Services · Custom software
Custom software, built
around your business.
Portals, dashboards, booking systems and internal tools for Australian small businesses — designed around the workflow you actually follow, not the one a software vendor imagined. Fixed quotes, working software in weeks, and we stay on after launch.
What we build
The unglamorous software that runs a business.
Client portals
Give customers a login to see their jobs, invoices, documents and bookings — instead of emailing you for updates.
Dashboards & reporting
One screen with the numbers that matter, pulled live from Xero, your job system and your spreadsheets.
Booking & scheduling systems
Bookings, rosters and resources handled by software that knows your rules — not a shared calendar and crossed fingers.
Spreadsheet replacements
When the quoting or job-tracking spreadsheet becomes the business, we turn it into a proper multi-user tool with validation and an audit trail.
Document automation
Quotes, reports, contracts and certificates generated from your data in one click, formatted exactly how you send them today.
Internal tools
The small, specific applications nobody sells off the shelf — built around the workflow your team actually follows.
Pricing
Real numbers, upfront.
Most agencies won't put prices on a page. We will, because the surprise-quote dance wastes everyone's time. Prices are AUD ex GST; every project gets a fixed quote on a fixed scope before any work starts.

Process
Four steps, no mystery.
01
Talk
Tell us what's slow, manual or error-prone. We'll tell you honestly whether software is the fix — and if a $30/month tool would do it, we'll name the tool.
02
Scope
We map the real workflow, agree a fixed scope and a fixed price in writing, and decide what version one deliberately leaves out.
03
Build
You see working software within the first fortnight, with a short check-in each week. No three-month silences.
04
Support
We migrate your data, run the old and new side by side, and stay on after launch with a maintenance retainer if you want one.

FAQs
Fair questions.
How much does custom software cost?
Small tools and automations run $2,000–$15,000, internal systems $15,000–$60,000, and customer-facing products from $60,000. We quote fixed prices on fixed scopes — see our full cost guide for what drives the number.
How long does a project take?
Small tools ship in 1–3 weeks, internal systems in 4–10 weeks, full products in 3–6 months. The biggest factor is how quickly decisions get made on your side.
Do we own the code?
Yes — completely, in writing, in a repository registered to your business from week one. If we part ways, any competent developer can pick it up.
What happens after launch?
We don't disappear. Optional monthly retainers cover hosting, monitoring, security updates and small fixes. For simple desktop tools with no server, we'll tell you a retainer isn't worth paying for.
We're not sure we need custom software. Will you tell us straight?
Yes — about a third of enquiries end with us recommending an off-the-shelf product instead. Building the wrong software is bad for everyone, including us.
