Software that fits
the way you work.
When the spreadsheet has become the system, or your team keeps working around an app, it might be time for something that fits. We build custom business software in Sydney for small teams across Australia, with your way of working and your personality built in.
Tell us about your ideaSydney, NSW · Working Australia-wide
Made to work. Made to feel like you.
Why so serious?
Professional can still be playful.
Good professional software can have a personality. Colour, thoughtful details and a bit of playfulness can make an everyday tool a pleasure to use. We build around the people using it, with clear navigation, readable screens and character that feels like you.
Dependable where it matters. Individual by design.
What we can work on
Your workflow. Your tools.
Dashboards & portals
Give staff or customers a useful view of their information, with access designed around who needs to see what.
Connections & upgrades
Connect existing tools where their interfaces allow it, or replace an awkward part of an older system without tackling everything at once.
From the workshop
A look inside our own workshop
We build tools for ourselves too. Our enquiries portal gathers website enquiries in one place, with status tracking and notes to make follow-up easier. It is a practical example of software built around an everyday business task.
Small crew. Direct conversation.
Start small.
Build on what works.
You do not need every detail before we talk. We will agree what to explore first and how to review it together.
Find the friction
Walk us through the current process: the screens, the spreadsheet and the bits people keep doing by hand.
Build the useful bit first
Agree a small starting scope, try a working version and use your feedback to shape what comes next.
Make the handover clear
Agree hosting, access, ongoing support and the information you need to use and maintain the tool.
Before we start
A few useful answers.
Do we need a complete specification?
No. Start with the problem and who will use the tool. Screenshots or a sample spreadsheet can help us work out the first useful version.
Can you work with a business outside Sydney?
Yes. BackShed is based in Sydney, NSW and works with businesses across Australia. We can scope and review software work remotely.
What will custom software cost?
It depends on scope, integrations, access requirements and support. We discuss those before agreeing a build; there is no one-size-fits-all price.
Can you work with our existing software?
Often the right starting point is a connection or a small companion tool. We first check what your systems support and what permissions are available.

awkward bit.
