$ valo service --inspect
Your systems, finally talking to each other.
Every tool you add creates a gap someone has to bridge by hand: payments reconciled against orders, invoices retyped into accounting, customer messages copied between inboxes. The gaps are where money and time leak.
We wire systems together — payments, messaging, APIs, admin tooling — so data entered once flows everywhere it needs to be, and the reconciliation happens in software instead of on someone's Saturday.
[01] current_state
The friction this removes.
swivel_chair
Staff copying data between systems that were never introduced to each other.
reconciliation_debt
Payments in one system, orders in another, and month-end spent matching them.
notification_gaps
Customers asking "did you get my order?" because nothing told them you did.
[02] system_design
What VALO builds into it.
Payments wired in
PayFast, Yoco, Stripe — payments land against the right order automatically.
WhatsApp as infrastructure
Order confirmations, status updates, and follow-ups sent programmatically over WhatsApp.
APIs and webhooks
Clean integrations with the systems you already run — accounting, auth, logistics.
Admin tooling
The internal buttons and dashboards that make the integrated stack usable by humans.
[03] delivery
From workflow map to production.
Integration work starts by defining a source of truth for every important record. We document identifiers, state changes, retry behaviour, failure ownership, and the audit information staff need when an automated step does not complete. Where a provider supports webhooks, events are verified and processed safely rather than trusted blindly. Where a legacy system has no clean API, we isolate the workaround so it does not spread through the rest of the platform. Monitoring focuses on business failures, not only server uptime.
We do not begin with a fixed feature list. The assessment identifies the smallest complete outcome worth shipping, the risks that could block it, and the information the business must own when the work is finished. Scope is written around that operating result so design and engineering decisions can be tested against something concrete.
During the build, working software is reviewed in increments. That exposes incorrect assumptions while they are still cheap to change and gives the people who will use the system a real voice in how it behaves. Accessibility, mobile use, security boundaries, analytics, and operational support are treated as part of the product rather than a launch-week checklist.
Before go-live, VALO tests the critical path, failure states, permissions, data movement, and the handover into daily operations. After launch, support focuses on evidence from real use: where people hesitate, which exceptions recur, and which next improvement will remove the most friction.

[06] questions
Frequently asked.
Can you integrate WhatsApp into our business systems?
Yes — from wa.me deep links with structured prefilled messages to full WhatsApp Business API integrations for automated confirmations and updates. We match the approach to your volume and budget.
Which payment providers do you work with in South Africa?
PayFast and Yoco locally, plus Stripe for international cards and subscriptions. We integrate them into order flows with automatic reconciliation, not just a payment button.
