Our field notes from Devonport builds.
- Devonport is the freight gateway to Tasmania, where the Spirit of Tasmania sets the clock for a lot of local business.
- Ferry freight, agriculture, vegetable processing and logistics on the north west coast. Timetable-driven dispatch and customer updates are constant and still largely manual.

FAQ
How quickly can we see something running?
Week three for a clickable internal demo against real data. Week six for a slice your team can actually use. We hold ourselves to those numbers because they're what stops a project drifting into "endless discovery".
What's the smallest engagement you'd take on?
A two-week paid discovery for Devonport businesses that aren't sure whether the build is worth doing at all. You get a one-page write-up of what we'd build, what we'd skip, and what it would cost. About 30% of those discoveries end with us recommending you don't proceed.
Can you walk us through a comparable build?
Yes - on the first call we'll pick the closest engagement we've shipped to what you're describing and walk through the outcome, the headcount and the time it took. Average client recovers 12 hours/week within the first 60 days.
What tools do you build business automations on?
For business automations we usually reach for n8n, Make, Zapier, Vercel Functions, Cloudflare Workers. We're tool-agnostic at heart - we pick what your Devonport team can actually run after we hand the build over, not what looks good on a vendor sticker.
