We make your existing software work harder
Most businesses don’t need new software. They need what they already pay for to talk to each other — and to do the things it never offered.
Engineering · Sydney · Austin · Los Angeles
Custom AI systems, internal tools, and the integrations between them — for businesses running on software they cannot take offline. Working software in week one, handover in about six weeks.
What we take on
Most businesses don’t need new software. They need what they already pay for to talk to each other — and to do the things it never offered.
Off-the-shelf software cannot solve every problem. You bring the idea or the pain point; we scope it, prototype it, and build it into a product.
Marine services, dental practices, finance — the same pattern every time: ageing, business-critical software nobody wants to break. We modernise it and build around it live.
Engineering
True of every build we hand over.
QuickBooks Desktop, ServiceM8, DocuWare, Airtable, Slack. No rip-and-replace, no migration you did not ask for.
Feature flags, a staging environment that mirrors production, and an end-to-end run against real records before anyone depends on it. Then the flag goes on.
The code, the environments, the credentials, the written procedures. Nothing about the handover depends on keeping us.
Sydney, Austin and Los Angeles. As one city signs off, the next is already awake on your problem.
No account manager relaying questions, no ticket number where a name should be.
How we work
The same six steps every time. What changes is how long step three takes.
Map the handoffs nobody documented.
We trace the real path work takes between people and tools, including the steps that only live in someone’s head.
Pick the unglamorous bottleneck first.
One choke point, defined tightly enough to build against. Everything else is written down for later rather than argued about now.
Working software in week one.
Real software in front of real people in the first week, so feedback shapes the build instead of arriving after it.
Meet the systems where they already live.
QuickBooks Desktop, ServiceM8, DocuWare, Airtable, Slack — none of them designed to be connected to. We build around them live rather than asking you to take one offline.
Prove it before you switch it on.
New behaviour ships behind a flag into a staging environment that mirrors production, and runs end to end against real records before anyone depends on it.
Handover is a start, not an exit.
Changes keep landing after launch. On Onboard Marine, a mid-service variation flow was built because the client asked for it in a morning meeting.
Handover typically lands around six weeks in. One integration is shorter; five services and a desktop accounting package is longer. We tell you which you have after discovery, not before.
Systems in production
Most of our work sits behind an NDA. These three don’t.
Marine servicing · Sydney
The quote starts with the parts, so the system does too.
Equipment distribution · United States
Six services keep QuickBooks Desktop, Airtable and DocuWare in step.
Waterfront restaurant · Mosman
A fifteen-page rebuild onto a zero-dependency Node server, then the parts that change on their own.
A first call is 30 minutes and costs nothing. You describe where the work gets stuck; we tell you whether it is worth building — and say so when it is not.
