Projects, tenders, and milestones
Manage the full opportunity-to-delivery lifecycle. Tag a tender, win it, convert to a live project, track milestones, and bill against a contract value.
Built for Southern & East African SMEs
The ridge between your business and the paperwork.
Projects, HR, payroll, invoicing, and field service in one tool — ZIMRA fiscalisation, multi-currency, and statutory compliance baked in, not bolted on.

The platform
One tool. Three shapes. Built for the way you actually work.
DataRidge runs in three subscription shapes — HR Standalone, Field Service, and Project & HR — without forking the engine. Pick the shape that matches your business and switch later if it changes.
HR for African SMEs
Employees, leave, performance, training, certifications, and announcements — all wired to your payroll. Probation tracking, role-based permissions, and an invite flow that just works.
Statutory payroll
PAYE, NSSA, NEC bands computed against the current rates. Multi-currency net pay, payslips with breakdowns, and exports for audit.
Invoicing with ZIMRA fiscalisation
Issue, send, fiscalise, and chase invoices. Automatic OVERDUE flips, manual reminders, partial-payment tracking, and reversible payments with audit trail.
Field service mode
A separate plan tier remaps terminology — projects become jobs, clients become customers — without changing the underlying engine. One product, three shapes.
Multi-tenant, multi-layer security
Per-org isolation at the database layer. JWT, role, permission, and module gates compose. Audit logs on every mutation. Cloudflare R2 for documents.
From signup to first invoice in under an hour.
