Custom Software Development in Auckland That Actually Fits Your Business
We build custom systems your team owns and actually wants to use. No more cobbled-together spreadsheets, clunky software you pay through the nose for, or tools that do 10% of what you need.
Your Business Has Outgrown Its Tools
You started with a spreadsheet, bolted on a CRM someone recommended, added another app, then another. Now your team juggles five different tools that don't talk to each other and wastes hours every week on workarounds.
Held Together with Tape
Your current setup was never meant to do what you need it to. It is three or four tools patched together with manual steps filling the gaps. It works, sort of, until it doesn't.
Expensive Per-User Costs
Off-the-shelf platforms charge you per person, per month, for 100 features you never touch. And the 3 things you actually need? They don't exist or cost extra.
You Don't Own It
Your processes, your client data, the way your business works. It is all locked inside someone else's platform. If they put their prices up or shut down, you are stuck.
Doris Knows It All
The way things work lives in the heads of your team, not in any system. If someone leaves, gets crook, or goes on holiday, that knowledge walks out the door with them.
Spreadsheets Run the Show
They are great for a quick calculation but terrible as a business system. Hard to share, a nightmare to report from, and one wrong formula throws everything out.
Nothing Talks to Anything
You copy info from one app, paste it into another, then email someone to update a third. Your team spends more time shuffling data around than actually doing their job.
From Messy to Sorted in 4 Steps
We keep it simple. No jargon, no six-month timelines. Just a clear path to a system that works.
Have a Chat
We have a yarn about what is working, what is not, and what your ideal day looks like when the system just handles it for you.
Map It Out
We put together a clear plan of exactly what gets built, how it connects to your world, and what it costs. No hidden extras.
Build It Together
You see progress every week. We build it with you, not behind closed doors. Regular check-ins keep everything on track.
Hand It Over
Your team gets trained up, everything is documented, and you own the lot. We stick around for support if you want us to.
Software We've Built for Real NZ Businesses
Davis Lead Management System
A global training company with 350 facilitators worldwide needed to unify leads from multiple sources, track how they progress, and replace a haphazard system that was never designed for the job.
We built a custom system that gives their team full visibility on every lead, clear reporting on what's converting, and hours back in their week.
Coaching Company Assessment System
A coaching business with proprietary assessment IP needed a way to deliver, score, and manage their frameworks digitally. Their valuable methodology was trapped in manual processes and disconnected documents.
We are building a system that turns their IP into a scalable digital asset they own, with automated scoring, client management, and reporting built in.
GatewayTest Contractor Compliance Checker
When the NZ Government introduced new contractor agreement laws, businesses were left scrambling to check if their contracts were compliant. Hiring a lawyer for every contract was expensive and slow.
We built a tool that checks your contractor agreements against the new legislation for a small fee. It flags compliance issues, gives plain-English suggestions, and generates a PDF report you can action yourself or take to an employment lawyer. Check it out live at gatewaytest.co.nz

Outcomes That Actually Matter
It's not about the tech. It's about what it does for your business.
Hours Back Every Week
Your team stops doing manual workarounds and double-handling. The system takes care of the repetitive stuff so they can focus on actual work.
See What is Actually Working
Dashboards and reporting that show you where your leads are, what is converting, and where the gaps are. No more guessing.
You Own the Lot
The code, the data, the system. It belongs to your business. No lock-in, no monthly ransom to access your own information.
Grows With You
Start with what you need right now. As your team and workload grows, the system scales with you. No rebuild needed.
Your Team Will Actually Use It
Because it is built around the way they already work, not how some overseas software company thinks they should. When the tool fits, people use it.
Better Business Decisions
When all your info lives in one place, you stop guessing. You see the full picture and make calls based on real numbers, not gut feel.
