Internal applications & tools
Replace Workarounds With Software Built for You
Some processes are too specific for standard software and too important for spreadsheets. We build internal applications, portals, dashboards, and workflows that fit your business exactly — and evolve as it grows.

Scope
What’s involved
Administrative dashboards
A single view of what’s happening across the business — jobs, orders, staff, and money — instead of chasing it across systems.
Customer & staff portals
Self-service areas where customers or staff can log in, view information, submit requests, and track progress.
Bespoke CRM-style tools
Lead and customer management that works the way your team sells and serves — not the other way round.
Workflow management systems
Step-by-step processes with the right information in front of the right person, so nothing falls between the cracks.
Replacing spreadsheets
The fragile spreadsheet that keeps the business running, rebuilt as software with validation, history, and sensible permissions.

Investment · guide pricing
Custom software — staged so you only pay for what earns its keep
Guide pricing in NZ dollars (GST exclusive). Scoped and quoted in stages after discovery. We map the workflow on paper first (often via a discovery audit) and build the smallest useful slice first — so you see value before the next stage is green-lit.
Starter App
Est.NZ$15,900
One painful workaround replaced — one portal or workflow that removes double entry.
- Single workflow (quote / job / intake / approvals)
- 1 portal or dashboard + role-based access
- Validation, history, and sensible permissions
- Import from your spreadsheet + handover
- Docs & training for rollout
Best for: the spreadsheet one person guards.
Ops Platform
Est.NZ$37,000
The operation around a core process — dashboards and approvals that keep work moving.
- 2–3 connected workflows with shared data
- Staff & customer views where needed
- Notifications, assignments & approvals
- Connectors scoped: CRM, accounting, email, files

Est.NZ$59,000From
Multi-role operations with reporting — quoted after mapping the full flow.
- Multiple roles, permissions & audit trail
- Reporting and operational oversight
- Integration glue to remaining systems
- Migration + staged expansion without rebuild

Best for: the system that is the business.
Guide pricing — staged scope and price confirmed in proposal after scoping. Discovery audit recommended before custom builds to confirm buy-vs-build per stage. Typically staged billing: deposit then per-stage gates (confirmed in SOW). You own the code and data.
Guide pricing in NZ dollars (NZD) — final price confirmed in your written proposal after a free 15-minute scoping call. Charged in NZD.
Approach
How we approach custom software
We start with the work itself: what happens from the first trigger to the final result, where the delays are, and who does what. The software is designed around that flow, not around a feature checklist.
We build in small, useful stages. You see working software early, use it, and steer it — rather than waiting months for something you’ve only seen on paper.
Questions
Common questions
Why not just buy an off-the-shelf product?
Sometimes you should. When the product genuinely fits, we’ll tell you and set it up. Custom software is worth it when your process differs enough that standard tools force you to work around them.
Will my team be able to use it?
That’s the design target. We involve real users during design and build, keep interfaces simple, and provide training and documentation as the tool rolls out.
Is custom software expensive?
Less than you might think, because modern development tools make tailored builds far faster than they used to be. We scope tightly and build in stages, so you only pay for what earns its keep.
