What you get

Software that fits your workflow

Four things we build into every custom software engagement.

  • Built for your workflow

    We map your actual processes before writing code — the result fits you, not the other way round.

  • Security from day one

    Encryption, proper auth, role-based access, and an audit trail. Not bolted on at launch.

  • Performance that holds

    Production-grade architecture with sensible caching and database indexes from the start.

  • Scales with you

    Multi-tenant-ready, horizontally scalable, and deployable on whatever cloud suits your budget.

Who this is for

Use cases

  • Teams outgrowing off-the-shelf tools that almost fit but never quite do
  • Businesses with manual processes that could be replaced by a custom platform
  • Products that need Stripe, EPOS, or AI integrations wired in from the start
  • Companies building their first internal tool with a real data model
  • Startups who need a multi-tenant SaaS foundation, not a single-tenant hack
  • Organisations replacing legacy systems with a modern, maintainable stack

How we work

Our process

Four phases. Spec before code. Staging link from day one. Agile without the theatre.

  1. Discovery

    Workshop + written spec. We map the actual problem, not the assumed one.

  2. Design

    Architecture diagram, wireframes, and interactive mockups you can click through.

  3. Build

    Weekly demos, live staging link, honest status. Agile without the theatre.

  4. Launch

    Deploy, train your team, hand over docs. 30-day window where fixes are free.

Proof of work

Real projects, real code

We're building our own product in the open. Here's what that looks like.

Before you ask

Frequently asked questions

How long does custom software development take?

Most engagements run 3–6 months. Simple admin tools can ship in 2 months, while multi-tenant platforms with integrations typically take 4–6. You get a realistic timeline in writing after the discovery workshop — before you commit.

Do you provide source code and documentation?

Yes. You own the code, the cloud account, and the docs. No vendor lock-in, no hostage pricing. If you want to move the project in-house or to another team, everything you need is already yours.

Can you integrate with our existing systems?

Integration is usually 30–50% of the work on a custom build. We handle REST and GraphQL APIs, database migrations, webhook setups, and third-party services like Stripe, Salesforce, Xero, and Square. Legacy SOAP and file-drop integrations are slower but doable.

What happens after launch?

Thirty days of free bug fixes post-launch. After that, you can hire us on a retainer for maintenance and new features, hand the codebase to an in-house team with a proper walkthrough, or take it on yourself — the docs are written for that.

Fixed price or time & materials?

Both are available. Fixed price suits clearly-scoped projects with stable requirements. T&M with a monthly cap works better for evolving products — you get faster delivery without the overhead of change-order paperwork.
