The full picture

Businesses that have been operating for years accumulate systems that don't talk to each other. We fix that, and we build the things that don't exist yet.

Custom Software Development
Fully portable builds you own. Single or multi-tenant. Delivered to your infrastructure or ours.
Bespoke
Integrations & Middleware
Connect the systems that exist. POS, CRM, payment gateways, third-party APIs: 40 years of integration history.
Integration
Workflow Automation
Remove the manual steps. AI-assisted or rules-based, whatever fits the problem.
Automation
AI Voice Agents
Intent-aware agents that action calls, not just answer them. VAPI and Twilio, deployed to real phone numbers.
AI
Data & Reporting
Extraction, manipulation, transformation, and dashboards. If the data exists somewhere, we can surface it.

What clients say

Trusted by operators who can't afford to get it wrong.

"Brad took complete control of TopYard Rooftop and transformed it from an underperforming venue into a fully booked destination. Within a short period, we were turning over three times our licensed capacity every Friday and Saturday. He handled everything: strategy, food and beverage, staffing, marketing, and operations. He did not need to be managed. I have asked Brad to return."

Martha Tsamis Director, TopYard Rooftop

"Brad is embedded in our operations every week. He manages our critical IT infrastructure, handles POS updates that other providers say can't be done, responds to server emergencies, develops our operational systems, manages data collection and reporting, and serves as the final control gate on our payroll before it is processed. He is not a consultant we call occasionally. He is part of how we run."

Matt Talbot General Manager, Inflation Entertainment Complex

"Brad is my go-to for IT, e-commerce, AI and marketing advice. Highly recommended."

Andy Van Owner, Vicious Recordings

"Brad has been integral to the Ichi Group's digital operations. He built and integrated our web stores directly into our POS systems and has provided ongoing support across our venues for years. He understands hospitality, he understands technology, and he delivers."

Paul Adamo Director, Ichi Group

"Brad built and maintained the entire email infrastructure we used to reach our subscriber base at the Esplanade Hotel. He maintained our primary and secondary servers, managed our mailing lists, and delivered our weekly newsletters through a proprietary system that achieved Microsoft Return Path whitelisting. This was how our marketing reached our audience. Without that infrastructure, the communications did not arrive. Brad built a stand-alone, bulletproof solution at a time when nothing off the shelf could do it."

Paul Adamo Director, Esplanade Hotel, St Kilda

"JavaTop built and wrote the content for our NDIS landing page. The copy reflected exactly what OzMedical stands for: empathy, clarity, and putting the participant first. Both were delivered without fuss and work exactly as they should."

Martha Tsamis Owner, OzMedical
