Three things Melbourne buyers tell us matter most.
[01] Melbourne fluent, not Sydney-transplanted
Melbourne's SME landscape skews toward design-led product teams, advice practices and import-heavy retail. We've built into those rhythms, our brief reads like it's from someone who's worked here, not parachuted in.
[02] Forward-deployed, not body-shopped
One engineer, embedded, owning the spec → ship → operate loop. Not a five-person off-shore team behind a project manager. The work is materially better and the day-rate is the same.
[03] Compliance ready for AU regulators
Privacy Act, APRA CPS 234, AFSL, we deploy AI agents with logged retrieval, explicit operational boundaries, and signed-off scope. Auditable from day one.
What we build, by vertical.
Frequently asked questions.
-
[01] Do you have a Melbourne office? +
Our studios are Bangalore and Oldenburg. For Melbourne engagements we travel in for the discovery sprint and meet weekly on-site afterwards if the work calls for it. Most Melbourne clients prefer this rhythm over a permanent local presence, the day-rate stays lower without sacrificing the on-the-ground time.
-
[02] How quickly can we start? +
Discovery calls within one business day of you submitting the form. First on-site visit usually within 2 weeks. Fixed-price proposal in writing within the week after that.
-
[03] Which Melbourne industries have you worked with most? +
Wealth advisory practices, stone and granite retailers, freight and 3PL operators, and a handful of professional-services firms. Our three verticalised playbooks are linked above, engagements outside those we still take, but we tell you upfront whether we're the right fit.
-
[04] Do you build in AEST hours? +
Yes. Our Bangalore studio overlaps Melbourne 09:00–15:00 AEST daily. Sprint reviews and on-site work happen entirely in your timezone.
