Why choose us?

Proven where it matters most

Novus³ has been trusted by South Africa’s largest metros — Johannesburg, Tshwane and Ekurhuleni — as well as dozens of smaller municipalities, provincial treasuries and international partners like the World Bank. Over the past five years we’ve developed more than 95% of the Capital Expenditure Frameworks produced in South Africa. Our solutions aren’t theoretical; they’ve been tested and refined in the real world for over a decade.

One platform, built for the job

Our CP³ solution brings project planning, prioritisation, budgeting and reporting together in a single system — not a patchwork of separate tools held together by manual workarounds. It’s spatially informed, aligned with National Treasury requirements and MFMA compliance out of the box, and configurable to each client’s structures, priorities and reporting needs.

A partner, not just a product

With Novus³’s products, there’s no pay-per-user pricing, no hidden costs and no fees to unlock functionality — when we improve the platform, every client benefits immediately. Our multidisciplinary team of planners, engineers, finance specialists, data scientists and developers shoulders the heavy lifting of onboarding and stays on hand with practical advice built on years of hands-on experience.

Fits into how you already work

Novus³’s CP³ solution connects to other systems through tested APIs, imports existing data through simple Excel-based templates, and produces reports in the exact formats National Treasury requires. Adopting our tools doesn’t mean ripping out what you have — it means making it work better.

Decisions grounded in evidence

We combine spatial analytics, financial modelling and multi-criteria prioritisation so that investment decisions are transparent, defensible and based on data — not guesswork. Where a project sits, what it costs, whether it’s ready and what impact it will have all feed into a single, coherent decision-making framework.

Pioneers, then and now

Novus³ was first to market with CP³ — South Africa’s original purpose-built capital planning and prioritisation solution — and more than a decade on, the offering remains unique. Increasingly, that pioneering work is being recognised internationally, with global development institutions turning to us to help shape the next generation of capital investment planning tools.
