Softrite PVT LTD

softrite was set up by managing director, mike garden, in 1984 with one ncr dm5 computer and a printer in a small office in newlands, harare. we started off with a very efficient debtors package and our first client was brake & clutch. over the next few years we developed all sorts of standard accounting systems and had clients all over zimbabwe from small enterprises to large quoted companies and many farmers. a few years later, in 1989, we did our first rewrite using the old faithful cobol programming language for use on early personal computers - first with cp/m and then with the ms-dos operating system that microsoft brought out in the 1980s. colbro transport , based then in masvingo, were the first user of payrite in that format. this system was called payrite and over time we took a subset of these programs and marketed them to the farming community as jacana. payrite is a simple, yet very effective, payroll software package that is used by hundreds of independent companies thr
