Spreadsheets running the operation
Jobs, customers, stock, quotes and rosters all live in Excel files. Multiple versions floating around. Nobody is sure which one is current. One wrong formula and the numbers are wrong for weeks.
We build the operational software your business runs on: admin portals, staff portals, booking systems, job management, inventory tracking, CRMs and reporting dashboards. Custom-built around your workflows.
Perth-based. Australia-wide. Fixed-price quotes. Full code ownership.
Most businesses outgrow spreadsheets and off-the-shelf tools at some point. The data is in too many places, the manual workarounds pile up, and nobody has a clear picture of what is happening across the operation.
We build custom internal business systems — admin portals, staff portals, booking systems, job trackers, inventory managers, CRMs and dashboards. The kind of software your team logs into every morning. Built around your workflows, connected to your accounting software, and accessible from any browser.
HELLO PEOPLE is a Perth-based development company. We have built internal systems for trades businesses, healthcare practices, professional service firms, hospitality venues, retailers and resource companies across Australia.

If your business is dealing with any of these, you have probably outgrown your current tools.
Jobs, customers, stock, quotes and rosters all live in Excel files. Multiple versions floating around. Nobody is sure which one is current. One wrong formula and the numbers are wrong for weeks.
One tool for quoting, another for scheduling, another for invoicing, another for timesheets. Data is entered three times. Nothing talks to anything else. Your team wastes hours copying information between systems.
You find out a job is behind when the client calls to complain. You discover stock is out when someone tries to pick it. Revenue figures arrive days after the month closes. Decisions are based on gut feel instead of data.
Admin portal, booking system, staff tool, job tracker — describe what is not working and we will come back with a practical plan.
Admin portals, staff tools, booking systems, job management, inventory, CRM and dashboards. Each one solves a different operational problem.
The command centre for your business. Customer management, order processing, job allocation, quoting, invoicing, reporting. All behind a login, all accessible from any browser.
Role-based access so different staff see different things. Admins get the full picture, managers see their team, frontline staff see their tasks. Audit trails so you know who changed what and when.
Built as a web application, nothing to install. Works on desktops, laptops and tablets. If your team works across multiple locations, a browser-based system keeps everyone on the same page.
Web app developmentLeave requests, timesheets, shift rosters, training records, document access, internal communications. A single place for staff to manage their work life instead of emailing HR for everything.
Approval workflows built in. Leave requests go to the right manager, expense claims follow your sign-off rules, onboarding checklists track completion automatically.
Self-service cuts the admin load on your office team. Staff check their roster, submit requests and access policies without calling anyone. We build portals for staff, customers, suppliers and members.
Web portal developmentOnline booking for customers, resource scheduling for staff, multi-location calendars, availability management, automated confirmations and reminders. Connected to your internal operations.
Not just a calendar widget. Full scheduling logic: buffer times between appointments, staff skill matching, location-based availability, recurring bookings, waitlists, cancellation handling.
Integrates with your accounting software for automatic invoicing. Syncs with Google Calendar or Outlook. If bookings and scheduling sit at the centre of your operation, we build dedicated platforms for exactly that.
Booking & scheduling softwareTrack every job from quote to invoice. Status boards, task assignments, time tracking, photo documentation, notes, file attachments. Visible to everyone who needs to see it.
Custom job stages that match your process. A plumbing company has different stages than a marketing agency. We build the workflow around your operations, not a generic Kanban board.
Automated triggers keep things moving. A job hits "Complete" and the invoice drafts itself. A quote gets accepted and the job is created with the right team assigned. Still tracking jobs in spreadsheets? We build full platforms around this.
Job management softwareTrack stock levels, warehouse locations, reorder points, supplier information, purchase orders and stock movements. Know what you have, where it is and when to reorder.
Barcode and QR scanning for fast receiving and picking. Multi-location support for businesses with warehouses, vans or retail stores.
The real power is in the connections. Stock sold on Shopify updates your internal count automatically. A purchase order creates a bill in Xero. We integrate with dozens of accounting, eCommerce and warehouse platforms.
View all integrationsTrack leads, manage customer relationships, generate quotes, follow up on opportunities. All without switching between HubSpot, spreadsheets and email threads.
If the off-the-shelf CRMs do not fit your sales process, we build one that does. Custom pipeline stages, industry-specific fields, automated follow-ups, quote templates with your branding.
Quotes convert to jobs with one click. Customer history shows every quote, job, invoice and communication in one timeline. A CRM shaped around your sales process is exactly what custom development gives you.
Custom software developmentReal-time dashboards that pull data from across your operation. Revenue, job completion rates, staff utilisation, outstanding quotes, overdue invoices, customer satisfaction. All at a glance.
Not just charts for the sake of charts. We build dashboards that answer the questions your team actually asks: Are we on track this month? Which jobs are behind? Where are we losing money?
Scheduled reports, PDF and CSV exports, email digests for stakeholders. If your leadership team is still waiting for someone to compile the monthly numbers, a dedicated dashboard replaces that with live data.
Dashboard & reporting software
We built a facilities management platform with job dispatch, SLA tracking, contractor coordination and asset management. Response times improved dramatically.
Read the full case studyOff-the-shelf tools get you started. Custom systems get you ahead. Here is what changes when the software actually matches your operation.
Jobs, customers, stock, bookings, staff rosters, invoices. Right now these live in spreadsheets, inboxes, whiteboards and someone's head. An internal system puts it all in one place.
Everyone sees the same data. No more "which spreadsheet is the latest version?" No more emailing the office to find out if a job is booked.
Off-the-shelf tools force you into their workflow. You end up with workarounds, unused features and data trapped in silos. A custom internal system works the way your business actually operates.
Your approval flows, your job stages, your pricing rules, your reporting structure. Not a generic template you have to bend your team around.
Copying data between systems, chasing approvals by email, manually generating invoices, updating status columns in spreadsheets. Internal systems automate these tasks so your team does the work that actually needs a human.
A booking comes in, the job is created, the team is notified, the customer gets a confirmation — without anyone copying and pasting.
Dashboards that show job status, revenue, open quotes, overdue tasks, stock levels, team capacity — in real time. Not the version from last Friday's meeting.
Owners and managers get the numbers they need to make decisions without waiting for someone to pull a report together.
Spreadsheets break at 20 staff. Off-the-shelf tools hit limits when you need custom logic. Internal systems are built to handle more users, more data and more complexity without falling over.
Add new modules, new user roles, new integrations as the business evolves. You are not locked into what a SaaS vendor decides to build next.
No hourly billing that spirals. No vague estimates. Here is how we approach pricing for operational software.
Walk us through what your team does and where the pain is. We will tell you whether a custom system, an off-the-shelf tool, or a combination is the right move — honestly.
After a free consultation and discovery phase, you get a fixed-price proposal. No hourly billing that spirals. You know the cost before development starts.
We build in phases. Core system first, then additional modules. Each phase delivers working software your team can use. You pay in milestones tied to what has been delivered.
Every system is different. But the structure stays the same — map the process first, then build software around it.
We ran the whole operation on spreadsheets — job tracking, quoting, scheduling, the lot. It worked until we hit about 15 staff, then everything started falling through the cracks. The new system replaced six spreadsheets and three separate tools. Everyone sees the same data. Jobs do not get lost anymore.
The problems are similar — disconnected tools, manual workarounds, no visibility. The solutions are tailored to how each industry operates.
Job management, quoting, scheduling, timesheets, field team tracking and automated invoicing. Connects to simPRO, ServiceM8, Tradify and your accounting software. Replaces the whiteboard and the spreadsheet.
Client portals, project tracking, resourcing, time billing, document management and proposal workflows. Built for accounting firms, consultancies, agencies and legal practices.
Patient booking and scheduling, referral management, clinical workflows, compliance tracking and staff rostering. Australian health data requirements handled from the start.
Table bookings, event management, stock ordering, roster management, customer loyalty tracking. Connected to your POS, accounting and delivery platforms.
Inventory management, order processing, supplier portals, customer accounts and fulfilment tracking. Connected to Shopify, BigCommerce, Square and your warehouse systems.
Safety reporting, asset management, compliance tracking, shift management and contractor portals. Offline capability for remote sites. Built for rugged conditions and complex sign-off workflows.
We write the code, design the interface, deploy the systems, and support them long-term. No subcontracting, no offshore handoffs.
You get a clear price before we start. No hourly billing that spirals, no surprise invoices at the end of the month.
We understand BAS, super, award rates, Australian privacy law, and the tools local businesses actually use: Xero, MYOB, ServiceM8, Tradify.
You talk to the people building your software. No account managers, no project managers relaying messages, no ticket queues.
You own everything. The code, the data, the hosting. No lock-in. No proprietary platforms you cannot leave.
It is custom software built specifically for your business operations — admin portals, job management tools, booking systems, staff portals, CRMs, inventory trackers. The kind of tool your team logs into every day to get work done. Unlike off-the-shelf software, it is designed around your workflows and connected to your existing platforms.
Off-the-shelf tools work well for simple use cases. But when your business has custom workflows, industry-specific requirements, complex approval logic, or data that needs to flow between multiple systems, you end up fighting the tool instead of using it. A custom internal system matches your process exactly and integrates with everything you already use.
Every project is scoped differently, so we do not publish fixed price ranges. We start with a free consultation to understand the problem, then run a paid discovery phase to map the full scope. After discovery, you get a fixed-price quote — no hourly billing surprises. Book a free 15-minute call and we will give you an honest steer.
A focused tool — a booking system, staff portal, or simple admin dashboard — typically takes 8 to 14 weeks. A more complex operational system with multiple modules, integrations and user roles may take 14 to 24 weeks, delivered in phases so your team starts using parts of the system early.
Yes. We integrate with Xero, MYOB, QuickBooks, Sage and most cloud accounting platforms via API. Invoices, payments, contacts and financial reporting can flow automatically between your internal system and your accounting software.
We migrate your data from spreadsheets, Access databases, legacy systems and other tools into the new system. Data is cleaned, validated and mapped to the new structure. Your team does not start from scratch — the history comes across.
Yes, completely. Source code, designs, database, hosting accounts — all yours. No licensing fees, no lock-in, no per-user charges from us. You can host it wherever you want and bring in any developer in the future.
We offer monthly support plans covering bug fixes, new features, performance monitoring, security updates and user support. Most clients add modules over time as the business grows. We already know the codebase so changes happen quickly.
