Nexus — a claims app we built

A claims and jobs app we built for a Cape Town plumbing firm — before Caleon existed.

From paper and WhatsApp to one app

The firm handles insurance geyser claims. Every job ran on a paper form and a WhatsApp group. Jobs slipped, paper piled up, and invoices were slow. We built one app for the whole job, used by the team on site.

  • One app for the whole job, from claim to paid
  • Used on phones, on site, by the whole team
  • Built for South African insurers and VAT

In their words

Before Nexus, every geyser claim ran on paper and a WhatsApp group. Now the whole job — claim, inspection, invoice — lives in one app the team uses on site. We waste far less time on paperwork, get through more jobs, and we are more profitable for it.
