SARS compliant payroll, safety management and accounts — developed locally by Silica Office, once-off licence, with responsive software support from Richards Bay.
Our Products
Developed in South Africa for South African businesses. No subscriptions, no overseas servers — software that works the way you do.
Free payroll for private households employing domestic workers. No licence key — download and install.
Windows may warn that the file is unrecognised — that is normal until we code-sign the installer. On the download page we explain how to continue safely.
Version 1.1 — SARS payroll for startups and small companies (recommended 1–25 employees). R 500.00 once-off including VAT, no monthly fee.
Safety management for small to medium businesses — incident reporting, risk assessments and compliance tracking. Built for South African OHS Act and COID Act requirements. Once-off licence, no monthly subscription.
Retail ERP for small businesses — Back Office accounts, POS till, serial tracking, workshop and VAT reporting. Once-off licence, no monthly subscription. We install on your Windows PCs (AnyDesk or on-site) — there is no public Setup download and no 60-day website trial. Currently in final preparation for release.
A separate backup program — scheduled, encrypted and monitored. It is not the company backup button inside RepoSTD Back Office.
No subscription. No always-on internet required. Silica Office software runs on your Windows PC — ideal for small businesses that want to pay once, work offline, and speak to a real person when they need help. See published pricing below.
Pricing
Published once-off prices — no monthly fees. Built for owners who cannot justify cloud subscriptions and prefer software that runs on their own PC.

What Our Clients Say
Real feedback from businesses running Silica Office software.
We switched from a cloud payroll service and saved thousands per year. The software does everything we need and Neal sorts out any issue within the hour.
Simple to use and SARS compliant out of the box. No monthly fees was the biggest selling point for us — one payment and it just works.
The support is what sets Silica Office apart. You speak to the person who built the software — not a call centre overseas. Problems get fixed fast.
