Webshark provides custom software development for Australian businesses in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and beyond. As a software development company serving the Australian market, we design and build bespoke business software, SaaS products, customer portals, web and mobile apps, integrations and AI-powered tools around the way your business works. Our teams overlap with the Australian working day, as India's time zone sits only 4.5 to 5.5 hours behind AEST, so stand-ups, demos and calls happen in your business hours. We integrate with Xero, MYOB, HubSpot, Salesforce and Australian payment providers, and also offer IT consulting for teams planning bigger changes. Every project follows ISO 27001 certified security, CMMI Level 3 processes and Privacy Act-aligned data handling. Prefer a flexible team model? See our software outsourcing services.

Australian businesses want a partner that is responsive, secure and good value. That is how we work.
Because India is only 4.5 to 5.5 hours behind AEST, our teams share most of your working day. They join your Slack or Teams, work in your Jira and GitHub and demo progress every two weeks, so custom software development feels like working with a local team.
Our engineers follow ISO 27001 and CMMI Level 3 processes, with code reviews, automated testing and CI/CD on every project, while our delivery model keeps costs well below typical Sydney and Melbourne agency rates.
A transparent, agile process keeps your project on time, on budget and on target.
Every custom software development Australia project starts with remote discovery workshops held in AEST business hours, usually across one to two weeks. We meet your stakeholders, map goals, users, current processes, spreadsheets and the systems you rely on, then agree scope and priorities together. You receive a process map, a prioritised feature backlog and clear success measures, so decision makers in Sydney, Melbourne or Brisbane sign off on the same plan.
Our architects then design the software itself: architecture, data model, user roles, permissions, APIs and hosting, often in AWS or Azure Sydney and Melbourne regions for data residency. We plan for scale, security and the integrations your business depends on. Over one to two weeks you receive architecture diagrams, a phased roadmap with milestones and a fixed quote in AUD, so finance can approve budget with no surprises in exchange rates or scope.
Designers turn requirements into wireframes and clickable prototypes for desktop, tablet and mobile. We test them with the people who will use the system daily, such as finance staff, warehouse teams, site supervisors or customers, and refine any confusing steps. Over two to three weeks you receive approved screens and a reusable design system. Solving usability issues before coding saves money and helps your team adopt the new software quickly.
Development runs in two-week sprints with demos scheduled during your working hours, typically late morning or afternoon AEST. Every sprint ships tested, working features to a staging environment where you can review progress with real data. Our engineers follow peer code reviews, automated unit and integration tests and CI/CD pipelines. You get a shared Jira board, sprint reports and a named project manager, which keeps delivery transparent from start to finish.
Australian businesses run on familiar platforms, so we integrate Xero, MYOB, Salesforce, HubSpot, Stripe, Square, Australia Post and StarTrack, plus payroll tools and your existing databases. Where you are replacing older systems, we plan safe data migration with cleansing, mapping, trial runs and reconciliation reports. You receive integration documentation and migration sign-off evidence, and your staff stop re-keying data between disconnected systems.
Before go-live our QA team runs functional, regression, performance and security testing, along with checks against the Australian Privacy Principles for how personal information is collected and stored. Your team completes user acceptance testing on staging with real scenarios. We then plan a controlled launch with monitoring, rollback steps and a cut-over checklist. You receive test reports and release notes, and the software goes live with minimal disruption.
After launch we keep improving the software under clear SLAs. Support covers monitoring, bug fixes, security patches, dependency and cloud updates, performance tuning and a roadmap of new features driven by user feedback. You receive monthly reports on incidents, releases and system health, delivered by a team whose hours overlap with the Australian working day. Many clients move to a dedicated team so the platform keeps growing with the business.

Answers to the questions Australian businesses ask before hiring a custom software development company: cost, time zones, privacy and contracts.
With Webshark, a focused business application usually costs AUD 30,000 to 90,000, while SaaS platforms or complex enterprise systems typically range from AUD 90,000 to 350,000. The main cost drivers are the number of modules and user roles, integrations with Xero, MYOB or CRMs, data migration, compliance requirements and whether you need web and mobile apps. Because our custom software development Australia teams deliver remotely, pricing sits well below typical Sydney and Melbourne agency rates. We provide a fixed AUD quote per phase after discovery.
Yes. India is only 4.5 to 5.5 hours behind AEST, depending on daylight saving, so our teams overlap with most of the Australian working day for stand-ups, sprint reviews and calls. Project managers are reachable by Teams, Slack, email or phone from morning through late afternoon on the east coast, and the overlap is even larger for clients in Perth and Adelaide. Releases and maintenance windows are scheduled outside your peak trading hours to avoid disruption.
Yes. We follow ISO 27001 certified processes and practices aligned with the Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian Privacy Principles. That includes collecting only the personal information you need, encryption in transit and at rest, access controls, audit logs and support for access and correction requests. We can host data in Australian cloud regions and design systems that support the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme. We sign NDAs, and your legal adviser should confirm final privacy policies.
Yes. Many of our Australian enquiries come from Sydney and Melbourne, and we also work with businesses in Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide and regional areas. Typical projects include fintech platforms and professional services portals in Sydney, retail, education and logistics systems in Melbourne, and resources and field operations software in Perth and Brisbane. All delivery runs remotely with AEST overlap, so location within Australia makes no difference to cost, speed or how often we meet.
Yes. We provide IT consulting remotely for Sydney businesses, covering technology strategy, architecture and code reviews, cloud migration plans, AI roadmaps and vendor selection. A typical engagement runs two to six weeks and ends with a prioritised roadmap, cost estimates and clear recommendations your board can act on. Many Sydney fintech, healthcare and professional services firms use consulting to de-risk a major investment before committing to custom software development.
Webshark has delivered 580+ projects for 280+ active clients across 18+ countries over seven years, under ISO 27001 and CMMI Level 3 certified processes. As a software development company Australian businesses can work with during their day, we offer senior engineers, fixed AUD pricing per phase, strong AEST overlap and full code ownership. Our headquarters in Bengaluru, India keeps costs well below local agency rates without lowering engineering quality.
Yes. Many clients start with a short consulting engagement covering an assessment of current systems, options analysis and a technology roadmap. This usually takes two to four weeks and gives you costed recommendations, a phased plan and clear priorities before larger budgets are committed. It suits Australian organisations replacing legacy software, planning cloud or AI adoption, or comparing off-the-shelf products with custom software development. See our IT consulting services page.
You do. All source code, designs and documentation you pay for belong to you, assigned to your company under a written contract that can follow Australian law, for example New South Wales or Victorian jurisdiction, where required. The agreement lists any open-source or third-party components with their licence terms, so there are no hidden restrictions. Ownership transfers on payment of each milestone, which protects you even if a project changes direction midway.
For custom software in Australia we use React, Next.js and Angular for front ends, Node.js, Python, Java Spring Boot and .NET for back ends, and Flutter or React Native for mobile apps. We deploy on AWS, Azure or Google Cloud, usually in Sydney or Melbourne regions, with Docker, Kubernetes and CI/CD pipelines. The stack is chosen to fit your goals, budget and in-house skills, so local developers can maintain it easily in future.
You do. Beyond the code itself, your intellectual property includes designs, database schemas, test suites, documentation and infrastructure scripts from your software development project. We sign NDAs before discovery starts and include IP assignment clauses in every contract. Code lives in repositories you own, and cloud resources run in your own accounts, so you can bring development in-house, change suppliers or sell the business without any licensing questions.
Yes. You can hire dedicated engineers on monthly contracts, from one developer to a full team with a project manager, designer and QA. Your team works in your sprints and tools, joins stand-ups during AEST hours and focuses only on your product. This model suits Australian startups scaling after funding, software companies extending in-house teams and enterprises with long modernisation roadmaps. You can scale the team with notice. See our hire full-stack developers page.
Yes. Our support plans cover monitoring, bug fixes, security patches, dependency and cloud updates, performance tuning and new features, with agreed response times by severity. Our support team's hours overlap with the Australian working day, and maintenance is scheduled outside your trading hours. You receive monthly reports on incidents, releases and system health. Plans can include a bank of development hours for new reports, integrations and features as your business grows.
