Australian PropTech has attracted more than AUD 2 billion in funding and is growing at over 16% a year, and it isn’t spread evenly across the country, it’s concentrated specifically in Sydney and Melbourne, where property activity and technology investment genuinely overlap. Software Co builds PropTech and real estate software for agencies, developers, property managers, and investors across both cities and Australia more broadly, from listings and CRM platforms through to full property management systems.
Property software carries real legal weight most categories don’t. A platform handling tenancy applications, lease documents, or rent collection needs to be built around the Privacy Act 1988, Australian Consumer Law, and the specific tenancy framework of whichever state it operates in, from the first architecture decision, not added once a compliance issue has already surfaced. We build with that context understood from day one, the same approach already applied to fintech and healthcare software elsewhere in our work.
Why Property Leaders Partner With Software Co for Custom PropTech
Most PropTech platforms fail the same way most software fails in any regulated category, they get built by a team that understands the code but not the workflow, a lease renewal, an inspection schedule, a strata compliance requirement. We build around how property actually operates, agencies, developers, and property managers, not around a generic CRM template with a property label stuck on it.
Australian Regulatory & State Tenancy Compliance Architecture
State Tenancy Framework Compliance
Workflows natively structured around specific state legislation, including the NSW Residential Tenancies Act, Victoria Residential Tenancies Regulations, and Queensland RTA rules for lease notices, bond deposits, and inspection timelines.
Privacy & Biometric Data Security
Full adherence to the Privacy Act 1988 and Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) governing the handling, storage, and retention of sensitive tenant identification documents, background checks, and financial records.
Bank-Grade Financial Integrity
Rent processing and trust accounting modules built with automated reconciliation features, end-to-end encryption, and audit logging to satisfy real estate institute (REI) and state licensing standards.

Our 5-Step PropTech Delivery Lifecycle
Discovery & Compliance Scoping
We map what the platform needs to do and what regulatory context it operates in, the Privacy Act, Australian Consumer Law, and the tenancy framework of the relevant state, before any development is scoped.
Design
We design around real property workflows, an agent's day looks nothing like a property manager's, and the platform needs to reflect whichever one it's actually built for.
Development & Integration
Development includes any integration with existing listing portals, accounting systems, or CRM tools already in use, so the platform fits into how the business already operates.
Testing & Launch
We test against real property scenarios, a full leasing cycle, a maintenance request end to end, before launch, since these are the workflows that actually determine whether the platform gets adopted.
Post-Launch Support
We stay involved after launch for updates and support as the portfolio or listing volume grows, since property software needs to scale with the business rather than needing a rebuild at the next stage.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does property management software need to comply with specific privacy laws?q
Yes, the Privacy Act 1988 governs how tenant and buyer data is handled, and state-based tenancy laws add further requirements depending on where the property is located. Both are designed into the architecture from the start.
Can you build AR features into a property platform, like virtual walkthroughs?
Do you build for agencies, developers, or property managers specifically?
Can the platform integrate with existing listing portals or accounting systems?
