Software engineering studio
Making smartsolutions.
We build seamless, scalable software — web platforms, mobile products, applied AI and blockchain infrastructure — delivered on time, with the scope held steady from the first call to launch.

The system
One team across the whole path.
Requests arrive from every surface your customers use, pass through systems we design to stay fast under load, and fan out to the cloud, data and AI services that do the work. We own that whole line.
How we work
Four stages, no surprises.
Most overruns are definition failures, not engineering failures. This is the sequence we use to keep a fixed scope genuinely fixed.
- 01Week 1
Scoping and technical discovery
We map the problem before we price it. That means reading the existing code where there is any, talking to the people who will use the thing, and writing down the constraints that will actually bite — data volumes, integrations, compliance, the deadline behind the deadline.
- Technical discovery document
- Architecture options with trade-offs
- Fixed scope and a dated delivery plan
- 02Weeks 2–3
Architecture and a working slice
Before the bulk of the build, we ship one thin vertical slice that runs end to end in a real environment. It is the fastest honest test of whether the plan survives contact with the codebase, and it turns the riskiest assumptions into facts early.
- Running environment and deployment pipeline
- One feature working end to end
- Revised estimate if the slice found surprises
- 03Weeks 4+
Build in reviewable increments
Work lands in small, reviewable increments behind a pipeline that gates on real signals. You see progress in a running environment every week rather than in a status document, and scope changes are priced as they arrive instead of absorbed silently.
- Weekly releases to a staging environment
- Automated tests on the paths that matter
- An open backlog you can reprioritise
- 04Final phase
Launch and handover
We ship with monitoring already in place, not bolted on afterwards. Handover means your team can run, debug and extend the system without us — documented at the seams, with the on-call runbook written by the people who built it.
- Production launch and observability dashboards
- Runbook and architecture documentation
- Handover sessions with your engineers
Sectors
Where we have done this before.
Logistics & supply chain
Operations platforms, live tracking, and the integrations between systems that were never designed to talk.
Financial services
Consumer and back-office products where correctness, auditability and uptime are the requirement, not a feature.
Professional services
Document-heavy workflows, client portals, and the automation that gives billable hours back to the people billing them.
Healthcare & wellbeing
Patient-facing apps and clinical tooling built to the privacy standards the sector actually requires.
Retail & marketplaces
Storefronts, inventory and fulfilment systems that stay fast through the peak you are planning for.
Blockchain & Web3
Settlement contracts, indexing infrastructure and the monitoring that makes on-chain systems operable.
Questions
The things people ask first.
If yours is not here, ask it directly — we answer scoping questions before there is a contract in sight.
Ask us anything01
How much does a software project with PLANITECH cost?
It depends on scope, and we will not pretend otherwise. What we do commit to is pricing only after a technical discovery week, so the number reflects the real problem rather than a guess. Most engagements start in the tens of thousands and scale with the size of the system; we will tell you early if your budget and your requirements do not meet.02
How long does it take to build a web or mobile application?
A focused product with a clear scope typically reaches production in three to five months. You will see something running end to end within the first fortnight, so progress is visible long before launch. Larger platform work runs longer and is split into releases rather than one delivery date.03
Do you work with companies outside Australia?
Yes. We are based in Melbourne and work with teams across Australia, and remotely with clients in other time zones. Engagements include a fixed weekly overlap window so there is always live time for decisions rather than a twenty-four hour round trip on every question.04
What happens if the scope changes mid-project?
It gets priced and scheduled as a change, visibly. We hold the original scope steady precisely so that additions are a decision you make with the cost in front of you, rather than something that quietly consumes the timeline. Nothing gets absorbed silently.05
Can you work with our existing codebase and team?
Frequently. A large share of our work is modernising systems that already carry real traffic, or adding capacity alongside an in-house team. We start by reading the code and the incident history, and we write in the idiom of the codebase we are joining rather than imposing our own.06
Do you provide support after launch?
Yes, and we also make it possible for you not to need us. Every project ships with monitoring, documentation and a handover so your engineers can run it. Ongoing support and retained capacity are available where you would rather we stayed close.07
Which technologies do you build with?
Primarily TypeScript, React and Next.js on the web; React Native, Flutter, Swift and Kotlin on mobile; Node.js, Python and Go on the server; and AWS, Google Cloud, Terraform and Kubernetes underneath. For AI work we integrate hosted models with retrieval pipelines and evaluation harnesses. We choose for the workload, not for fashion.08
Do you sign NDAs and can you work under our security requirements?
Yes to NDAs, as a matter of course. We are also used to working inside client security constraints — managed devices, restricted environments, audit requirements — and we will tell you upfront where a constraint will materially change the timeline.
Let's build something that holds up.
Tell us the shape of the problem. We’ll come back with an honest read on scope, approach and timeline.
