AI Agents

An AI agent is software that owns a job end to end, such as invoicing or compliance checks, and only hands you the exceptions. A first agent is usually proven in an Ignite build at $25K to $50K over four to eight weeks, then run and improved under Apex from $15K a month.

View
AI Readiness Assessment

Start with the free two-minute check — five questions, an honest read on where your business sits. Go deeper with a full assessment when you are ready to commit.

View
CTO as a Service

A fractional CTO — a senior technology leader part-time, owning your roadmap, managing your developers, and making the calls that cost real money when they go wrong.

View
Intelligent Automation

Robotic process automation (RPA) follows fixed rules, while intelligent automation also handles inputs that vary and need judgement, like an invoice in a new format. We map your process first, then automate the work that actually slows your team down.

View
Intelligent Document Processing

CodeFish builds intelligent document processing in Adelaide that reads invoices, dockets, forms and PDFs and writes the data into your systems without anyone typing it in. It copes when suppliers send the same information in fifty different layouts.

View
IoT and IIoT

CodeFish builds the software side of connected devices: the platform, the integrations and the dashboards that turn device data into decisions. A prototype costs $25K to $50K over 4 to 8 weeks, and a full fixed-price build starts from about $100K, usually taking 2 to 12 months with a 12-month warranty.

View
Mobile App Development

A custom mobile app for iOS and Android usually starts with a $25K to $50K Ignite prototype over four to eight weeks, then a fixed-price Amplify build from around $100K. Most builds take two to 12 months and include a 12-month warranty, and the app is yours.

View
Rapid Insight Workshop

A Rapid Insight Workshop is two sessions with your key people that map how work really gets done and where time and money are lost. It costs a fixed $9,000 + GST, and about three weeks later you get a prioritised roadmap, a business case and a product specification you keep either way.

View
R&D Tax Incentive

The R&D Tax Incentive offsets up to 43.5% of eligible spend. We help you work out what qualifies on your build and connect you with a specialist.

View
RPA Software

CodeFish builds RPA software in Adelaide that does the clicking, copying and re-keying your staff do between screens. We will also tell you plainly when a proper integration or an AI agent is the better answer.

View
Scoping Workshop

An accurate fixed-price quote comes from a scoping workshop that produces a full requirements document, so the price matches the real build rather than the brief. Start with a $9,000 + GST Rapid Insight Workshop: two sessions, with your plan delivered about three weeks later.

View
Service Design

We design the full service layer: every touchpoint your customers meet, and the processes and workflows your team runs behind them.

View
Systems Integration

Systems integration typically runs as a fixed-price Amplify build from around $100K, or as an ongoing Apex partnership from $15K a month. It suits operations businesses running five or more systems: we connect your ERP, CRM, warehouse and field systems so nobody retypes data.

View
UX Design

UX design decides how software behaves before anyone draws it. Research, journey mapping, wireframes, and testing with the people who will use it.

View
UI Design

Before your software is built, a UI designer should hand over production-ready Figma files with documented components, defined tokens and interaction notes. Developers can build from those without guessing, so what ships matches what was designed as the product grows.

View
Web App Development

A custom web app built in Adelaide typically starts with an Ignite prototype at $25K to $50K over four to eight weeks, then an Amplify build from around $100K at a fixed price. Most builds take two to 12 months, include a 12-month warranty, and you own the code.

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).

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).

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.
