Help first. Never promise what cannot be delivered. No half-measures. The engineering ethos behind every G&B system
Capabilities

Seasoned engineering for today's industry and finance.

Software now sits inside every transaction, every plant floor, every compliance file and every emergency. G&B builds the bespoke systems that carry that weight — designed around the client, engineered to be examined, and hardened against the failures that only field discipline finds.

Custom Systems

Bespoke Software Design

Ground-up applications shaped to one organisation's workflow — not templates bent out of shape. From concept and architecture through build, field trial and hand-over, one accountable engineering line.

Data In Motion

Pipeline Architecture

Mainstreamed pipeline architecture for the data that businesses live on: capture, verification, transport and delivery — engineered end to end, instrumented so every stage can prove it ran.

Regulated Environments

Compliance & Verification Platforms

Digital verification of identity, place and event — trusted records for accreditation, audit and regulatory reporting where a record must stand up to scrutiny years later.

When Failure Is Not An Option

Safety-Critical & Emergency Systems

Our proving ground. Software whose users may be unconscious, offline, or in danger — engineered to keep working when the device sleeps, the network drops and the worst case arrives. See the flagship below.

Flagship Portfolio · The SHOMER Ecosystem

Proof of engineering: the product suite.

The clearest way to judge an engineering house is what it ships. G&B's flagship is a full personal-safety ecosystem — from the trigger on a sleeping phone to the responder standing at the door — built, field-tested and hardened in-house.

Personal Guardian

SHOMER

A personal safety guardian that stays awake when the phone doesn't. Multiple independent SOS triggers dispatch alerts with live location to chosen contacts — hands-free, screen-dark, pocket-deep.

  • Voice, shake, tap, acoustic, fall & dead-man triggers
  • SMS + automatic call with live tracking link
  • Cancel window on every automatic trigger
  • Guided setup that verifies the phone is truly protection-ready
The Origin Engine

PULSAR

The engineering core of the ecosystem — the trigger intelligence, dispatch pipeline and telemetry platform on which SHOMER is built, refined through relentless on-device field trials.

  • Sensor-fusion trigger stack, tuned per device class
  • Self-auditing via the Stellar Guardian system
  • Field-trial instrumentation for evidence-based tuning
Voice Intelligence

BERTHA

Behaviour Enabled Response and Threat Handling Architecture — the on-device voice guardian. One spoken word summons help; no internet required for the ear that listens.

  • Offline wake-word recognition
  • Spoken incident logging with read-back confirmation
  • Listens through true device sleep
Response & Oversight

SHOMER Responder & HQ

The other end of the alert: live incident view, casualty contact, tracking and coordination tools for the people who answer the call — families, security teams and control rooms.

  • Live incident tracking for responders
  • Direct casualty call bar
  • Fleet health via automated monthly system audits
How It Protects

Flagship in action: trigger to responder in seconds.

01

Trigger

A word, a shake, a tap, a fall — detected on a phone that may be asleep in a pocket. No unlocking, no dialling, no screen.

02

Confirm

A full-screen countdown lights the phone. Accidents get cancelled; real emergencies proceed untouched.

03

Dispatch

SMS to chosen contacts with a live tracking link, plus an automatic voice call — through carrier-grade delivery.

04

Respond

Responders see live position and status, call the casualty directly, and coordinate until the incident closes.

Where It Serves

Built for international realities.

Engineered in South Africa — where software must survive load-shedding, patchy networks and hard budgets — and expanding to clients, shareholders and stakeholders worldwide. Systems proven in demanding conditions travel well.

Industry & Operations

Bespoke operational software and data pipelines for the plant floor, the fleet and the field — instrumented, auditable, built to the client's process.

Finance & Compliance

Verification engines and trusted-record platforms for environments where every entry must be provable — accreditation, audit trails, regulatory reporting.

Safety & Communities

The flagship domain: personal guardianship for individuals and families, and coordinated response for estates, organisations and control rooms.

Leadership

Business direction. Clinical discipline. One line of accountability.

Wayne J Gaddin — Chief Executive Officer. Commercial direction, partnerships and the company's expanding international frontier: clients, shareholders and stakeholders who need an engineering partner that answers for its work.

Jonathan Brinkman — Technical Division. A systems builder with a clinical background — a discipline that leaves habits software needs: never declare a thing healthy without examining it, treat causes rather than symptoms, and accept that when systems carry people's money or safety, "mostly working" is not working.

Every G&B system is developed under a verdict discipline: nothing is called WORKING until it has been observed working — on real devices, in the real conditions it was built for.

The G&B Method

  • Field-tested on real devices before any claim is made
  • Self-auditing systems — the software checks its own health monthly
  • Honest setup — the app verifies protection-readiness, never assumes it
  • Evidence over opinion — every threshold tuned from device logs
  • Help first. No half-measures.
