Cybatar has been involved in the development of other technology startups including financial technology company Riovic.[2] In 2015 the company announced Africa's first fuel delivery network[3][4] which was received as evidence that South African entrepreneurs had embraced the idea of the On Demand Economy[5][6] and as an improvement to the Petroleum Industry value chain. In the wake of the FeesMustFall protests in South Africa, the company launched a university scholarship crowdfunding platform and campaign to save students across the country who were in tuition debt and were facing financial exclusions in 2016.[7][8][9]

The software company also received international recognition for being lean and its technological contribution to the community in South Africa through a nomination for the African Corporate Excellence Awards 2015 under the Information Technology category.[2][10] It was then named Best Cloud Computing Company - Africa in November 2015 in the awards.[11][12][13]
