About Ellermon Holdings
Ellermon Holdings (Pty) Ltd is a private software company registered in the Republic of South Africa. We are a group that builds a short list of things carefully, and we answer our own email.
Our registered company particulars — registration number, registered office and CIPC details — are published in our legal documents.
What we do
We make software for people tracking academic progress — parents and guardians first, students next. The common thread is timing. Institutions report results after the fact, in a format designed for record-keeping rather than for acting on. We build the view that sits in between: what the marks add up to now, and what they are heading towards while there is still room to change it.
Our first product is GradeLens, for South African school learners and their guardians. GradeLens Uni applies the same idea to university and college students, who own their own results.
How we work
- We will charge for software, not for attention. There is no advertising in anything we build, and no third-party analytics or tracking. When a product needs to make money, it will do so by being worth paying for.
- We host your data in South Africa. The application, database, account emails and sign-in all run in AWS Africa (Cape Town). This is a deliberate choice, not an accident of defaults.
- We publish our compliance position. Our privacy policy, POPIA notice, PAIA manual, data inventory and child safety standards are all on this site, in full, rather than available on request.
- We say what a product cannot do. GradeLens projects a term mark from what you enter. It is an estimate, it is not the school's result, and we say so on the product page rather than in a footnote.
