Software Development Perth
from a team you can meet across the table.
Custom software development for Perth businesses: new systems and web apps built around how you work, the software you already have taken over and supported, your apps connected, and your data moved when you change systems.
Our office is in the Perth CBD. One fixed price before work starts, the founder on every project, and the code handed over in your name.
- Australian Team, no offshore development
- Onshore Australian data centres
- Fixed Price before work starts
- Perth CBD St Georges Terrace office
Built here. Your data stays here.
- No offshore development. Everything is written by our own team in Australia. Nothing is subcontracted overseas.
- Your data stays onshore. Hosted in Australia, on infrastructure you own, under Australian law.
- Every state, not just ours. Perth, Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide and everywhere between.
01 / 04 New business software
Business software made for the way your Perth team works
A Malaga electrical contractor quoting in Word, scheduling on a whiteboard and invoicing in Xero. A Welshpool fabrication shop tracking shutdown crews in a spreadsheet only one person understands. Both need one system that follows the work they already do.
As a Perth software company, we sit down with you in the CBD or at your site, map the process, then design and build the system around it. For one Perth electrical contractor that meant quoting, scheduling, field capture and automatic Xero invoicing in one system, with revenue up 15 percent and no more paper.
- Job, quoting and shutdown scheduling systems
- Web apps and portals for customers and crews
- Field apps your technicians use on site
- Connected to Xero, MYOB and your payroll
02 / 04 Upgrade, update or support
The system you depend on, taken over and kept running
An Access database in an Osborne Park office holds fifteen years of customer history, and the person who built it has retired. A Jandakot distributor has a web portal that slows to a crawl every end of financial year. Neither business needs to start from nothing.
We take the system on, learn what it really does and get the code, logins and backups into your name. Then we fix it, add what your team has been asking for, or rebuild it in stages, as we did when we moved a Perth sporting club from a 15-year-old Access database to a web platform.
- Take over software another developer built
- Fixes, new features and faster reports
- Security updates and ongoing support
- Access, Excel and old desktop apps moved to the web
03 / 04 Connect your apps
Xero, MYOB and your field apps, sharing the same records
A WA field service company with 30 technicians was keying job details into Xero by hand. Once its field app and Xero were connected, admin time fell by 90 percent. For a WA mining services fleet, we brought FMT fuel data from three Pilbara sites into Xero.
We connect the systems you already pay for, such as Xero, MYOB, ServiceM8, simPRO and HubSpot, so a record entered once reaches everywhere it is needed. Anything that does not line up is held for a person to check, not pushed through.
- Field apps, job systems and accounting
- Fuel, plant and timesheet data from site
- Mismatches held for a person to check
- Built on your accounts, in your name
04 / 04 Change systems
Changing systems, with every balance checked first
A West Perth practice still on Reckon, or a manufacturer still on Dynamics GP. The hard part of the move is not the export. It is finding out at the end of the financial year that the balances did not come across the way everyone assumed.
We have moved a Perth professional services firm from Reckon Accounts Enterprise to Xero and a Perth manufacturer from Dynamics GP to Business Central. Customers, suppliers, open invoices and history come across, and the old and new systems are compared before you switch.
- MYOB, Reckon and QuickBooks to Xero
- Dynamics GP to Business Central
- Old and new compared before cutover
- A switch date set around your month end
How it works
From a first coffee to support after go live
Six steps for every Perth project, whether it is new software or a system you already run. The price is agreed before anything is built.
6 steps, from first call to support
-
A short call, or a coffee in the CBD
Fifteen minutes on the phone, or a coffee near St Georges Terrace if you would rather talk face to face. You explain what is not working, and we tell you plainly whether we can help.
-
Scoped at your site, then one fixed price
For most Perth projects we come to you, whether that is an office in West Perth or a workshop in Welshpool, and watch the work being done. You then get a written scope and one fixed price.
-
Click through it before it is built
You try the main screens before any code is written. Moving a button now takes minutes. Moving it after the build takes far longer.
-
Working software every fortnight
Each fortnight you see new parts working with your own data, in person or on a call. You steer it while it is still easy to change.
-
Go live and train your team
We set it live, train your staff on site and hand over the code, accounts and documents in your business name.
-
Looked after once it is live
Fixes, updates and new features when you need them, from the same people who built it, a short drive away.
Meet the person
Built in Perth by the person you meet
The founder scopes every Perth project at your office or site and builds it, through to training your team on launch day.
HELLO PEOPLE designs, builds and looks after AI, software, app and data solutions for Australian businesses, with senior expertise on every project and a scope agreed before work starts. For software, that means starting with how your business runs, not with the code.
Since 2007, HELLO PEOPLE has delivered more than 100 projects from Perth for small and medium businesses across Australia: custom software and apps, system integrations, data migrations, reporting and dashboards, and AI that works inside the systems a business already runs.
I lead every engagement myself. I trained in accounting before moving into IT, hold accounting and IT professional qualifications and an MBA, and bring more than 20 years of experience across sales, service delivery, inventory and compliance. I am also a PhD candidate in AI at Curtin University, researching retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), so the technology is always judged by what it does for the business.
-
An old-fashioned service
Small and boutique. The person who scopes your software is the person who builds it, and the same person is there on launch day.
-
Quick responses
No ticket queue and no account manager in between. You hear back within one business day, usually sooner.
-
A long-term partner
The first release is the start, not the end. When you need the next system, integration or report, you call the same person, who already knows your business.

What Perth owners ask about software development
Which software company in Perth can build custom software for a small business?
HELLO PEOPLE is a Perth software company at Level 16, 240 St Georges Terrace that builds custom software for small and medium businesses: job and quoting systems, customer portals, field apps and internal tools. It quotes one fixed price before work starts, the founder builds every project, and the code is handed over in the client's name.
Who can build a web app or customer portal for a Perth business?
HELLO PEOPLE builds web applications and portals for Perth businesses, such as hire portals, booking systems, crew rosters and customer self service. They run in a browser on any device and connect to Xero, MYOB and the other systems the business already uses. Each one is scoped in person and quoted at one fixed price.
How much does custom software development cost in Perth?
It depends on what the software has to do, how many people use it and which systems it connects to, so a general figure would mislead. HELLO PEOPLE starts with a free 15-minute call, scopes the work, usually at your premises in Perth, and then gives one fixed price for the build. There is no hourly billing.
Can a Perth developer take over software that someone else built?
Yes. HELLO PEOPLE regularly takes over systems for Perth businesses whose original developer has moved on. It first gets the code, logins and backups under your control, works out what the system actually does, then fixes and extends it, or rebuilds it in stages so the team keeps working.
Who can connect Xero or MYOB to our field service or job management app in Perth?
HELLO PEOPLE connects Xero and MYOB to field service, job management and fleet systems for Perth and WA businesses, including ServiceM8, simPRO and FMT fuel data. For one WA field service company with 30 technicians, the connection cut admin time by 90 percent. Records that do not match are held for a person to check.
Who can move our business from MYOB or Reckon to Xero in Perth?
HELLO PEOPLE moves Perth businesses from MYOB, Reckon and QuickBooks to Xero, and from Dynamics GP to Business Central. It has moved a Perth professional services firm from Reckon Accounts Enterprise to Xero. Customers, suppliers, open invoices and history are moved, and the old and new systems are compared before cutover.
How long does custom software take to build?
With HELLO PEOPLE, a focused system such as a portal or an internal tool usually takes 8 to 12 weeks. Larger systems with several types of user and connections to other software take 16 to 24 weeks, delivered in stages so parts of it are in use well before the end.
Who owns the software when it is finished?
You do. HELLO PEOPLE hands over the source code, data, designs and hosting accounts in your business name. There are no licence fees, and you are free to move to another developer at any time.
Can we meet you in person in Perth?
Yes. HELLO PEOPLE is based at Level 16, 240 St Georges Terrace in the Perth CBD, and meets clients there or on site anywhere in metro Perth, from Joondalup to Rockingham. For businesses in the Pilbara, the Goldfields or the South West, the founder visits for workshops, training and go live. You can call 0425 531 127.
