Mobile apps that actually solve your business problems

Most businesses don't need fancy features. They need software that handles the daily grind without falling apart. We build mobile solutions for Australian companies who've had enough of generic tools that almost fit but never quite work.

We build what you actually need

Three years ago, we got tired of watching businesses struggle with off-the-shelf software that promised everything and delivered headaches. So we started building mobile solutions from scratch, designed around real workflows.

Built for Australian conditions

Local accounting standards. NBN limitations. ACCC compliance. Payment systems that work with Australian banks. Time zones that don't assume everyone's in California.

When a Brisbane logistics company needed an app for their drivers, the international platforms couldn't handle Australia Post integration or rural connectivity dropouts. We built something that worked offline and synced when signal returned.

That's become our thing. Taking what actually happens in Australian businesses and making it work smoothly.

How we turn problems into working software

No mysteries here. Just a straightforward process we've refined over dozens of projects with Melbourne retailers, Sydney consultancies, and Perth manufacturers.

1

Figure out what's broken

We spend a couple of weeks watching how your team actually works. The shortcuts they take. The workarounds they've invented. The Excel sheets held together with prayers.

Build a working prototype

Within four weeks, you'll have something to click through. Not pretty, but functional enough to see if we're on the right track before anyone commits serious money.

3

Let your team break it

Hand the prototype to your most skeptical staff member. They'll find every edge case we missed. Better to discover problems when they're cheap to fix.

Why we stopped doing everything

For the first year, we said yes to everything. E-commerce platforms, booking systems, social networks. Turns out spreading yourself thin just makes everyone unhappy.

Now we focus on custom mobile solutions for businesses with specific problems. The warehouse manager who needs offline inventory tracking. The field service company tired of paper forms. The consultant who wants client data accessible during site visits.

These aren't sexy problems. But they're real ones, and solving them properly makes a tangible difference to someone's workday.

We also stop projects when they're not working. Last year we refunded a client after six weeks because our solution wasn't going to be better than what they already had. Hard conversation, but the right call.
