Where a custom build pays off

The apps, portals and intranets businesses ask us for most

When your team is holding things together with spreadsheets, email and ageing tools, a purpose-built app usually earns its keep. These are the ones we get asked for most.

Apps to replace spreadsheets

A critical spreadsheet becomes a proper app with the right fields, validation and an audit trail, so it stops breaking and nobody overwrites it.

One reliable app, not a fragile spreadsheet

Client and customer portals

Clients log in to see their own data, submit requests and upload files, while your team stays in control of who sees what.

Clients self-serve, fewer status emails

Staff intranets and hubs

Documents, policies, news and links live in one searchable SharePoint hub, with the right people seeing the right things.

One home for everything your team needs

Field and mobile apps

Your team captures jobs, photos and sign-offs on a phone or tablet, on site and offline, instead of on paper or a clipboard.

Capture data on site, not on paper

Modernising legacy systems

An ageing Access database or old system gets rebuilt on a modern platform, with your data migrated and the old one retired safely.

A supported system you can build on

Internal request and tracking apps

Bookings, asset registers, job tracking and approvals move out of inboxes and spreadsheets into one app your team actually uses.

One place to log, track and find it

Need something more bespoke? We build custom web apps

A requirement too specific for any off-the-shelf product. We design and build a web app around your exact process, run it securely on Azure or in your own environment and support it in production.

Discovery

We get to know your business, your systems and what you're trying to achieve, then show you what's genuinely worth building and what isn't.

2

Scope

We pick the right platform and approach, then set the deliverable, timeline and a fixed price upfront.

3

Build

We build it in your own environment, securely and prove it works on real cases before it goes live.

4

Handover

We roll it out, train your team on how to use it and document it, so it is not a black box only we understand.

Support

We monitor, tune and improve as your needs change. Ad hoc or ongoing, never locked into a contract.

Common questions about custom apps, portals and intranets

Everything you need to know before building a custom app, portal or intranet. Got a question we haven't covered? Just ask.

Talk to us directly

What kinds of custom apps do you build?

Internal business apps for job tracking, inventory, approvals and field data capture. Client-facing portals for project visibility, document sharing and invoicing. SharePoint intranets for document management, policies and team communication. Custom web apps for industry-specific workflows that off-the-shelf tools can't handle. If your team is running a process on spreadsheets, paper or disconnected tools, we can build something better. Book a free initial consultation and we'll tell you what's possible.

Should we use Power Apps or build a custom web app?

It depends on your requirements. Power Apps is faster and cheaper for most internal business apps, especially if you already use Microsoft 365. It connects natively to SharePoint, Dataverse, Teams and Power Automate. Custom web apps make sense when you need complete control over design, complex logic or a public-facing application that goes beyond what Power Pages offers. We'll recommend the right approach during the initial consultation. Learn more about Power Apps.

Can you replace our Microsoft Access database?

Yes. We migrate Access databases, VBA applications and legacy systems into modern platforms like Power Apps, Dataverse and SQL Server. We preserve your business logic, migrate your data and give your team a supported, scalable solution that doesn't depend on a single person or an unsupported file format. No data loss and no downtime. Learn more about legacy modernisation.

What does a SharePoint intranet project involve?

We start with understanding how your team works, what documents and tools they need access to and where the current pain points are. Then we design the site structure, build out pages, set up document libraries with managed permissions, configure search and navigation and integrate with Teams and Outlook. We also handle training and handover so your team can maintain it. Everything runs on your existing Microsoft 365 tenant. Learn more about SharePoint intranets.

Do you build client-facing portals?

Yes. We build external portals using Power Pages and custom web frameworks that give your clients secure access to their project status, documents, invoices and communications. Each client sees only their own data with role-based permissions. It reduces the time your team spends on manual updates and gives your clients self-service access. Learn more about client portals.

How much does a custom app project cost in Australia?

It depends on complexity and scope. A simple Power App for field data capture is a very different engagement from a multi-system client portal. Every project starts with a free initial consultation where we understand your requirements. Then we provide a clear proposal with defined deliverables and fixed pricing. You'll always know the cost before any work begins. Book a free initial consultation.

Do you provide ongoing support after the app is built?

Yes. We provide ad hoc or ongoing support including bug fixes, feature additions, user training and platform updates. Most clients start with ad hoc support and move to a retainer as their app usage grows and they need regular enhancements. We also provide full handover documentation if your internal team wants to manage it themselves. Talk to us about support options.

How long does a typical project take?

It varies by scope. A focused Power App might take a couple of weeks. A SharePoint intranet for a larger organisation is typically a few weeks to a couple of months. Custom web apps and portals with integrations are larger engagements. We confirm the expected timeline upfront in our proposal before any work begins. Get in touch for a timeline estimate.

Let's build the right app for your team.

Tell us what's not working and we'll recommend the right approach. Whether it's a Power App, a client portal, a SharePoint intranet or something custom, every engagement starts with a free initial consultation.
