Perth software developers for businesses losing time to spreadsheets, disconnected tools and old systems. If you need a software company Perth teams can meet locally, we scope, design and build custom software that fits how your team actually works.
Custom software development Perth businesses can own outright: internal systems, portals, quoting tools, dashboards and web apps, delivered with fixed pricing, direct access to senior software developers and a clear plan.
Perth SMBs have picked HELLO PEOPLE for software development for 18+ years. Every project runs through the founder, from the scoping call to go-live. No sales handoff, no offshore team, no surprises.
Week 0
Fifteen minutes with the person who will build your system. In-person in Perth if that suits. Fixed-price quote inside 48 hours.
Weeks 1-N
One founder, one codebase. Weekly working demos, not a big reveal at the end. Every workflow verified against your live operations before it goes near production.
Cutover
Planned launch window with the founder on the line. Full source code and infrastructure access handed over. Thirty days of post-launch support included, plan optional after that.
Five categories of custom software, one Perth team building all of them. Each category has been delivered for real Perth SMBs and is available as a fixed-price scope.
Job management, quoting, scheduling, inventory, approvals, reporting: the operational software your Perth business needs but cannot find off the shelf.
Built around your actual workflow. Custom fields, custom rules, role-based dashboards. Your team picks it up immediately because it works the way they already do.
Replaces the patchwork of spreadsheets, shared drives and disconnected SaaS tools your team has been cobbling together.
Staff portals, customer dashboards, booking platforms, reporting tools, multi-tenant SaaS: web applications that run in the browser on any device.
React, Next.js, Node.js, .NET: the right stack for your requirements. Responsive, fast, accessible.
Lower deployment cost than native apps, zero App Store approval delays, and easier rollouts across your team.
iOS and Android from a single codebase using React Native or Flutter. Your mobile app runs natively on both platforms at 60-70% of the cost of two separate builds.
Push notifications, offline capability, camera, GPS, barcode scanning: all the native device features your field teams and customers need.
App Store and Google Play submission handled end-to-end.
Your software needs a solid backend. We build the server-side systems, APIs and database architecture that power your application.
Integration with Xero, MYOB, Salesforce, HubSpot, Stripe, Square, Medicare, ServiceM8, simPRO and dozens of other platforms Perth businesses rely on.
Secure, scalable, properly documented.
Still running Access databases, VB6 apps, or Excel-based systems from the 2000s? We migrate your data and rebuild the functionality on a modern, supported stack.
Phased migration means your team keeps working while we build the replacement. No big-bang cutover.
Common in Perth mining, professional services and government sectors where legacy systems have been "temporary" for a decade.
No hourly billing that spirals, no vague estimates. Here is how fixed-price Perth software development actually works, from first call to signed scope.
Tell us what problem you are trying to solve. We give you an honest answer on whether custom software is the right approach, roughly what it would involve, and what alternatives exist. In-person if you are in Perth.
After the free consultation and a proper discovery phase, you get a fixed price for the entire Perth software development project. No hourly billing that spirals. You know exactly what it costs before we write a line of code.
We do not ask for a large sum upfront and disappear for six months. Projects are phased into working releases every fortnight. You see real features early, give feedback, and pay in milestones.
Why HELLO PEOPLE
Custom software is a big call. Here is how HELLO PEOPLE compares to the three other realistic paths for a Perth business.
| Concern | HELLO PEOPLE | Off-the-shelf SaaS | Offshore developer | In-house build |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fit to your Perth workflow | Built to how your team actually works | 80% fit, work around the 20% | Generic build, drifts from spec | You control it, if you have the staff |
| Custom build in 8-24 weeks | Phased delivery, first drop early | Live today, wrong 20% forever | Timeline slips, disputed scope | 6 to 12 months to first production |
| AU BAS, GST, Perth business rules | AU-native, BAS and GST handled | Generic, misses AU quirks | Generic, you code the rules | Depends on the hire |
| Ongoing cost | One-off + optional support plan | Per seat, per month, forever | Hourly + scope creep | Salary + super + overhead |
| When scope changes | We adapt, fixed change scope | Vendor roadmap only | Change order every time | Hire another head |
| Direct access to the builder | Email Kasun, get Kasun | Support ticket queue | Time-zone gap | Internal team |
| Code and business data ownership | You own the code and the data | Vendor owns everything | Often disputed at handover | You own it |
We built an end-to-end operations platform for a Perth trades business: quoting, scheduling, field capture, invoicing and reporting in one system connected to Xero.
Read the full case studyWe had an Access database from 2008 running a critical part of our operations. HELLO PEOPLE rebuilt it as a modern web app, migrated all our data, and the team barely noticed the switchover. Should have done it years ago.
Less admin, better visibility, connected systems, real code ownership. Here is what custom business software delivers for a Perth SMB, once it is built and running.
We are based in Perth. Same timezone, same business hours, and the option to sit across the table for discovery workshops, sprint demos and project kick-offs.
Most Perth clients start with an in-person session. It cuts weeks off the back-and-forth that remote-only teams deal with.
Off-the-shelf tools force you into their way of working. Custom software does the opposite: built around your processes, your terminology, your edge cases.
Your team uses it from day one because it matches the workflow they already follow.
Xero, MYOB, Salesforce, ServiceM8, Tradify, Shopify, Square: whatever your Perth business already runs on. Your software connects through proper API integrations.
Data flows automatically. No CSV exports, no copy-paste between systems, no double entry.
Start with the core features you need right now. Add complexity as the business grows: more users, more locations, more integrations. No rip-and-replace.
Cloud infrastructure that handles ten users or ten thousand without rebuilding.
You own everything we build. Source code, designs, database, infrastructure. No lock-in, no licensing fees, no dependency on us.
Want to take it to another developer later? You can. But most clients stay because we know the system inside out.
Every custom business software project is different, but the delivery structure stays the same. You always know what week you are in, what is being demoed next, and what still has to happen before go-live.
We start with a free discovery session (in person in Perth if that suits) to understand the workflow, integrations and constraints, then provide a fixed-price quote before any work begins. Simple internal tools sit at the lower end. Complex multi-platform applications with third-party integrations, user roles and admin portals are larger. No hourly billing that spirals - you know the total cost before we write a line of code.
Typical timelines range from 8 to 24 weeks. A simple web application or internal tool can ship in 8-12 weeks. Larger systems with mobile apps, integrations and complex business logic are closer to 16-24 weeks. We give you a realistic timeline during scoping, not an optimistic guess to win the job.
React, Next.js, Node.js, .NET, React Native, Flutter, Python, PostgreSQL, AWS and Azure. We pick the stack that fits the requirements, not whatever is trendy. For most business software, React + Node.js or .NET is the right foundation.
Yes, this is a significant part of our Perth software development work. We rebuild legacy Access databases, VB6 apps, Excel-based systems and outdated web apps on modern, supported stacks. Data migration handled. Phased rollout so your team keeps working during the transition.
Yes. We regularly integrate with Xero, MYOB, Salesforce, HubSpot, Stripe, Square, ServiceM8, simPRO, Tradify, Shopify, WooCommerce, Medicare and dozens of other platforms Perth businesses use. If the system has an API, we can connect to it.
You do. Source code, designs, database, hosting configuration: everything. No lock-in, no licensing fees, no proprietary frameworks that tie you to us.
Yes. Most Perth clients stay on a support arrangement for bug fixes, security updates, feature additions and general maintenance. Software needs to evolve as your business grows and platforms change.
Absolutely. We are based in Perth and most projects kick off with a face-to-face discovery session. It cuts weeks off the misunderstandings that remote-only engagements deal with.
