How long has CodeFish been building software?
15 years taking manual work out of Australian businesses: 70+ clients and 150+ projects across 9 industries.
70+ clients
From single tools to multi-year platforms, for businesses that already had something running.
150+ projects
Most of what we build replaces work someone was doing by hand.
9 industries
Transport, manufacturing, government, agriculture and more. Your operation is specific; the problems rarely are.
15+ years
Long enough to know what breaks after launch, and to still be around when it does.
Software, AI and advice, from one Adelaide team
Software development, AI and the advice around both, from our team in Adelaide. Most engagements use more than one of these, and every one is run by the people who do the work.
Custom software
Custom software — web and mobile platforms for operations that have outgrown spreadsheets and off-the-shelf tools. Designed and built by one team, scoped against a requirements document, quoted fixed price, and handed over with a one-year warranty and the code.
AI and automation
AI agents and automation pointed at one recurring operational job — reading documents, checking claims against rules, forecasting, answering questions from your own records. Every build is tied to a number: hours returned, errors cut, or cost removed.
Advisory
Consulting from the team that also has to deliver it. Technology strategy, independent architecture reviews and a prioritised roadmap with realistic costs — board-ready, and yours whether or not you build with us.
What have we built recently?
Three builds, three industries, three problems that were costing someone hours a week.
Most partners leave at launch. We stay and keep cutting cost.
Apex is for established Australian businesses that want one partner for software, data and AI over the long term. We work inside your business, build and run what you need, and report against goals we agree with you before work starts.
It starts with a Rapid Insight Workshop: two sessions with your key people to map how the work really gets done and where the hours and money go. Around three weeks later you get a roadmap with a business case attached. Everything after that is built from it.
How does working with CodeFish start?
Workshop
Two sessions with your key people to map where the hours and money go. A fixed $9,000 + GST.
Roadmap
About three weeks later you get a prioritised roadmap with a business case attached. It is yours whether or not you build with us.
Build or partner
Build at a fixed price through Ignite or Amplify, or keep improving the operation with us through Apex.
AgTech
Farm platforms, data tools, and the integrations that tie your systems together — so your people spend less time on admin and make better calls.
Business Services
As your firm grows, the admin piles up. We replace the systems you have outgrown and automate the repetitive work.
Construction
Site data reaches the office days late. We build the software that closes that gap — one record of the job, from the site to the invoice.
Emergency Services
Dispatch, coordination, and clear status for crews working under pressure — so your teams spend less time fighting their tools and more responding.
Energy
CodeFish builds energy software and apps in Australia that turn raw usage data into clear numbers, showing where the money goes and what an upgrade would change. Test an idea with Ignite ($25K to $50K, 4 to 8 weeks), build with Amplify (from $100K) or keep us on with Apex (from $15K a month).
Financial Services
Software that handles the day-to-day money work accurately, keeps you compliant, and holds up as the numbers and the client list grow.
Food & Beverage
Batch records, traceability, and compliance handled for you — plus the links between production, stock, and sales, so fewer things slip.
Health / NDIS
Look for a developer who builds in privacy protection and accessibility from the first design, and who cuts the admin so your team spends more time on care. Start with a Rapid Insight Workshop, then test with Ignite ($25K to $50K), build with Amplify (from $100K) or stay supported with Apex (from $15K a month).
Home Automation
Connected homes live or die on the software. We build the apps, integrations and platforms that make a smart home make sense to the person living in it.
Logistics Services
Plans change by the hour. We build the software that keeps your operation moving and shows your team what is happening right now.
Manufacturing
Production scheduling software for a mid-sized manufacturer should connect planning, scheduling and shop-floor data, so jobs stop slipping and everyone works from the same numbers. A prototype costs $25K to $50K over 4 to 8 weeks, and a fixed-price build starts from about $100K with a 12-month warranty.
Is your business ready to take on AI?
The systems are usually the easy part. What stops an AI project is the state of the information underneath it: records spread across four systems, the same customer spelled three ways, and the one spreadsheet that nobody will give up. Fix that and the rest follows.
Five questions, two minutes, no sales call. You get a readiness score and a plain-English read on what to sort out first — whether that work happens with us or not.
Questions businesses ask before working with us
Based in Adelaide, working across Australia. We work with clients locally and remotely, and prefer workshops in person when possible. All our staff work from our Adelaide office.
Every project is priced before work starts. A proof of concept through Ignite typically costs $25,000 to $50,000. A full build through Amplify starts from around $100,000 and is quoted fixed price against a requirements document. Ongoing work through Apex runs as a monthly partnership with a six-month minimum. All prices are AUD ex-GST.
Most builds take two to 12 months, depending on scope, and you get the timeline with the quote. A proof of concept is built to answer one question quickly. A full platform is planned in stages, so something useful goes live early instead of everything landing at once.
Yes. When a fixed-price build is finished, the code is yours, along with a one-year warranty. You can keep working with us, take it to another developer or run it with your own team.
Fixed-price builds include a one-year warranty, so if something we built breaks, we fix it. Many clients then move to Apex, where we keep improving the software and take on the next problem as an ongoing partnership.
Two sessions with your key people that map how the work really gets done and where time and money are lost. Around three weeks later you get a transformation strategy, a business case and a product specification. It costs a fixed $9,000 + GST, and the plan is yours whether or not you build with us.
Hire if you have years of steady work for one skill set. A senior developer in Adelaide earns a median of about $130,000, roughly $180,000 a year once super, leave and overheads are added, and hiring one can take months. A build usually needs architecture, analysis, design and development, which one hire rarely covers. We bring that mix as a small senior team, and the code is yours to hand to your own people later.
Start with a workshop
Two sessions, a fixed $9,000 + GST, and a written roadmap you keep, whether or not you build with us.
