Custom Software Development Company in Australia
Looking for a custom software development company Australia teams can work with every afternoon? BinaryBrill is a software engineering consultancy with 45+ senior, in-house engineers. We build for Australian startups and for established companies that have outgrown off-the-shelf tools.
Our engineering centre is in Mohali (SAS Nagar), Punjab, India. Delivery is remote. We have no office in Australia. What you get is a senior team that is online when your afternoon starts, and engineers who talk to you directly.
A senior engineer replies within 24 hours, not a sales rep.
Custom software development company Australia: who it is for
We work with two kinds of Australian client. One is a startup that needs a product built properly: a SaaS platform, a mobile app, an AI feature. The other is an established business whose spreadsheets and patched-together systems now slow people down.
Custom software is not always the answer. If a packaged product does the job, buy it. We will say so on the first call.
- Two or three systems that do not talk to each other, so staff re-key the same data.
- A process unique to your business that packaged software forces you to bend.
- An older system that still works but that nobody dares to change.
Why Australia companies work with an engineering team in India
The Australian tech-skills shortage is a daily problem for hiring managers. Senior engineers are hard to find and slow to hire, and one resignation can stall a roadmap. Local hiring also costs more than salary: recruiters, onboarding and the risk of a poor fit.
A team in India is another route. You get senior engineers without the hiring cycle. We do not subcontract, so the people who demo your work are the people who wrote it.
There are trade-offs. We are remote, and your mornings fall before our day begins. The shared window is the afternoon, so we plan meetings and demos inside it. Work that needs a person on site every day is not a fit, and we will say so early.
What we build for Australian businesses
- Custom software development for internal systems, customer portals, web and mobile apps and SaaS products.
- Custom ERP development for firms whose operations do not fit a packaged ERP. We also work with Odoo, Salesforce and SAP.
- Enterprise integrations that connect accounting, CRM, ecommerce and operations systems so data moves once.
- Workflow automation that takes approvals, data entry and reporting off your team's desks.
- AI automation systems, including LLM apps and AI agents, doing a bounded job inside a process you control.
- Dedicated development teams that extend your own engineering group, working on your backlog.

Cities we serve in Australia
Sydney
Financial services, fintech and professional services. Builds here lean on compliance, audit trails and links into finance systems.
Melbourne
Franchise and multi-site operations, logistics and retail. The common thread is many locations on one system.
Brisbane
We work with Brisbane teams remotely. Queensland has no daylight saving, so Brisbane stays on Australian Eastern Standard Time and the overlap with our team does not shift in summer.
Based elsewhere? The model is the same. Perth is only 2.5 h ahead of India, so its shared hours are longer and fall at a different point in the day. We agree them on the first call.
New Zealand teams
We also work with New Zealand businesses, remotely from Mohali, in two-week sprints. The working window differs from Australia's, so we agree it with you at the start. New Zealand has its own privacy law. Your legal adviser confirms what applies, and we build to the data location they set.
Industries we work with in Australia
These are sectors where Australian businesses often need software that packaged tools do not provide. Here is what the needs usually are and how we would approach them.
Franchise and multi-site services
Franchisors need one brand and a view across many operators. We design roles and permissions first, then the screens.
Logistics
Logistics teams usually need live status and cleaner handovers. We map where information is lost and fix those points first.
Financial services
Lenders, advisers and insurers need clear records of who did what and when. We build audit trails in from the start.
Health
Health providers hold sensitive information in fragmented systems. We limit access, minimise copies and host onshore when you need it.
Construction
Construction firms run work across sites and subcontractors. We build tools that work on a phone and tolerate poor connections.
Mining and resources
Resource operators often rely on remote sites and older systems. We connect what exists, then replace parts in order of risk.
How we work across time zones
Your afternoon is our morning. East-coast Australia is 4.5 h ahead of Indian Standard Time (IST), and 5.5 h ahead in daylight saving, roughly October to April.
| Where | Gap from IST | Shared window |
|---|---|---|
| East coast, standard time (AEST) | 4.5 h ahead | About 13:30 to 18:00 AEST (09:00 to 13:30 IST) |
| East coast, daylight saving (AEDT) | 5.5 h ahead | About 14:30 to 18:00 AEDT |
| Brisbane, all year | 4.5 h ahead | About 13:30 to 18:00 AEST |
| Perth | 2.5 h ahead | Agreed at the start |
Stand-ups, reviews and the sprint demo sit inside the shared window, so you see working software and decide in the same conversation. Outside it we work from written tickets. A question raised at 09:00 in Sydney is answered the same afternoon.
Integrations with the tools Australia businesses use
We build integrations through each product's API, and we check in discovery what that API allows.
- Xero and MYOB: invoices, customers and payments flowing between accounts and your own system.
- Shopify: orders, stock and customer records connected to your back office.
- HubSpot and Salesforce: leads, accounts and activity kept in step with your software.
- Microsoft Dynamics 365: custom logic and data exchange around processes it already runs.
Data protection and compliance
Most Australian businesses are shaped by the Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian Privacy Principles. The Notifiable Data Breaches scheme adds rules on reporting breaches. We are engineers, not lawyers, and your legal adviser confirms what applies.
In the build, we collect only the data a feature needs, restrict access by role and keep logs. When data must stay onshore, we host it in an Australian cloud region, such as AWS Sydney or Melbourne, or Azure Australia. We decide that at the start, because moving data later is hard.
Recent work
Our Australian case study is Jim's Group, a multi-service franchise network. It began as a part-time gardening round started by Jim Penman, who founded the mowing business in 1982 while completing a PhD in history at Latrobe University.
It has since grown into a multi-division franchise operation. The digital presence has to carry that scale: many service lines, many franchisees, one brand. Read the Jim's Group case study or browse the portfolio.
Engagement models and pricing
We do not publish prices, because cost follows scope. Instead we offer a clear sequence.
- Paid discovery: a short, paid piece of work to study your process and write down what will be built.
- Fixed scope and price: a written scope and a fixed price for the build.
- Two-week sprints, each ending in a working demo.
- Documented handover, so your team or another supplier can carry on.
- Dedicated teams, if you would rather extend your own group than scope a project.
You own all code, IP, documentation and pipelines from day one.
FAQs
How much does custom software development cost for an Australian business?
It depends on scope, and we will not guess a figure on a web page. We start with a short paid discovery, then give you a fixed scope and a fixed price for the build.
How do you work with Australia teams across time zones?
East-coast Australia is 4.5 h ahead of IST, or 5.5 h in daylight saving. We share about 13:30 to 18:00 AEST, hold demos inside it and work from written notes outside it.
Can you integrate with the tools we already use, such as Xero or MYOB?
Yes. We build through each tool's API, including Xero, MYOB, Shopify, HubSpot, Salesforce and Microsoft Dynamics 365. In discovery we check what the API allows.
How do you handle data protection and privacy law in Australia?
We design around the Privacy Act 1988, the Australian Privacy Principles and the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme. When you need data kept onshore, we host in an Australian cloud region. Your legal adviser confirms the legal position.
Who owns the code and IP?
You do. You own all code, IP, documentation and pipelines from day one.
Do you have an office in Australia?
No. Our engineering centre is in Mohali, Punjab, India, and delivery is remote. You deal directly with the senior engineers doing the work.
How soon will we see working software?
After the short paid discovery, we work in two-week sprints. Each sprint ends with a working demo, given by the engineers who wrote the code.
