    Software consultancy

    Before you buy or build, we work out what your business needs and tell you which option fits, including when off-the-shelf software is the better answer.

    DevOps as a service

    We set up deployment pipelines, infrastructure as code and auto scaling hosting on AWS, so new releases go out without downtime.

    On-site servers

    Servers, storage and networks in your own office for backups, development and non-critical services, so you pay less for the cloud.

We're a software development team in Auckland. We build custom software and apps for New Zealand businesses, set up AI tools that work with your own data, and host and support what we build. If you don't need custom code, we'll tell you.

  • A fixed price for each stage of the work
  • We check in with you when something unexpected comes up
  • Hosting on your own servers, in the cloud or in a data centre you choose
  • Maintenance as it's needed, or on a retainer

Recent work

A few of the projects behind the services above.

NZ$100,000 a year off a cloud bill

We moved a business's development environments and non-critical services from the cloud onto an on-site server. Over a year, that saved more than NZ$100,000 in cloud costs.

On-site server support

AI in a publishing business's development team

For a legacy publishing business, we brought AI into the development team for code review, bug fixes and refactoring, then connected the company's data to AI models through an MCP server, so staff can query it from their AI agent.

AI consulting

A dashboard that caught AI scrapers

We built an internal dashboard that shows where a company's website traffic comes from. It helped the company fight AI bot abuse and scraping.

Custom software development

A booking site for car servicing, from idea to MVP

We built the MVP for a New Zealand booking site for car servicing and repairs. Drivers compare mechanics on price, rating and availability, then book a time online.

MVP development

A SaaS product of our own

We built a subscription service that gives home and office servers their own public IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, even on internet connections that share an address (CG-NAT). Customers sign up, pay monthly and manage their addresses and firewall ports from a dashboard.

MVP and SaaS development

Software for a digital road sign

We built an Android app for programming a digital road sign, covering images, schedules and settings, plus the software on the sign itself. It reads the vehicle speed from the sign's radar and shows a custom message when a driver goes over the set speed.

App development

A community on XenForo, extended

For one community site, XenForo, an off-the-shelf forum platform, did the core job. We set it up and built custom integrations and modifications on top, instead of building a forum from scratch.

Software consultancy

Software development questions we get asked

How much does software development cost in Auckland?

Our custom software and MVP projects typically cost between NZ$8,000 and NZ$50,000, depending on size. Every stage has a fixed price, agreed before the work starts.

How do you price a project?

We go through your requirements, then propose a solution with a fixed price and a time frame for each stage. If something unexpected comes up, we check with you before going further.

How long does a project take?

It depends on the size of the project. We give you a time frame with our proposal, and we tell you straight away if anything changes it.

Who owns the code?

We're flexible. Ownership of the code is agreed with you at the start. We publish apps under your own App Store and Google Play accounts, so the app stays yours.

Where will our software be hosted?

You choose: on-site on your own servers, in a cloud account, or in a data centre you pick. We set up the hosting and deployment for you.

Do you work with businesses outside Auckland?

Yes. We're based in Auckland and work with businesses across New Zealand and further afield.

What if we don't need custom software?

Then we'll tell you. Sometimes an off-the-shelf product, or one with a custom integration, is the better answer. Our software consultancy work starts with exactly that question.

What happens after launch?

We can host the software and handle maintenance as it comes up, or work on a retainer. If you'd rather host it yourself, we can set that up too.

Can AI tools work with our own data?

Yes. We set up AI tools connected to your own data and hosted where you choose. If data can't leave your network, we run open models on your own hardware. Our AI consulting page has more.
