About us

A calmer way to choose software.

Select Soft is an independent editorial publication for South African businesses. We turn complicated product information into a decision a working team can understand.

01

Why we exist

Software decisions often begin with a long list of features and end with a question nobody has answered: will this work here, for this team, at this cost? We created the publication to keep that question in view.

Our work is written for the person preparing a shortlist, the colleague approving the budget and the team expected to use the product every day.

02

What we cover

We review accounting, payroll, CRM, ERP, project, commerce, marketing and customer support software. We also publish comparisons and practical guides about implementation, pricing, data and local context.

03

How we remain useful

Editorial judgement is separate from commercial activity. A vendor may correct a factual error, but cannot approve a verdict or purchase a score. Every commercial link is disclosed clearly.

04

How to reach us

Select Soft is published by Lewis Lauren from Cape Town, South Africa. Editorial questions go to editor@selectsoft.co.za and factual corrections to corrections@selectsoft.co.za.

Commercial enquiries are handled separately at commercial@selectsoft.co.za, and privacy requests under POPIA reach the Information Officer at privacy@selectsoft.co.za.
