Numbers that actually move your business.
Custom dashboards and data platforms from an Australian team. Pull your scattered sources into one source of truth, and make decisions from live data — not stale spreadsheets.
starts with a chat.
Custom software for the work you actually do.
Dashboards and data platforms are one part of what we do. We build custom software end-to-end — here's the rest of the picture.
Why build your own data platform?
Off-the-shelf BI tools get you a chart. A custom data platform gives you pipelines, models, and dashboards shaped around your business — and the IP to go with them.
One source of truth
Your numbers are scattered across systems, exports, and spreadsheets — each telling a slightly different story. A custom data platform aggregates them into one model everyone can trust.
Decisions from live data
Stale weekly spreadsheets keep you a step behind. Live dashboards and reporting surface the numbers that actually move the business, the moment they change.
You own the pipeline
The pipelines, warehouse, and data models are yours — not locked inside a vendor's BI tool. Build once, extend on your terms, with no per-seat reporting tax.
What does it cost?
Data platform builds scale with the number of sources, the depth of modelling, and how much reporting sits on top. Here's roughly where most engagements land.
Starter
From $50k / build
A focused dashboard over a few key sources, with the first pipelines in place.
Growth
$180k / build
A warehouse and modelled data feeding live reporting across multiple teams.
Enterprise
$350k+ / build
Enterprise data platforms — many sources, governed models, and embedded analytics.

Built with your team, not just for them.
Every build begins with our fixed-price Discovery engagement. The aim is simple: understand how your team actually works, sketch the solution together, and prove the design before a single line of production code gets written. It's the discipline our clients hire us for.
Talk to the people who use it
We sit with the people who'll touch the software every day. Their pain points are your requirements. We listen for what slows them down today and where a tool built for them would change the day.
Map the work, not just the wishlist
The actual processes the software has to serve: intake, approvals, handoffs, the exceptions. We document them in your team's language, not ours, so everyone agrees on what's being built before anything gets built.
Sketch the screens together
Whiteboards, paper, low-fidelity mockups. Visual conversation surfaces disagreements about how the work really flows in seconds, disagreements that written specs would let slip silently into the build.
Build a clickable prototype
Realistic enough to test. Your team plays with it, finds what's wrong, and tells us what to fix, cheaply, before a line of production code exists. Most surprises surface here, not in user acceptance testing.
Ship, refine, repeat
Two-week sprints. Working software in front of your team continuously. They feed back, we refine, they feed back again, until the tool fits their day so well they'd resist going back.
WHY WE WORK THIS WAY
Visual conversation moves faster than written requirements, and your team can tell us what's wrong before we build it. Mockups and prototypes turn a 6-month spec debate into a 6-week design loop. Cheaper iteration. Fewer surprises. Software your team actually wants to use.
Data platforms in the wild.
CleanBins
Alliance built and operates CleanBins — an AI computer-vision platform for council waste contamination detection. 6 councils, 600,000+ collections analysed, 98%+ accuracy, in partnership with the NSW EPA.
Foxie
Foxie helps people moving house get a great price on utilities. Liaising with providers is complex — each uses a different process and data format. We helped Foxie extend an off-the-shelf CRM with direct integrations into each utility on their panel.
Broker Engine
Stuck in an expensive Microsoft Dynamics CRM, Broker Engine moved off the platform and saved hundreds of thousands in annual license fees. The result is what many consider Australia's best CRM for mortgage brokers, with a 92% NPS.
The software is a perfect blend of the best of both our companies' thinking. We can't speak highly enough of the work Alliance Software has done.
