Brisbane-Based Custom Software

Most software makes you change how you work.
We build software around how you already work.

Custom-built tools and automations for small businesses with needs that off-the-shelf software just doesn't fit. We figure out your process, then build the system that runs it.

The Problem

Off-the-shelf apps do 80% of what you need, and make you work around the other 20% every day.

No one builds for a business quite like yours. So ask yourself:

๐Ÿ”
A task done the same way every day?

Repetitive and predictable means it can be automated.

๐Ÿง 
A process that lives in one head?

A system makes it permanent, even when they're away.

๐Ÿ“Š
A spreadsheet holding it together?

Great, until it breaks, gets overwritten, or hits its limit.

Why Custom

Built for you beats built for everyone

Off-the-Shelf SaaS

Built for the average business

  • You bend your process to fit the software
  • Pay for features you'll never use, miss the one you need
  • Built for the average business, not your niche
  • You set it up, run it, and admin it yourself
  • Support is a ticket queue in another timezone
  • Costs rise with every user you add
Custom-Built by SmallBiz Systems

Built for your business

  • The software fits how you already work
  • Only what you need, including what you can't buy elsewhere
  • Designed around your exact niche and process
  • We build it, host it, and manage it for you
  • A direct line to the person who built it
  • One predictable fee, whatever your team size
The Best Part

We don't just build it. We manage it for you.

We handle everything technical, from the first set-up right through to ongoing upkeep, so you can simply use your system and get on with running your business.

๐Ÿš€

We set it up, start to finish

We get everything live, configured on your devices, and your old data migrated in. No half-finished setup, no data left stranded in the old system.

๐Ÿ‘ค

We're your system admin

Adding or removing users, resetting passwords, updating access and permissions, changing settings, tweaking how things work. Just ask, and we take care of it.

๐Ÿ›

Bugs are on us

If something isn't working the way it's meant to, we fix it. No hourly billing for things that should just work.

โ˜๏ธ

Hosting & tech handled

Servers, databases, security, backups. All of it is our responsibility, not yours. It just works.

What We Build

If it runs on a computer and supports your business, we can build it

These are examples, not a fixed menu. The point is that it's built for you.

How It Works

From conversation to working system

No surprises, no jargon. You know exactly what you're getting before you pay a cent.

1

Free Chat

We talk through your business, your process, and where the pain is. No cost, no obligation.

2

Brief

We write up a clear brief of what you need and the features it'll include, refined together until it captures exactly what you're after.

3

Quote

A fixed upfront build fee and a simple monthly fee. You accept when you're happy, or you don't.

4

Design

We design it properly: diagrams and a clear plan of exactly how the system will look and work, so there are no surprises.

5

Build

We build it, with a clear timeframe. You get a system made from the ground up around how you work.

6

Support

It goes live, and we keep it running. Hosting, fixes, and changes are all handled.

Pricing

Simple, transparent, no surprises

Two parts: a one-off fee to build it, and a monthly fee to run it.

What you need
To build (one-off)
Monthly (all in)

Let's talk
Quoted to match

The monthly fee is all in: hosting, backups, bug fixes, small tweaks, and system administration are all covered. Every system is quoted individually after our chat, so these are starting points to give you a feel for what to expect.
