Software Co is a Sydney and Melbourne app development company. We work with founders and established businesses across Australia, taking each project from a worked-out plan to a live release, whether that’s an app in the App Store and Google Play or a web app your customers log into.
Most builds start with Product Planning and UX/UI design, so by the time development begins, the scope has already been defined. Planning covers business requirements, user research, competitor analysis, technology advice and feature scoping, and ends with a scope document and a fixed-cost estimate for the full project. That’s what lets us quote against a clear scope instead of guessing as we go. On the design side, we run user story workshops and move from wireframes to clickable prototypes, so you can review the app on screen before anyone writes production code.
We choose the technology that suits the product, budget and timeline. Our published case studies use React Native, ReactJS and Node.js, and cover a lending platform, a field operations app, a livestream shopping app and a healthcare platform.
Our clients range from founders launching a first product to established businesses replacing a spreadsheet, an old system or an app that has outgrown its first version. We work from our Sydney and Melbourne studios and with clients across Australia, in person or remotely.

Our 6-Step App Delivery Lifecycle
Discovery & Scoping
If you have not already been through our product planning process, we start here, confirming what the app needs to do, who it is for, and what a realistic scope actually looks like before any development work is quoted or scheduled.
Technology Selection
We decide between native development, for example Swift for iOS or Kotlin for Android, and cross platform frameworks like React Native or Flutter, based on your budget, timeline, and how much the app depends on device specific features rather than a fixed house preference.
UX/UI Handoff
If UX/UI design has already been completed, either with us or elsewhere, we build directly from the validated wireframes and prototypes, which keeps development close to what was actually tested with users rather than reinterpreted from scratch.
Agile Development Sprints
Development runs in short, visible sprints, so you can see working features as they are built instead of waiting until the very end to see anything real, and so scope issues surface early rather than at launch.
Quality Assurance & Testing
Every build goes through structured testing before release, covering functionality, performance, and device compatibility, so problems get caught before your customers find them rather than after.
Launch & Post-Launch Support
We handle App Store and Google Play submission, and stay involved after launch for fixes, updates, and scaling as your user base grows, rather than handing over the finished app and disappearing.
