IT consulting, software and game development.

A South African technology company delivering IT consulting, enterprise software and original games — engineering-led and built to run for years.

01 IT Consulting

Independent advice, grounded in delivery.

We help organisations make sound technology decisions and stand behind them. From architecture and platform selection to AI adoption and cloud operations, our consulting is led by engineers who build and run production systems every day.

ARCHITECTURE

Systems architecture & technical direction

Target architectures, platform and vendor selection, integration design and delivery roadmaps. Ongoing technical leadership for organisations without a full-time CTO or architect.

AI

Practical AI adoption

Retrieval-based assistants, document intelligence and workflow automation on leading AI models — scoped to your data, properly governed, and measured against real business outcomes.

CLOUD & M365

Cloud, hosting & Microsoft 365

Cloud architecture, hosting and operations for business platforms; Microsoft 365 and Teams solutions; domains, mail and identity — the foundations a business depends on.

INDUSTRY

Technology for process industries

Process engineering and software under one roof: digitised plant data, metal accounting, simulation and compliance systems for mining, metallurgy and manufacturing.

01Assess

We begin by understanding the business problem, the constraints and the options — before recommending anything.

02Design

A clear architecture, a phased roadmap and realistic estimates, documented so your organisation can proceed with confidence.

03Deliver & operate

We build, or work alongside your team. Then we host, monitor, support and improve the system throughout its life.

02 Software

Software products for mining and engineering.

Licensed and managed for you on your own subdomain, developed with Precision Craft N Engineering for mining and process industries. Nothing to install — it runs in the browser.

Process simulation

PrecisionFlow

Build a process plant from draggable unit operations and simulate it with real mass balances — then size new projects or mirror an existing plant, right in the browser.

  • —Mass & component balances, plant-fit models, metal accounting
  • —Sentinel — sensor reconciliation & gross-error detection
  • —For mines, metallurgists and EPCM consultancies
Open PrecisionFlow → in partnership with Precision Craft N Engineering
Training compliance

ComplyTrack

A live source of truth for legally-required training across a mine site — replacing the Excel-and-Power-BI patchwork with a system that predicts, schedules and proves compliance.

  • —Compliance index, gang × training heatmap, 90-day forecast
  • —Operational Readiness — can this shift legally start?
  • —Multi-site, role-based, with an employee self-service portal
Open ComplyTrack → in partnership with Precision Craft N Engineering
Custom builds

Bespoke web and platform software, from requirements to production — licensed, or developed for you to own outright. Hosted, monitored and supported by us throughout its life.

03 Game Development

Original games, developed in-house.

CloudBridge IT develops its own strategy titles for PC, mobile and console.

Afterstars — The Last Star: the dying sun, your world and its moon A habitat dome at the edge of the colony Ships and platforms in orbit above the home world

AFTERSTARS

The Last Star

A strategy game about surviving the death of the universe. Land on a dying world, build a colony, join a faction and a government — and before the last star goes out, fight for a seat on the Rift Engine. The stars were never meant to last. Neither were we?

  • —Planet → orbit → star system → galaxy → universe, one continuous zoom
  • —Three-layer defence: orbit, the Gluon Shield dome, the ground
  • —Politics with teeth: factions, governments, resolutions, sanctions
  • —Six ways through the end — escape, cooperate, conquer, create, compute, Kardashev
  • —An AI Universe Master, Council and ATLAS advisor; cloud saves across devices
