Strong growth for South Africa’s top software development company

 ·12 Jun 2026

Codehesion, South Africa’s top software development company, has enjoyed massive growth in recent years.

This includes growing both its team and its revenue by 50% over the past year.

Furthermore, the company’s client base has expanded in recent years to partnerships with several large, JSE-listed companies who have realized that their internal IT departments and large traditional consultancies aren’t built for speed.

“What these companies are looking for is the combination of enterprise-grade rigour with startup-level agility,” said Codehesion founder and CEO Hector Beyers.

“They have the scale and the ambition, but they need a team that can architect, build, and ship at the pace the market demands.”

This is the large gap that Codehesion fills as a comprehensive innovation partner with the responsiveness of a specialist partner.

Building relationships

Another reason for Codehesion’s growth is its focus on building strong relationships.

“Several of our largest accounts today started as small engagements and expanded significantly,” said Beyers.

“The pattern of ‘prove it small, then grow together’ has become our core growth engine.”

Beyers highlighted several examples of this in action, including:

  • A client that had tried everything, before going to Codehesion for a small code audit – they now have six dedicated Codehesion developers.
  • After rescuing a single project for a client, the client was so impressed that they brought their entire software portfolio to Codehesion.
  • One client started with Codehesion as a small business using early-stage products, and has scaled to production-grade systems alongside Codehesion.

Today, Codehesion has delivered nearly 100 projects since its inception – and the complexity of this work has evolved significantly from the company’s early roots as a mobile app development specialist.

“Today, our work typically involves complex system integrations, legacy platform rescues, and multi-platform architectures, where the real challenge is making new technology work seamlessly with existing systems,” said Beyers.

“We’ve geared the business to be a true innovation partner, essentially a full software innovation department that plugs into your business.”
