Custom apps for the work that no product fits.

Every business has one process that off the shelf software has never handled properly. It usually lives in a spreadsheet, an inbox and one person's head. That is the work a custom app is for.

When a custom app makes sense

  • A spreadsheet runs a key part of the business and keeps breaking
  • Staff type the same information into two or three systems
  • You have tried several products and each one covers only part of the job
  • The way you work is your advantage, and standard software would flatten it

What we build

Job and booking systems, quoting tools, approval flows, field apps for staff on site, customer portals and internal tools. Web apps that work on a phone, a tablet and a desktop from the same build.

Where an existing product already does the job well, we will say so. Building software you could have bought is not a good use of your money.

How a build runs

You send a brief. We study your business and show you a first look at what we would build. We then agree a fixed scope and quote for the first stage.

Your team uses the first version early. Each stage is delivered before the next one begins, so you are never waiting months to see whether it works.

After launch

You own the software, the data and the accounts it runs on. We stay on under a monthly plan if you want us to: upkeep keeps it secure and running, and growth keeps improving it as the business changes.

Questions

How much does a custom app cost in Australia?

It depends on what the app must do, how many people use it and what it connects to. We scope it with you first and give a fixed quote in Australian dollars for each stage, so you always know the cost of the next step before it starts.

How long does a custom app take?

A focused first version usually takes weeks. Larger systems are delivered in stages over a few months, with working software in your hands throughout.

Should we build custom or buy a product?

Buy when a product fits most of how you work. Build when the gaps cost you real time every week, or when your process is what sets you apart. We will give you a straight answer either way.

Do we own the code?

Yes. The code, the data and the hosting accounts are yours.
