An app built around how you work.

One place for you and your team to do the work, on a computer or a phone, instead of paper, spreadsheets and six different programs.

In short: Bots & Pieces builds custom business apps for businesses in Adelaide and across Australia. It is one place for your team to do the work, on a computer or phone. It connects to the software you keep.

Based in Adelaide, South Australia. I work remotely with businesses of any size across Australia.

How it works now

  • Paper forms
  • Spreadsheets
  • Text messages
  • Programs that do not talk to each other

The work lives in too many places: paper forms, spreadsheets, text messages and programs that do not talk to each other. Things get typed twice, and nobody is sure which copy is right.

How it works after

  • One app your team signs in to
  • Connected to the programs you keep

One app your team signs in to, that does the job the way you already do it. It connects to the programs you keep, so nothing is typed twice, and anything touching money or customers still gets a person's check.

A person still checks anything touching money or customers.

Built for myself. This shows the kind of work, not a promise that yours will be the same size.

From the first chat to it being yours

  1. ChatA free half-hour chat about the job and who does it.
  2. Write it downI look at how the work is done today and write down what the app has to do.
  3. Build and tryI build it, and your team tries it on real work before it is finished.
  4. Hand overIt is handed over in your name, with plain instructions, and I show your team how to use it.

You get one fixed quote before any work starts. I show you how to use what is built, and looking after it afterwards is optional. You can stop after any step, and you keep everything you have paid for so far.

Custom app development in Adelaide

I am based in Adelaide, South Australia, and work remotely with businesses across Australia. You talk to the person who builds the app. Bots & Pieces in Adelaide

Do I need to understand the technical side?

No. You tell me how the work is done now, in your own words. I handle the technical side and explain anything you need to know in plain English.

You get one fixed quote before any work starts. The price depends on:

Who owns it at the end?

You do. The code, the data and the accounts go into your name, once the build is paid for. If we stop working together it stays yours and keeps running, and everything is documented in plain language so somebody else can pick it up.
