You didn't start a business to spend your week on admin.
Most small business owners spend 30–50% of their time on operational overhead — chasing contracts, filing returns, preparing reports, managing compliance, onboarding staff. That's time you're not spending on customers, growth, or the work that actually matters.
The tools that exist were built for large companies with dedicated teams. The ones that aren't are disconnected, require training, and still need a human to stitch them together.
There is no executive assistant. There is no ops manager. There is just you.
⚖️ Legal
Contracts written ad-hoc. NDAs forgotten. Employment agreements inconsistent. One dispute can cost you more than a year's admin budget.
📊 Governance & Reporting
Board packs built the night before. Resolutions not filed. Minutes lost in email. CIPC deadlines missed. Not because you're careless — because you're busy.
👥 HR & People
A new hire joins and half the paperwork is missing. Leave isn't tracked. Performance conversations don't happen. You mean to fix it. You never get to it.
An AI that runs your company the way you would — if you had the time.
Detoil is not a chatbot. It's not another SaaS dashboard. It's a bespoke operational intelligence layer for your specific company — one that learns your preferences, your tone, your suppliers, your team, and your compliance obligations.
You communicate the way you already do: via WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Google Chat, or voice note. Detoil handles the rest — drafting, filing, formatting, reminding, and reporting — and brings everything back to you for review before anything is actioned.
You stay in control. You just stop doing the work yourself.
How Detoil works
Set Up (Once)
We spend up to four weeks learning your company. Your structure, your templates, your preferences, your obligations. We configure your Detoil instance specifically for you. No generic defaults.
You Communicate, Detoil Executes
Send a message, voice note, or document. Detoil interprets your intent, drafts the relevant output — contract, report, payslip, resolution, filing — and returns it to you for approval. You review, approve, and it's done.
Detoil Keeps Learning
Every interaction teaches Detoil more about how you work. Over time, it anticipates your needs, flags risks before they arise, and reduces the time you spend reviewing — because it gets it right the first time, more often.
One system. Everything covered.
📝 Legal & Contracts
Employment agreements, NDAs, service contracts — drafted and filed.
🧾 Accounting & Payroll
Invoices, payslips, VAT submissions — processed without spreadsheets.
👥 HR & Onboarding
From voice note to signed contract to first-day welcome. In hours.
🏛️ Governance
Board packs, resolutions, CIPC filings — prepared and tracked.
📊 Reporting
Management accounts, board reports, custom dashboards — on demand.
🔒 Security & Privacy
Your data is yours. Encrypted, private, never used for external training.
The one-hour CEO.
We believe the founder of a 15-person company should have the same operational leverage as a CEO with a 10-person head office team. Not because they can afford to hire them — but because the tools exist to replicate that leverage intelligently.
Our goal is simple: one hour per week of your time, to run a full company. Reviewing, approving, deciding. Never doing the admin itself.
That's not a far-future vision. With Detoil, it's where we're taking every client within their first year.
Built for South Africa. Built for growth.
Compliant with South African labour law, tax legislation, and CIPC requirements. Designed for companies between 2 and 50 people.
Guaranteed to cost less than what you're spending now.
Every Detoil subscription is benchmarked against your current operational spend — the time you're losing, the contractors you're paying, the mistakes that cost you. If we can't demonstrate that Detoil costs a fraction of your current overhead, we won't pitch it to you.
Pricing is bespoke. Setup is once-off. Monthly subscriptions start after your company is fully onboarded.
