tPanel is a Sydney software development company. We are based here - not a national brand with a Sydney phone number - and we build custom systems for businesses across the metro area and the Blue Mountains corridor.
That matters mostly for one reason: discovery works better in person when the process you want to fix involves a physical place. A warehouse floor, a workshop, a service counter, a job site. You can describe those on a call, but watching them is faster and more accurate.
Where We Work Across Sydney
We travel for discovery sessions across greater Sydney at no extra cost. Areas we can visit include:
- CBD and inner suburbs - on-site discovery for teams working in offices, service counters and other business premises.
- Parramatta and Western Sydney - walkthroughs of the work, systems and handovers your team wants to improve.
- Penrith and the Nepean corridor - discovery for a focused automation or a broader system, depending on the process.
- North Shore and Northern Beaches - meetings with your team to review requirements and existing tools.
- South and South-West Sydney - site visits where seeing physical operations helps define the software scope.
If you are outside these areas but still in NSW, we still work with you - remotely, or with a longer trip for the first session if the process warrants it.
Custom Software Services for Sydney Businesses
We scope the software around your workflow and existing tools. The following are examples of work we can discuss, rather than a ranking of local demand.
Custom CRM
For businesses whose off-the-shelf CRM cannot express how work is assigned, qualified or priced, including territory rules, referral sources and multi-office ownership.
Internal systems and portals
Approval workflows, staff portals and operations dashboards for teams that have outgrown a shared spreadsheet but do not need an enterprise platform.
Integration work
Connecting a job or quoting system to Xero, a CRM to a website, or a supplier feed to an internal database - removing the daily re-keying that nobody budgeted for.
Field and mobile apps
For teams doing the work away from a desk: site inspections, job sign-off, photo capture, offline data entry.
What It Costs
The same scope uses the same pricing across Australia. The development ranges below exclude GST:
- Single workflow or automation: A$3,000-6,000
- Focused business system: A$12,000-45,000
- Multi-module platform: A$50,000+, delivered in stages
- Optional hosting and maintenance: standard plan A$1,000 + GST/month, not per seat. Complex systems are quoted separately. You may self-host or use another provider.
We agree a fixed price for the development scope before work starts. Scope changes are agreed separately, and the maintenance plan is not compulsory. Full breakdown: custom software cost in Australia.
Before You Enquire
Two things worth knowing, because they save everyone time.
- We will tell you if you should buy a product instead. If your process is close to standard, an off-the-shelf tool is cheaper and works immediately. We say this often enough that it is worth stating upfront rather than discovering it in week three.
- Choose delivery arrangements that suit the work. Compare scope, communication, handover and ongoing costs as well as location. We can meet in greater Sydney when seeing the process in person is useful. The cost guide explains factors to compare.

FAQ
Can't see your question here? Tell us what you're trying to build and we'll answer it directly - no sales script.
Does tPanel have an office in Sydney?
Yes. tPanel Solution is a Sydney-based company (ABN 40 167 463 854), operating since 2014. Discovery sessions across greater Sydney are done in person where that is useful; the build work itself runs the same way regardless of location.
Do you travel to Parramatta, Penrith or Western Sydney?
Yes, discovery sessions across greater Sydney are available at no extra cost. We agree the visit in advance and focus on the workflow, people and existing systems that need to be understood.
How much does custom software development cost in Sydney?
A$3,000-6,000 for a single workflow, A$12,000-45,000 for a focused business system, and A$50,000+ for a multi-module platform, excluding GST. Optional standard system hosting and maintenance is A$1,000 + GST per month, not per seat. Complex systems are quoted separately. You may self-host or use another provider; the maintenance plan is not compulsory.
How long before we see something working?
For a focused system, typically 6 to 12 weeks to a first usable version. Projects are staged deliberately so the team is using something real before the whole scope is finished.
Can you work with our existing systems rather than replacing them?
Usually that is the better answer. Most projects involve connecting to Xero, an existing CRM, a supplier portal or an internal database rather than replacing a working tool.
Working with clients across Australia
Based in Sydney, tPanel provides custom software development for clients in Melbourne and across Australia.
Whether your stakeholders are in Sydney or spread across states, we agree remote walkthroughs and progress meetings to keep the project moving together.
