Tlhiso Launches Pay-Per-Event Guest Management for South African Businesses

Tlhiso, a South African business management platform, has launched a standalone Events vertical that lets any organiser run a professional event without committing to a monthly subscription. The service is priced at a flat R6 per guest, so organisers pay only for the events they actually run rather than carrying a recurring plan they use a few times a year.

The events tool covers the full guest lifecycle in one place. Organisers can build and import guest lists, send branded invitations and RSVP requests by email and SMS, track responses in real time as guests reply, and manage arrivals on the day through a fast check-in flow. Because the model is pay-per-use, it suits a wide range of organisers - from a once-a-year conference team to a wedding planner, a fundraiser, a school function, or a corporate events department that only needs the tool for occasional gatherings.

Data handling follows South Africa's Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA). Guest information is collected on a consent basis, stored securely, and remains the property of the organiser rather than being sold or repurposed for other uses. Messaging is delivered through established South African channels, with pricing quoted in rand and phone numbers handled in the local +27 format, so the product fits the way South African businesses already operate.

"Most event software asks organisers to sign up for a plan they only need occasionally," said a Tlhiso spokesperson. "We wanted a model where you pay for the guests you invite and nothing else, while still getting professional invitations, live RSVP tracking, and compliant data handling that respects people's personal information."

The events vertical runs alongside Tlhiso's subscription products for medical practices, property managers, B2B companies, and consumer businesses such as salons, gyms, and restaurants. It requires no separate subscription, giving occasional organisers access to the same professional-grade tools used by full-time businesses on the platform.

Tlhiso is a South African software company building a multi-industry business management platform for small and medium enterprises. From a single system, businesses run their operations across four subscription verticals - B2B, Medical & Health, Property Management, and Consumer Business (salons, gyms, restaurants) - plus a standalone pay-per-use Events tool priced per guest.

The platform handles the everyday work of running a business: managing clients, patients, or tenants; issuing invoices and statements; booking appointments; and reaching customers through email, SMS, and WhatsApp campaigns. Pricing is quoted in rand, and the product is built for local realities, from +27 phone formats to RSA ID validation.

Tlhiso's defining commitment is regulatory fit for South Africa. Compliance with the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA) is built into how customer data is collected, stored, and consented to - treating that data as the organiser's own, never a product to be sold.
