Software Development for Perth Businesses That Have Outgrown Off-the-Shelf
Your business has hit the ceiling on generic software. The workflow does not fit, the integrations are missing, reports do not show what you need, and the workarounds involve spreadsheets and manual re-keying.
We build custom software for Perth businesses — web applications, mobile apps, internal systems, and the backend integrations that connect your existing tools. React, .NET, Node.js, React Native, Flutter — the right tech for the job, not whatever is trendy.
HELLO PEOPLE is a Perth software development company with 18 years of experience. We work with trades, mining services, professional services, healthcare, logistics and SaaS founders across WA and nationally.
Problems Perth businesses bring to us
These conversations happen every week with business owners and operations managers across Perth.
Five SaaS tools and still using spreadsheets
You pay for CRM, job management, accounting, invoicing and project tracking — but none of them talk to each other. The gaps get patched with spreadsheets and manual data entry.
Legacy system nobody wants to touch
You are running an Access database, a VB6 application or an Excel-based system from the 2000s. It works, barely — but nobody can modify it and the person who built it is long gone.
No visibility across the operation
You cannot get a clear picture of jobs, revenue, utilisation or inventory without pulling data from three different systems and building a report in Excel every week.

Software we build for Perth businesses
Pick a tab to see the types of software we develop and who they suit.
Custom business and operations software
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.
Web apps, portals and platforms
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.
Cross-platform mobile applications
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.
API integrations and backend systems
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.
Replace outdated systems without losing data
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's mining, professional services and government sectors where legacy systems have been "temporary" for a decade.
Job management system that replaced five disconnected tools
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.

What you get from a Perth software development company
Local team, proven process, and software you actually own.
Perth-based software developers — face-to-face when it counts
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.
Software shaped around how your business actually runs
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.
Integrates with Xero, MYOB and your existing tools
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.
Grows with your business, not against it
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.
Full ownership of code, data and IP
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.
How We Build Your Software
Every project adapts, but the structure stays the same.

Common questions about software development in Perth
How much does custom software development cost in Perth?
Most custom software projects we build for Perth businesses fall between $30,000 and $200,000 depending on complexity, integrations and platforms. Simple internal tools with a handful of screens sit at the lower end. Complex multi-platform applications with third-party integrations, user roles and admin portals sit higher. We provide a fixed-price quote after discovery — no hourly billing that spirals.
How long does a software development project take?
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.
What technologies do you use?
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.
Can you replace our existing legacy system?
Yes — this is a significant part of our 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.
Can you integrate with our existing tools?
Yes. We regularly integrate with Xero, MYOB, Salesforce, HubSpot, Stripe, Square, ServiceM8, simPRO, Tradify, Shopify, WooCommerce, Medicare and dozens of other platforms. If the system has an API, we can connect to it.
Who owns the software when it is finished?
You do. Source code, designs, database, hosting configuration — everything. No lock-in, no licensing fees, no proprietary frameworks that tie you to us.
Do you provide ongoing support?
Yes. Most 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.
Can we meet in person in Perth?
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.
