PendingSound familiar?
Most SA businesses we speak to are dealing with at least one of these every week.
WhatsApp & Excel aren't a system
Tasks shared in group chats, budgets on spreadsheets — things slip, people miss updates, and nothing is auditable.
Chasing late payments every month
No visibility into which invoices are overdue, who owes you what, or whether your bank balance reflects the real picture.
No idea what your team is doing
Field staff, remote workers, different offices — without a central system, you're always playing catch-up to know who did what.
Software priced in USD that costs a fortune
International tools charge in dollars, lock you into annual contracts, and offer no local support. Malaika is different — built here, priced in Rands.
Everything your business needs — under one roof
South African companies lose hours every week switching between apps. Malaika brings projects, finances, teams and assets into one place — so your people can focus on what actually matters.
Project Management
Create projects, set budgets, track spend, assign managers and monitor every milestone from kick-off to delivery.
Task Management
Assign tasks to team members with priority levels, due dates and completion tracking. See who's doing what at a glance.
Team & Members
Invite team members, assign roles (Admin, Manager, Employee) and control access per project with fine-grained permissions.
Time Logging
Track billable days per person per project. Generate invoices directly from time entries and monitor payment status.
Expense Tracking
Log project expenses in real time. Compare actual spend against budget and prevent cost overruns before they happen.
Asset Management
Track every company asset — equipment, tools, devices. Book assets per project, manage maintenance and monitor availability.
Project Workflow
Build timeline stages and link tasks to each stage. Visualise your full project workflow from planning through to delivery.
Book Keeping
Track revenue, expenses, labour costs and operating profit per project per month. Export to CSV and generate PDF reports for any period.
Live Team Chat
Real-time WebSocket-powered messaging scoped per project. Keep project conversations organised and searchable.
Why SA companies choose Malaika
We didn't take a foreign platform and translate it. We built Malaika from the ground up for how South African businesses actually work.
SARS-Compliant Billing
Generate professional tax invoices and quotations that meet SARS requirements — complete with your VAT number, banking details and sequential invoice numbers. Convert a quote to an invoice in one click. Send directly to clients via email.
- VAT-inclusive invoices & quotations
- Overdue tracking with real-time status
- PDF export for your records
Teams Across SA
Whether your team is in Joburg, Cape Town or out in the field, Malaika gives everyone a single workspace. Admins see the full picture. Managers run their projects. Employees log time and update tasks — all in real time.
- Role-based access: Admin, Manager, Employee
- Live project chat per team
