Xeric designs and builds multi-tenant platforms for insurance, field services and regulated industries. Every document, payment and job leaves a record you can stand behind.
Most of what a repair costs is spent before the repair starts. A van drives out to look, the quote is padded to cover the trip, and the wrong parts arrive.
Thuso-Fix is an AI diagnostic agent for property infrastructure. A homeowner or tradesman sends photos or video on WhatsApp or the web app. The AI finds the physical root cause and builds a retail-benchmarked parts list and labour estimate. A tradesman reviews it, stamps it as a binding quote, and arrives once, with the right parts.
AI speed, human heart. When the AI is unsure, a master tradesman audits the estimate. Every correction is logged so the model learns the local hardware.
Media arrives by WhatsApp or web. The AI returns a root-cause diagnosis, a parts list and a labour estimate.
The contractor checks the estimate and turns it into a binding quote. The parts list goes to a local trade counter for pre-packing.
The client accepts the quote and funds are locked in third-party escrow before anyone is dispatched.
The client sees the tradesman's verified ID, vehicle and a 4-digit PIN on WhatsApp. Proof of repair and the statutory Certificate of Conformity release the funds.
These are design targets for a product in development, not measured results.
One agreed price before anyone arrives, and a verified person at the gate.
No unpaid quoting at night, no cash tied up in materials, and pricing that rewards the quality of the work.
Funds release only against photo proof and a compliance sign-off, and every job ends in an auditable dossier.
Each one starts from the same question: when something goes wrong, what can you prove?
A multi-tenant platform for document chain of custody, built for mining, engineering, logistics and legal work. Every document is the tracked unit and carries its own immutable custody chain, with signatures captured in the field.
PilotA shared-folder monitor that helps a small office learn and keep to its file naming standard. It shows what was added, edited or deleted, flags names that break the rules with the reason beside each one, and lets staff tag files. It reads the folder on the user's own computer, so nothing is uploaded, and it only flags problems. It never renames or moves a file.
Download and set up → Rolling outA family safety platform with trip tracking, SOS escalation and a social courier chain. Each person keeps a "digital shadow" that shows trusted contacts where they are, and only what they have agreed to share.
In developmentAn asset ledger the client owns. Clients record what they have, with photos, values and proof of ownership, then send the broker a signed, hashed instruction file. Both sides keep matching records, and the broker can only reply through a defined response.
In design
AI-John helps financial advisory practices move from older systems to modern ones, such as cloud storage and shared mailboxes. We analyse how the practice works today, map the process for the change, and help the practice develop and run its own implementation plan.
Alongside the advisory work, AI-John offers a range of free tools for small offices with limited resources. Folder Dashboard is one of them.
Systems that handle other people's money, documents and safety need their rules designed in at the start.
We design the tenant separation in the database before the rest of the schema, so one customer's data can never show up in another's.
Hashed and signed messages, custody logs and audit trails are part of the data model, and each side of an exchange keeps its own matching record.
Apps cannot write to tables directly. Every change goes through a controlled database function with its own permission checks.
POPIA consent, SANS standards, statutory Certificates of Conformity and short-term insurance practice shape the product from day one.

Xeric Farms runs a small vertical farm in the Northern Cape, growing microgreens and drying them at low temperature into blends under the Spryza brand, alongside infused macadamia oils.
