Custom software for Canberra businesses

When off-the-shelf software doesn’t fit the way you work, we design and build software that does: internal systems, customer and staff portals, and the connections between the tools you already use.

Discovery from $2,900 + GST, then a fixed quote for the build.

Your business has outgrown its spreadsheets

  • The business runs on a spreadsheet only one person really understands.
  • Staff type the same details into three different systems.
  • Off-the-shelf software makes you work its way, and charges per user for the privilege.
  • An old system no one can change is holding everything else back.
What we build

Software shaped around how you work

We map how work really moves through your business first, then build only what makes a difference.

Internal systems

Job management, approvals, rosters and dashboards that replace the spreadsheet, with your data in one place.

Customer and staff portals

Secure logins where customers, staff or suppliers see and update what they need, and nothing more.

Workflows and approvals

Requests that move to the right person, with reminders, a clear status and a record of who decided what.

Integrations

Your accounting, CRM, booking and email tools sharing data, instead of someone re-typing it.

Audits of existing software

A plain-English review of software you already have: what’s working, what’s risky and what to do next. From $1,000 + GST.

Secure by design

Roles and permissions designed up front, privacy built in, and automated tests on every release.

How it works

From first conversation to launch

Fixed quotes, a live project board, and nothing goes live until you’ve seen it working and signed it off.See how we work →

  1. Map how work flows

    Workshops and interviews with the people who do the work, to find what to build first and what to leave alone.

  2. Fixed quote and plan

    A clear scope, timeline and fixed price, broken into stages you approve one at a time.

  3. Build in tested steps

    Small releases with automated tests, tracked on your live project board, so you see real progress every week.

  4. Move in and support

    We bring your data across from the old system, train your team and support it, month to month, with no lock-in.

FAQ

Custom software questions

Can’t see your question? Ask us directly.

Should we build custom software or buy something off the shelf?

If an off-the-shelf product does the job, buy it, and we’ll tell you so. Custom software makes sense when the way you work is what sets you apart, when per-user fees keep climbing, or when you’re stitching several tools together by hand.

How much does custom software cost?

It depends on what it needs to do, so we start with discovery, from $2,900 plus GST, to map the work and agree the scope. Then you get a fixed price for the build before any build work starts.

Can you move our data out of spreadsheets and old systems?

Yes. We plan the move as part of the project, check the data with you, and run the old and new side by side until you’re confident to switch.

How do you keep our data secure?

Access is designed up front so each person sees only what they need, your data stays in accounts you own, and every release runs automated tests. We design around your privacy obligations, including the Australian Privacy Principles.

Who owns the software?

You do. The code, designs, accounts and documentation are yours, with no lock-in.

Will you support it after launch?

Yes. Monitoring, updates, fixes and improvements, month to month. Stay as long as it’s useful to you.
