# Randcore Development

> Randcore Development (Pty) Ltd is a senior software, system-integration and e-commerce engineering studio in Rosebank and Linden, Johannesburg, South Africa. It is the dedicated South African PrestaShop practice, and it builds Core Platform, a South African business suite where invoicing, accounting, stock and payroll share one ledger. Randcore runs its own books and Omnitronix's on Core Platform, and runs its own PrestaShop 9 store at shop.randcore.co.za, so both practices are first-hand. Founded and led by Ethan Lowery (CEO & CTO). Starting prices are published in rand on the site. Contact: info@randcore.co.za, +27 62 524 6155.
