What we do

Six jobs we get asked for most, with what's involved and how long each takes. If what you need isn't here, ask — it's usually a version of one of these.

01

Answers from your own numbers

A way to ask questions about your business in plain English and get the figure back from live data. “What did we make on that product line since March?” “Which customers haven't ordered in three months?” “What's owed to us and how old is it?”

It reads across all your systems at once — Xero or MYOB, your stock or inventory software, your job management system — so you get one answer instead of three exports to reconcile.

Read-only, so nothing can be changed or deleted. The data stays in a database in your own cloud account. Access is set per person: finance figures can be limited to the people who need them.

Good if
You wait on reports, or one person is the only one who can pull the numbers.
Typically
One to three weeks, depending on how many systems are involved.
Read-only Your cloud Per-person access
02

Private apps for your team

A web app built for one job your business does every day: tracking work through stages, logging site checks, approving purchases, managing a roster, recording compliance sign-offs.

Staff sign in with the Microsoft or Google work account they already use. There's no new password and no per-person monthly licence fee. It runs in your own cloud account and isn't reachable from the public internet.

The first app sets up the foundation. Anything added later — a second app, a new screen, a report — is quicker and cheaper because that groundwork is already done.

Good if
A shared spreadsheet is doing a job it shouldn't, or off-the-shelf software doesn't fit your process.
Typically
Two to four weeks for the first app.
No new logins No per-seat fees Off the public internet
03

Connecting your systems

Links between the systems you already run, so information moves across automatically. A job marked complete in one system updates the other. Stock figures match what was actually invoiced. Customer details entered once appear everywhere.

We work with the common ones — Xero, MYOB, Cin7, Unleashed, HubSpot, Shopify, simPRO, Chargebee and Stripe — and can build a connection for anything with an API.

If you sell software yourself, this is also the work that makes your product usable from AI assistants like Claude and ChatGPT, with proper sign-in and limits on what they can reach.

Good if
The same information is entered twice, or your reports never quite reconcile.
Typically
One to three weeks per connection.

Calculators and quoting tools

An interactive tool on your website that answers the question customers ask before they'll call: payback period on a system, estimated cost for a job, finance repayments, sizing, running costs.

Built in your branding, works properly on a phone, and collects the customer's details at the point they're most interested. You get the enquiry with their inputs attached, so the first call starts from real numbers.

These are the quickest thing we build and the easiest to measure — you can see how many people used it and how many enquiries came out of it.

Good if
Customers want a rough price or payback figure before they'll talk to you.
Typically
Three to five days.
Your branding Mobile first Captures the enquiry
05

Websites, built and looked after

A new website, or we take over the one you already have. Either way the ongoing part is the point: you send through a change and it's done. New prices, a new staff member, a service you no longer offer, photos from last week's job.

Hosting, backups, security updates and domain renewals are handled. The site loads fast on a phone and is set up so Google can index it properly.

Your domain name and hosting account stay in your business's name. If you move to someone else later, everything transfers across.

Good if
Your site is out of date and updating it never gets to the top of the list.
Typically
One to three weeks to build. Ongoing care is a monthly fee.

Automating repetitive work

Work that takes hours and needs no decisions: copying figures between systems, producing the same report every Monday, chasing outstanding paperwork, renaming and filing documents, sending routine reminders.

We start by watching how the job is done now, then set up the parts a computer can take over. Anything involving money, a customer, or a judgement call keeps a person approving it.

A task that took half a day usually ends up as ten minutes of checking.

Good if
Someone spends hours each week on work that requires no thought.
Typically
One to three weeks per process.

Also

Other work we take on

Organising company documents

Files spread across email, shared drives and personal laptops, brought into one structured place people can search, with the filing kept up automatically.

Setting up cloud accounts securely

Reviewing and fixing how your AWS or Microsoft accounts are configured: who has access to what, private networking, and backups tested by actually restoring them.

Getting your team using AI properly

Saved, repeatable instructions for the tasks you do often, so everyone gets the same quality of output. Your team can add their own afterwards.

Building it for a share instead of a fee

If you have a product idea and customers to sell it to, we'll consider building it in exchange for a share of what it earns rather than an invoice up front.

This only works where the customers or the audience already exist. We can build the product, but we can't sell it into a market that isn't there yet.
