Taste of Game · Case Study
“Two development firms and over R1 Million couldn’t deliver what we needed. Futurefy shipped it in a fifth of the time, and exceeded expectations we’d nearly given up on.”
Before Futurefy
Spent across two development firms over eighteen months. Zero working platform delivered.
The Turning Point
We took the risk out of the decision.
After two failed builds, Dr Ndlovu wasn't looking for another promise. Futurefy was the only firm willing to back the work with a full money-back guarantee: if the platform didn't deliver, neither did the invoice.
The Context
A wildlife economy, bottlenecked.
South Africa's game meat industry holds hundreds of millions in untapped export potential, but it runs on fragmentation. Producers advertise stock on Facebook. Abattoirs can't find reliable supply. Wholesalers have no way to verify compliance. An entire wildlife economy sits bottlenecked by the absence of a single trusted marketplace connecting farm to fork with full regulatory traceability. Taste of Game was built to unlock it.
The Build
One platform. Four sides of an industry.
A single marketplace architected around four distinct user flows — each with its own compliance surface.
For Producers
- List available game and manage offtake permits
- Connect directly to verified abattoirs
- Track sustainability plans and compliance automatically
For Abattoirs
- Source verified stock from licensed producers
- Manage orders and fulfilment across provinces
- Maintain full Veterinary Procedural Notice compliance records in one place
For Wholesalers & Retailers
- Discover verified suppliers with full traceability
- Place and track orders through a single interface
- Satisfy Consumer Protection and Foodstuffs Act requirements
For Consumers
- Browse by species, cut, and production system
- See full farm-to-plate traceability on every product
- Order online and collect from verified partners
The Part Nobody Else Could Build
Nine standards. Four stakeholders. One chain of custody.
Every animal traceable from the farm it was culled on to the customer who bought it. This is the part that broke the previous firms. It's the part Futurefy built first.
Nine Regulatory Standards — Automated
After Futurefy
Faster delivery than the combined eighteen months two previous firms spent failing to ship.
The Results
Two firms couldn't build it. We shipped it in a fifth the time.

By The Numbers
The Story
From stalled to shipped.
Taste of Game arrived at Futurefy after eighteen months and more than R1M spent with two previous development firms, neither of whom could deliver a working platform. The challenge wasn't ambition, it was complexity: a four-sided marketplace connecting producers, abattoirs, wholesalers, and consumers, with nine overlapping regulatory standards and full chain of custody traceability from farm to plate. We mapped it in one conversation, scoped it in a week, and shipped it in a fraction of the time the previous attempts had consumed. Today, Taste of Game is live, launch-ready, and positioned to unlock a wildlife economy that was bottlenecked by the absence of exactly this kind of infrastructure. The work was backed by our full money-back guarantee, because after two failed attempts, Dr Ndlovu wasn't looking for another promise. He was looking for accountability.
