Astute Software Southern Africa (ASSA) is a software company based in Centurion, South Africa. The focus is currently on business systems designed and built on a financial core platform.

ASSA develops operational software for niche markets using the Astute Financial and Supply Chain Solution as a core foundation. The component based architecture of this application allows for the reuse of key components in development of custom applications unique to our customers requirements without having to reinvent or recode existing functionality.

ASSA was established identifying potential in the Southern African market for a new approach to business software solutions. Southern African companies face the same pressures as their American and European counterparts to improve efficiencies, bolster product pipelines, streamline productivity and increase shareholder value. However the incumbent financial systems suppliers are simply not responding to the demands of the market either from a technology or business perspective. Astute Software responds to these challenges with modern, Internet-architected solutions that can be deployed both internally and through a Software as a Service (SaaS) model and with a perpetual licensing proposition that offers a refreshing and compelling alternative.

The Astute Financial and Supply Chain Solution originated in the UK and as part of the product’s quality assurance process it was accredited by the ICAEW (Institute of Charted Accounts of England and Wales). ASSA are proud of this accreditation and the further endorsement of the product by the Butler group, Europe’s leading IT analyst. Their in depth analysis of Astute lays bear the solution for full examination from a skilled but independent perspective.

Astute Software Southern Africa (Pty) Ltd is at the forefront of subscription based licensing for its software. This option is gaining acknowledgement as a cost effective and flexible alternative to current licensing models.
