Best Software Company in Perth
Base Analytics designs, builds and operates software. We ship custom web applications, mobile apps and SaaS platforms for Perth businesses — and we run our own products with more than 160,000 users on them.
Every software company in Perth will tell you they build “custom solutions”. The useful question is whether they can show software that is still in production, still supported, and still making money for someone. That is a much smaller list.
This page covers what we build, how we work, what to ask any Perth software company before you sign, and the products we run ourselves.
Software We Build
From a single internal tool to a multi-tenant platform with billing and mobile apps — engineered by the same team that runs our own products.
Custom Web Applications
Internal tools, client portals and line-of-business systems built on Next.js, TypeScript and PostgreSQL — engineered to be fast, accessible and maintainable.
Mobile Apps (iOS & Android)
React Native and native apps taken from concept to store listing: authentication, offline support, push notifications and release management.
SaaS Products
Multi-tenant platforms with billing, roles and permissions, admin dashboards and the operational tooling needed to actually run a product.
Data Platforms & APIs
Pipelines, dashboards and integrations that turn operational data into reporting leadership can act on — Power BI, SQL Server, Azure and Fabric.
AI & Workflow Automation
Document extraction, classification, assistants and automated workflows integrated into the systems your team already uses.
Security & Compliance
Authentication, encryption, audit trails, Australian data residency and Essential Eight alignment built into delivery — not retrofitted.
Software We Built and Still Operate
Most agencies hand over a project. We also run production platforms — so uptime, security and maintainability are not hypothetical for us.
FreeCare
A multi-tenant healthcare CRM and practice management platform used by clinics daily — invoicing, clinical records, booking and payments.
Yaar
A social platform for sharing moments, with moderation, media pipelines and mobile apps on iOS and Android.
3AM
A sleep-tracking companion that works entirely on-device, built because the market's apps all demanded a cloud account.
How to Choose the Best Software Company in Perth
Six checks that predict whether you end up with a working product or a maintenance bill.
They can show software they still run
A portfolio PDF proves someone once shipped a project. A product still in production — with real users, real incidents and real maintenance — proves the team can operate what it builds.
The team is in-house and in Perth
Ask who writes the code. If the answer is a subcontractor you have never met, estimation, security review and change control all become someone else's problem.
You own the code and the accounts
Repositories, cloud accounts, domains and third-party services should be in your name from day one. Walk away from any arrangement where the vendor holds the keys.
Scope is fixed, milestones are written
Fixed-scope milestones with a written definition of done keep budgets honest. Open-ended hourly builds are fine for discovery, rarely for delivery.
Handover is documented, not implied
Architecture notes, environment setup, deployment runbooks and test coverage. If the only person who understands the system is the person who built it, you do not own it.
Support continues after launch
Software is a service, not a delivery. Ask what monitoring, on-call and iteration look like once the launch invoice is paid.
How We Deliver Software
Discover
Workshops with the people who will use the system. We map workflows, constraints, integrations and what success is measured by.
Design
Architecture, data model, interface prototypes and a delivery plan with milestones, risks and a fixed scope.
Build
Two-week iterations with working software at the end of each one. You review progress in the app, not in a status report.
Launch
Performance, accessibility and security checks, data migration, training and a documented cutover.
Support
Monitoring, bug fixes, iteration and roadmap work under a support agreement — or a clean handover to your own team.

Perth Software Development — FAQs
How do I choose the best software company in Perth?
Ask to see software the company still operates, not just a portfolio. Confirm where the developers are based, who owns the repository and cloud accounts, whether scope and milestones are fixed in writing, and what support looks like after launch. Those five answers tell you more than any capability deck.
How much does custom software cost in Perth?
A focused web application typically lands between $20,000 and $60,000. Multi-tenant SaaS platforms and larger line-of-business systems generally run from $80,000 to $250,000+ depending on integrations, compliance requirements and mobile apps. Base Analytics quotes fixed scope after a discovery workshop so you see the number before the build starts.
How long does it take to build an app or platform?
A defined web app or internal tool takes 8–14 weeks from kickoff. A mobile app with backend, payments and store review usually takes 12–20 weeks. Larger platforms are delivered in phases so value lands early rather than at the end.
Do we own the code you write?
Yes. Intellectual property transfers to you, and repositories, cloud accounts and third-party services are set up in your name. We also provide documented handover so another team can maintain the system if you choose to move on.
What technology stack do you use?
TypeScript, React and Next.js on the web; React Native and Swift for mobile; Node.js and Python on the backend; PostgreSQL, Supabase and SQL Server for data; Azure and AWS for infrastructure; Power BI and Microsoft Fabric for analytics. We choose the stack to fit the problem and your team's ability to maintain it.
Can you take over an existing codebase?
Often, yes. We start with a technical review covering architecture, dependencies, security and test coverage, then give you an honest assessment: continue, refactor or rebuild. If the existing system is sound, we will say so.
Have a product to build?
Tell us what you are trying to build and we will come back with an honest scope, a timeline and a fixed price — or tell you if it is not worth building yet.
