BACKSHEDDEVELOPMENTS

Software, devices & good ideas
We build software, devices and practical tools around the way you work. A useful app, a custom gadget, or a bit of both.
Based in Sydney, NSW. Building for businesses across Australia. Small crew. Room to change direction.

01 / The workshop
Maybe a job needs a better app. Maybe it needs a device you can't buy off the shelf. Or maybe the clever bit is getting the two to work together.
Apps, dashboards and everyday tools shaped around the people using them.
Custom gadgets, sensors and prototypes for a job that needs something hands-on.
Less repetitive work, with practical ways to make things happen when they need to.
Devices and software talking to each other, from a sensor reading to a useful dashboard.
02 / The job board
A few of the kinds of problems we like getting our hands on.
Stock, equipment, locations and service records, all easier to track.
Sensors, alerts and dashboards to keep an eye on things in the workshop, the field or the shed.
A custom device or working prototype to try an idea and see what it can do.
03 / The workbench
We're a small outfit, so we can keep the conversation direct and adapt as the job takes shape.
Good professional software can still have character. We like useful tools with thoughtful details, a bit of playfulness and a personality that feels like your business. Dependable, easy to use and a pleasure to come back to.
We'll work out what matters, what gets in the way and where to start.
Try an early app or working prototype. Give feedback. We'll keep improving the parts that make a difference.
A useful build, a clear handover and the notes you need to use it and keep it going.
04 / Pull up a chair
You don't need a polished brief. Tell us about the problem, the idea, or the thing you keep wishing worked better.
