// service · custom development
When off-the-shelf stops fitting, we build what does.
We design and build custom software around your actual process — drawing on proven, existing components wherever they fit, and customising precisely where your business is genuinely different.
// is this you
Your process doesn't fit any SaaS tool, and workarounds are piling up.
No off-the-shelf tool actually fits
Your process has requirements — regulatory, operational, or historical — that no generic SaaS product was built to handle.
A previous build left technical debt
An earlier agency or contractor delivered something undocumented and fragile that nobody now wants to touch, let alone extend.
Procurement and security requirements are strict
Government and enterprise projects come with security, accessibility, and audit requirements that many smaller agencies are not set up to meet.
// what we deliver
End-to-end builds, delivered so someone else could maintain them tomorrow.
From a single integration to a full platform, scoped and delivered without cutting corners on documentation or handover.
End-to-end application & platform builds
From specification through to production deployment, for both greenfield products and additions to an existing environment.
Integration with what you already run
New software is built to work with your existing systems, not replace everything around it unnecessarily.
Documented, tested, maintainable code
Every build ships with the documentation and test coverage needed for your team, or any future partner, to take it over confidently.
A clean, deliberate handover
Handover is treated as a project deliverable in its own right — not an afterthought once the invoice is sent.
// why augaten
Built for teams who plan to still be using this software in five years.
Proven components, customised
We reach for established, well-supported technology first, and reserve custom engineering for the parts that make your business genuinely different.
No technical debt, by design
Scoping and delivery are structured to avoid the shortcuts that turn into next year’s emergency refactor.
Comfortable with enterprise & government requirements
Experienced working within the security, compliance, and procurement constraints that larger organisations require from smaller delivery partners.
// questions
Frequently asked questions
Do you work with our existing systems, or only greenfield builds?
Both. Most engagements involve integrating with systems you already run, and we scope compatibility with your existing stack as a first step, not an afterthought.
Who owns the code and intellectual property once the project is delivered?
You do. Ownership and licensing terms are set out clearly before work begins, and delivery includes everything a future team would need to maintain or extend the system.
Can you work within government or enterprise procurement and security requirements?
Yes — this is a core part of our practice. We scope engagements to fit the security review, documentation, and procurement processes that larger organisations require.
