Delivery-team overhead
Hiring a full team to ship one product means months of ramp-up, coordination cost, and fixed payroll before a line ships.
AI AGENTIC SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT
We build production web apps and micro-SaaS for consultancies and established firms, on a platform that already exists. Human architecture, agent execution. The custom work is yours.
THE PROBLEM
Traditional delivery scales with headcount: more developers, more coordination, more overhead. Agentic shops promise an escape, but almost none can show governed, production-grade delivery under real CI/CD and audit constraints.
Hiring a full team to ship one product means months of ramp-up, coordination cost, and fixed payroll before a line ships.
Scoping, staffing, and sprint cycles stretch delivery. The business waits while the market moves.
Most shops added "agentic" to their copy in 2025. Sandboxed demos are not governed production delivery.
WHAT WE BUILD
Turn your method into web software you own and sell. We build it, run it, and keep it moving.
One system shaped to how you work. Not another subscription.
COSTS
All figures ex GST.
One-off, up to go-live.
Design and build are typical ranges based on functional scope.
Monthly from go-live. Delivered by Cellarise or another software partner.
A point is a scored piece of delivered work, not an hour.
The custom work is yours once each milestone is paid. You get a permanent, royalty-free licence to the platform under it. If you leave, you take your code, the platform code and your data.
VALUE
Set your users and scope to see what each step costs and what has to be true for it to pay back. All figures ex GST.
Who will use it, or pay for it. Above 500 users, hosting and support are scoped in the review.
Scope
One core workflow, up to three roles, no integrations.
Spent by go-live: $31,900, about 8 weeks after the audit. Then $950 a month.

To pay back in year one
About $180 a user a month
Then about $47.50 a user a month covers operating costs. Everything above that is margin.
Optional. What you plan to charge each user.

Your own web system
Five years is the system cost plus 60 months of hosting and support. The subscription is seats times the monthly price times 60.
At 20 users the subscription costs $28,900 less over five years. If an off-the-shelf tool fits your process, it is probably the better buy.
Tick what applies. Nothing here changes the figures above.
Phones and tablets keep working with no signal.
Card payments and recurring billing.
Separate accounts, roles and data.
Several people work on the same records at once and see each other's changes live.
Who changed what, and when.
For example CRM, calendars, finance and record management systems.
Hosting and support above the top band.
Agents that draft, check and route work alongside your team.
A worked example, not a quote. System cost is the audit ($1,900), design stage ($5,000) and build ($25,000). Operating cost is hosting ($200 a month) and support ($750 a month) at 20 users. Build price follows roles, workflows and integrations, not user count. Your design stage business case works out your own figures.
HOW WE WORK
The same systematic, repeatable process Cellarise uses to build its own platform. Human expertise sets direction; agents do the execution; governance keeps it production-grade.
A human architect scopes the system, sets the constraints, and breaks the work into agent-sized tasks.
The agent workforce implements in parallel against the architecture and explicit acceptance criteria.
Every change runs through governed CI/CD: automated tests, review gates, and a full audit trail.
Production deploys to Australian-hosted infrastructure, then the loop continues for every change.
PROOF
Cellarise builds and ships its own platform with the same agentic SDLC. The Electronic Work Diary (EWD) is going through regulator scrutiny. Heavy Vehicle Audit (HVA) is on the same platform. You are not buying a slide-deck process; you are buying the one we use on ourselves.
