CUSTOM SOFTWARE & MOBILE APPS, BUILT FAST
We combine experienced product people with AI-accelerated development to build software, mobile apps, portals and SaaS products in weeks — at a fraction of what a conventional agency charges.
The problem
These are the six situations we see most often. Nearly every project starts as one of them.
Every quote is rebuilt from scratch in a document, then priced from memory. Nobody knows which ones are still open.
The answer already exists in three places internally. Someone spends an hour a day retyping it into replies.
It has grown for years and now holds the business together. If that person leaves, so does the process.
Times get written down twice and get missed. Chasing money takes longer than doing the work.
The idea is clear and there are people willing to pay. Quotes to build it have all come back too high.
Job sheets filled in on site, bookings made on the move, deliveries scanned at the door. Some things only work on a phone.
What we build
Different shapes, same approach — scoped in writing, priced up front, live in weeks.
Client portals
Your customers sign in and see exactly where things stand — job status, documents, invoices and history — without emailing anyone to ask.
Every question answered in the portal is a phone call your team doesn't take, and it makes a small business look like a considerably larger one.
Operations & job systems
We take the process that runs your business out of a fragile spreadsheet and put it into a system with proper records, permissions and history.
Staff see their own work, managers see everything, and nothing depends on one person remembering how the tabs fit together.
SaaS products
We build the smallest version of your product that a customer would actually pay for — sign-up, the core workflow, billing and an admin view.
You get something real to sell and learn from in weeks, not a twelve-month build that guesses at what the market wants.
Our process
Here's the shape of a typical project.
01
2–4 days
A 30-minute call, then a written document: what it does, every screen, the timeline and the fixed price. Free, and yours to keep.
02
1–6 weeks
You get a working link in the first week and watch it change daily. Two short check-ins a week, no status meetings.
03
3–5 days
Testing, your feedback, your domain, live. We hand over the code and every account in your name.
04
30 days, then optional
Thirty days of fixes included. After that, a Care Plan or a clean handover to your own team.
Pricing
Every project is quoted at a fixed price once the scope is written. No hourly billing, no change-order arguments.

Selected work
What the business was doing before, what we built, and what changed.
MOBILE LEARNING PLATFORM (LMS) - IOS
Skillview connects learners with expert mentors through video courses they can browse, buy, and complete on their phone. Progress tracking, saved playlists, and a built-in chat keep students moving from first lesson to certificate.
HR MANAGEMENT PLATFORM
Wishbone HR gives people teams one place to manage their whole workforce - employee records, attendance, onboarding checklists, and payroll all live under a single directory. Filter, sort, and export the full roster in seconds, with live headcount stats across active, inactive, and onboarding staff.
CAMPGROUND BOOKING - WEB APP
Explorely bundles the whole road trip into one booking flow. A guided step-by-step panel tracks progress from dates to final review, with instant-book listings, nightly and total pricing, and distance shown upfront.
Common questions
Yes, deliberately, and it's a large part of why the price is what it is. AI handles scaffolding, boilerplate, test coverage and refactoring — the mechanical work that used to consume most of a development budget. Every line is reviewed, tested and deployed by us. You're paying for judgment and accountability, not typing speed.
You do, in full, on final payment. Source code, database, hosting accounts and domain. No licence fees and no proprietary framework you can only maintain through us.
You take the repository and go. The stack is standard and widely used, so any competent developer can pick it up. We do a handover call and leave documentation.
Payments are handled entirely by Stripe and never touch our systems. Sign-in uses managed authentication. The database uses row-level permissions so users only ever see their own records, connections are encrypted, and backups run daily.
We're based in New Zealand and work with clients across Europe, North America, Australia and Asia. Almost all of the work happens over video calls and a shared link, and we hold overlap hours for whichever time zone you're in.
Many don't exactly. Book a call and we'll scope it properly — the written scope is free either way.
Thirty minutes, no pitch. You'll leave the call knowing roughly what it costs and how long it takes — even if you never hire us.
