The case studies

Four businesses.
Four different problems.

NDIS Provider Brisbane, QLD Titus CRM

Replacing a stack of disconnected NDIS tools with one platform built by someone who's run a provider.

"Gus doesn't just build software. He understands the sector from the inside. That's what makes Titus different from everything else we tried."

NDIS Provider · Brisbane, QLD

Problem

Generic CRMs built for sales teams, not for service providers managing rostering, NDIS plans, billing, and compliance. Constant workarounds, double-entry, and tools that didn't speak the language of the sector.

Solution

Titus CRM — purpose-built for NDIS and aged care providers. Rostering, plan tracking, claims, and compliance in one platform, built from lived operational experience inside a real provider.

Result

A single platform that fits how the business actually runs. No per-user fees, no lock-in, and a builder who picks up the phone because he ran a provider himself.

Community Organisation Auckland, NZ Poto AI

From spreadsheet chaos to 15 hours a week back — plus AI grant writing that paid for itself in the first month.

"We were drowning in spreadsheets. Poto gave us back 15 hours a week in admin alone. The AI grant writing paid for itself in the first month."

Community Organisation · Auckland, NZ

Problem

A community mentoring organisation running mentor matching, session notes, outcome tracking, and grant applications across a patchwork of spreadsheets. Funding at risk because reporting was always behind.

Solution

Poto AI — purpose-built for mentoring and community organisations. Mentor management, structured session logging, outcome reporting, and AI-assisted grant writing in one platform.

Result

15 hours per week recovered in admin time. AI grant writing recouped the subscription cost inside the first month. Reporting now ready when funders ask, not weeks later.

Trades Business Brisbane, QLD Custom 28-day AI build

3 hours a day back on quoting — paid for itself before the first month was out.

"We used the 28-day AI build to automate our quoting pipeline. Saved us 3 hours a day from the first week. Paid for itself before the month was out."

Trades Business · Brisbane, QLD

Problem

Senior estimators spending three hours every day producing quotes by hand — measurements, pricing, scope writeups, follow-ups. The bottleneck on every new job.

Solution

Custom 28-day AI build. Scoped in week one, first working version delivered by day 21, final version handed over on day 28. Automated quote generation tailored to the business's job types and pricing rules.

Result

3 hours per day saved from week one. Build paid for itself inside the first month. Estimators redirected to higher-value site work instead of paperwork.

Business Partner Melbourne, VIC On working with Gus

How Gus actually shows up when the work is hard.

"He showed up when nobody else would. That's who he is in business too. He doesn't quit until it's solved."

Business Partner · Melbourne, VIC

Context

Long-running business partnership across multiple projects. The kind of work where things get hard, scope changes, and most people quietly drop off.

What happened

Gus stayed in the work — answered the calls, did the unglamorous follow-ups, kept showing up when others didn't. Same posture he brings to every customer build.

Why it matters

AI software is only as good as the human behind it. The 28-day delivery promise only holds because the builder doesn't disappear after the deposit clears.

A note on attribution: Customer names are withheld at their request. Quoted outcomes (hours saved, payback period) are reported directly by the customer and reflect their own measurement of impact. Happy to put a serious prospect on a reference call — book a meeting and ask.

What's behind the numbers

Same pattern,
every build.

Whether it's an off-the-shelf platform or a custom 28-day build, the reason it works is the same: the person designing it has actually run the kind of business he's building for.

Built from inside the industry

20+ years across NDIS, aged care, youth justice, residential care, community services, construction, and trades. The bottlenecks aren't guesses.

Fixed 28-day delivery

First working version by day 21. Final by day 28. Fixed scope, fixed quote. No 6-month projects that quietly die.

Priced so it pays back fast

Ongoing support from $99/fortnight +GST. No per-user fees. Most customers report payback inside the first month.
