Haybreaker designs and builds web, mobile, backend and AI software for Australian businesses. Senior engineers only, fixed quotes within 48 hours, and most projects ship in two to six weeks.
Software that sells to everyone has to be shaped for the average business. Yours is not average. Your quoting process, your compliance workflow, your delivery pipeline — these are what make you money, and generic tools force you to bend them into someone else’s shape.
The result is a tax paid in the worst currency: your team’s hours. Workarounds, double entry, “the system can’t do that, so we do it by hand”. Custom software exists for exactly this gap — software that fits the way your business already works, instead of the other way around.
Don’t take a generic guess at what that is. We start with a 45-minute call about your actual workflow, then put a fixed number in writing.
Portals, dashboards, client-facing platforms and internal tools that replace busywork. React and Next.js, built to load fast and change easily.
Web app development →Cross-platform apps for iOS and Android from a single codebase. Built for the field, the site and the truck — not just the desk.
Mobile app development →The part users never see, and the part that breaks when it matters. Databases, integrations and APIs engineered to hold their ground under real load.
Backend & API development →Not demos. Document pipelines, agents and copilots wired into your real workflows, with your data staying yours.
AI integration services →Every engagement follows the same rhythm. A free 45-minute call about the problem, then a fixed quote in writing within 48 hours — scope, timeline, price. No discovery-phase invoices, no “it depends” at the end.
From week one there is live staging: real, working software you can click through, with milestone walkthroughs every Friday. You’ll never wait three months to find out what you’re actually getting.
When it ships, you own the code, the infrastructure accounts and the documentation outright. Two weeks of support are included, then an optional monthly retainer — no lock-in, no hostage negotiations.
A small Melbourne builder running roughly four active sites needed its subcontractors to upload insurance, licences, SWMS and JSA documents — and check in and out of site. Their existing platform was powerful. It was also heavy, and most days it was faster to do the work by hand.
Delivered in about a month of active work, with a small monthly retainer for ongoing changes.
We use AI aggressively to move fast — drafting, refactoring, testing — and every line still passes through a senior engineer’s hands before it ships. You get agency-style speed without agency-style hand-offs.
Want the numbers in plain sight first? What software actually costs breaks down real price bands with nothing hidden. If you’re still deciding whether custom software is warranted, or your spreadsheets have quietly become your ERP, start with our guide to outgrowing spreadsheets or what manual data entry is costing you. Otherwise, book the call — it’s 45 minutes and useful even if we don’t work together.
First call is 45 minutes and genuinely useful, even if we do not work together.
