Engineering firm · Gaborone, Botswana
Software, AI and engineering design for Botswana businesses.
Two service lines under one roof: AI & software engineering, and engineering design across electronics, mechanical and control systems. We scope the work in plain language, design it properly, and hand over the files.
What we do
Two service lines, one team.
Most of our work starts as one and touches the other. Software that reads a machine needs someone who understands the machine.
AI & Software Engineering
Custom business software, web platforms, workflow automation and AI built into the processes you already run. You get the working system, the source code and the documentation.
- Business software and internal tools
- Web platforms and SaaS products
- Workflow automation and AI integration
Engineering Design
Electronics, mechanical and control systems design handled together, so the circuit, the enclosure and the control logic are designed to fit each other rather than by three separate suppliers.
- Circuit design, PCB layout, embedded hardware
- CAD models and fabrication drawings
- Control philosophy, PLC logic, instrumentation
How we work
Scope, design, build, handover.
The same four steps whether the job is a web platform or a control panel.
- 01
Scope
We sit with you and work out what the system actually has to do, what it must cost, and what is out of scope. You get that in writing before anything is built.
- 02
Design
We produce the design — architecture, schematics, models, control philosophy — and review it with you before committing to build.
- 03
Build
We build and test against the scope. You see progress as it happens, not in one reveal at the end.
- 04
Handover
You receive the source code, design files, drawings and documentation, plus training on how to run it. The files are yours. There is no lock-in.
Capability
What we've built.
We are a new engineering practice and we do not have client case studies to show yet. What we can show is work our team has designed and built. Judge us on the specifics.
Production management SaaS
A platform for apparel manufacturers that tracks every order from consultation through cutting, sewing, QC and dispatch, with role-based access for floor staff and management.
Multi-vendor e-commerce platform
A marketplace supporting multiple independent sellers, with integrated payments, order routing and vendor payouts.
Booking and scheduling products
Live booking and scheduling systems handling availability, confirmations and customer notifications.
Loan management system
Built to Botswana regulatory requirements, covering application, affordability assessment, disbursement, repayment schedules and statements.
Sensor-based monitoring hardware
Embedded monitoring built on Arduino and ESP32 — sensor selection, circuit and firmware, logging equipment conditions and reporting them to a dashboard.
Two of these run as live products.

Led by a practising engineer.
MechaNova's Managing Director is a Mechatronics and Industrial Instrumentation engineer, with working experience across instrumentation, SCADA and PLC systems, embedded electronics and mechanical design.
That background is why the two service lines sit together. The person specifying a sensor is the person writing the software that reads it, so nothing falls into the gap between disciplines.
