Custom software

Software shaped around how your business actually runs

Off-the-shelf tools are fast to buy and slow to bend. We ship focused web apps and integrations so your team spends less time fighting spreadsheets.

Discovery starts with workflows: who does what, which systems hold the truth, and where manual work creates risk. From there we propose the smallest release that removes real pain—then iterate with usage data instead of guesswork.

Security and privacy are part of scope, not an afterthought: least-privilege access, secrets handled properly, and logging that helps you audit without drowning in noise. We align with NZ privacy expectations and can work with your legal or IT advisors when required.

Typical deliverables

  • Role-based web apps with authentication and audit-friendly activity trails.
  • REST or GraphQL APIs with documented contracts for partners or mobile clients.
  • Background jobs, webhooks, and sync between tools like Xero, Stripe, or custom databases.
  • Observability hooks (error reporting, uptime checks) suited to your support model.

If you are not ready for custom engineering yet, our web development track gets a credible marketing site live first so later product work plugs into a stable foundation.

Typical projects include internal admin tools, client portals, booking and scheduling extensions, reporting dashboards, and API integrations between CRMs, payments, and operations tools. If it runs in a browser or behind an API, we can usually help scope it.

We break work into milestones—discovery, MVP, hardening, and optional enhancements—with fixed quotes per milestone where possible. You approve each phase before we proceed, so scope creep is visible, not surprising.

Yes. We can augment your team for a specific release, own a subsystem, or pair on architecture and code review. We document APIs and deployment steps so handoff to your team is straightforward.

We can deploy to Vercel, Azure, AWS, or your preferred NZ-friendly provider, with infrastructure-as-code or documented runbooks depending on complexity. Ongoing retainers are optional and scoped separately.

Start with our web development service at jnok.co.nz/services/web-development. Many clients later add a portal or automation once the core site is live—we design URLs and analytics so that evolution is natural.
