The 12-app trap

Most SMEs run their business across 12 disconnected apps

SMEs run their business across 12 disconnected apps — invoicing here, bookings there, staff somewhere else, accounting reluctantly. Each app needs its own subscription, its own learning curve, and none of them talk to each other. The owner ends up doing reconciliation at midnight, copying numbers between tabs.

Stock figures live in one app, customers in another, invoices in a third, bookings on a calendar, payroll on a spreadsheet, marketing inside WhatsApp threads. None of them talk to each other. The owner becomes the integration layer — manually.

"I was paying R6 800/month across 8 different subscriptions just to keep the salon running. Half of them I didn't really use — but I couldn't switch any of them off without breaking the rest. HelixDash replaced the whole stack for R699/month."

Frequently asked

Honest answers to the questions we get

Industry coverage, switching, loadshedding, POPIA, SARS, hardware, multi-location, hospital specifics.

Which industries are supported out of the box?
120+ — and growing every quarter. The big ones: salons, restaurants, cafés, hotels, spas, clinics, dentists, vets, hospitals, schools, daycare, retail stores, e-commerce, pharmacies, mechanics, plumbers, electricians, cleaners, consultants, gyms, yoga studios, real-estate agents, event planners, photographers, florists, and many more. If yours isn't listed, we add new templates regularly — talk to us about it.
Can I switch industry later if my business changes?
Yes. The underlying data model is the same across all 120+ templates — what changes between them is the module mix, the default categories and the workflow defaults. You can switch industry from Settings → Business profile at any time. Your customers, invoices, payments and history all come with you.
Does HelixDash work offline during loadshedding?
The web dashboard needs an internet connection. But the POS module ships with offline mode — sales are queued locally during loadshedding or signal drops, and sync automatically when you're back online. The companion mobile add-on apps (Hospital Patient, Hospital Staff, etc.) also work offline-first. For salons and shops we recommend an LTE backup router — we'll point you at the SA models we trust.
Is HelixDash POPIA-compliant?
Yes. Every tenant database is isolated, encrypted at rest and in transit. We provide a built-in data export for subject-access requests, a data-purge tool for right-to-erasure, configurable retention windows, and an audit log of who-saw-what. Our processing agreement is downloadable from the HelixDash console. POPIA training for your staff is included on Pro + Enterprise.
Are invoices SARS-compliant tax invoices?
Yes — invoices over R5 000 include all the SARS-mandated fields (supplier VAT number, customer VAT number where applicable, 15% VAT line, invoice number, date, full description of goods/services). Below R5 000, the abridged tax invoice format is used. VAT201 export is available from the Reports module. We don't replace your accountant — but we make their job 80% easier.
Do I need to buy hardware to use the POS module?
No. The POS module runs on any tablet, laptop or desktop with a modern browser. For salons + small shops a single iPad works perfectly. If you want a full countertop till — receipt printer, cash drawer, barcode scanner — the optional HelixDash POS Hardware add-on ships pre-paired with your account. Plug it in, log in, ring up. Hardware is roughly R6 500 once-off.
Can I run multiple branches from one HelixDash account?
Yes — Growth tier handles up to 3 locations, Pro up to 10, Enterprise unlimited. Each location has its own till, its own stock, its own staff schedule — but you share a single customer database, a single product catalogue, and consolidated finance reporting. Inter-branch stock transfers, branch-vs-branch performance dashboards, and central pricing all included.
What's the hospital module actually capable of?
The hospital industry template includes patient management (admissions, ward rounds, discharge), prescription tracking, billing-against-medical-aid (Discovery, Bonitas, Bestmed and others), pathology orders, theatre scheduling, and shift planning for clinical staff. Combined with the Hospital Patient app + Hospital Staff app add-ons, it's a full lightweight HIS for small-to-mid private hospitals. Not a replacement for SAP IS-H — but plenty for a 20-200 bed operation.

Run your whole business from one login — in under an hour.
