No. We are proudly Australian-owned and operated, with 100% of our staff working in Australia (primarily NSW, VIC and QLD). This means a dedicated team who understands the local market, the importance of data privacy and provides timely service in AEST.

What is the difference between software and SaaS software?

Custom software enables you to tailor features and functionality to your specific needs. A great option if you want to build a competitive advantage for your organisation.  

SAAS software tends to be cheaper (at least at small scale), and is difficult to differentiate your business with as lots of companies will be using the same solution. A great option when starting out, or if using it for something that isn’t going to differentiate your business.
