We design, build & maintain desktop software that works hard

Some work belongs on the desktop: long days of data capture, large files, local processing and hardware on the counter. EpicDev builds desktop applications that handle it, and connects them to your web and mobile apps and the systems you already run, so everything shares one source of truth.

Where we work: based in Durban, we serve clients throughout South Africa and internationally.

When desktop application development is the right fit

A web app suits most business software. A desktop application earns its place when your team needs one or more of these:

Working offline or on unreliable connections
Printers, scanners and other connected hardware
Heavy, all-day data entry with keyboard-first workflows
Large local files and serious processing power

Desktop software we build

From the back office to the factory floor, these are the kinds of desktop applications we build and support.

Line-of-business toolsOperations, stock and admin software shaped around the way your team actually works.
Hardware-connected appsSoftware that drives label printers, scanners and other peripherals at the point of work.
Offline-first appsWork carries on without a connection, then syncs to the cloud when it returns.
Reporting and dashboardsLive figures and reports for the people running the business, on the screen they use all day.

Clear milestones, collaborative delivery

We keep you involved at every stage, from clickable prototype to roll-out across your team’s machines. Here’s how we partner with you.

Design prototype (Figma)We start with a clickable Figma prototype for visualisation and iterative feedback, shaping the product before development begins.
User interface developmentOnce the prototype is approved, we implement the UI and refine the workflows your team will use every day.
Back-end developmentAfter UI sign-off, we build the services, APIs, data models and hardware connections that power the app.
Internal QAOur team runs functional, performance and hardware testing on the operating systems you use.
User acceptance testing (UAT)You participate directly via a shared monday.com board, tracking issues, verifying fixes, and signing off on readiness.
Packaging & roll-outWe package installers for Windows, macOS or Linux, set up automatic updates and help roll the app out to your team.
Support & updatesAfter launch, we keep the app secure and current with OS updates, dependency upgrades, bug fixes and performance tuning.

Flexible on technology

We build cross-platform desktop software, so one codebase can run on Windows, macOS and Linux, and connect it to the printers, scanners and other peripherals your team relies on.

We’re not tied to one language, framework or platform. We choose the technology that fits your project, your team and the systems you already run.
