African market, by people who work in it.

Klare-SOFT is the software arm of Moodley | Klare, part of KlareGroup. We built this to run our own engineering, sales and repairs businesses first. Now we build it for yours.

Industrial-grade reliabilityEngineered by a team with a real-time control background, hosted and backed up like a plant system.
POPIA in mindPer-user permissions, an audit log on every record and encrypted credentials from day one.
Priced in randNo dollar subscriptions that double when the exchange rate moves. Local invoices, VAT at 15%, documents SARS is happy with.
Support from the buildersA phone call to a person who wrote the software and uses it daily, in your time zone.
