Smudge Technologies
We refuse
To accept it
We build digital solutions that are intelligent, scalable and reliable – that actually work. And we do it without drama, delays or “We’re two months behind” because we’re not just coding – we create solutions that solve complex problems.
Our track record of 200+ enterprise projects, 95% on-time with on-budget completion is not luck.
It’s decades of collective experience, tenacious problem-solving and zero tolerance for “good enough.”
Gary Leicher
Founder & CEO
Gary built Smudge because he was tired of watching brilliant ideas die at the hands of mediocre execution. Under his leadership, the company has grown into a leading enterprise tech provider with global partnerships that solves challenges others wont touch. With 27 years’ experience under his belt, Gary’s the rare tech leader who listens more then he speaks, builds partnerships instead of projects and lives to build stuff that improves lives and businesses.
Behind
The code
What began as a two-man team of front-end experts has evolved into a global force with talent spanning continents. From South Africa to Europe and beyond, we’ve earned our reputation as the enterprise software partner that tackles what others won’t touch — and delivers.
And while we’ve grown up, we haven’t grown corporate. We’re still the same humble team with an entrepreneurial fire – just armed with sharper tools, battle-tested processes and a track record of turning “can’t be done” into “delivered on time.”
Our values
The Smudge Technologies operating system
Stay humble
We don’t assume we know better than you do. We approach each challenge with fresh eyes and open ears, We listen before we build, but we’re not afraid to challenge assumptions.
Stay human
We bring enterprise-grade expertise without the ego.
Code-obsessed problem solvers by day. Actual humans you’d want to invite to dinner with after the servers go live.
Never settle
“Good enough” doesn’t cut it. We’re aiming for remarkable; whether it’s in our code methodologies, communications or coffee selection. Our teams continuously upskill, our processes evolve and our standards keep rising.
Take it personally
We solve your problems during Saturday gym sessions. We celebrate your wins as our own. We work weekends to support a critical launch. Not just to meet SLAs or deadlines. Because your success is personal.
By the
Numbers
