Welcome to Bonsai Solutions
Trusted by SMEs across NZ & AUS
1. Basic requirements gathering. We start with one or two calls to understand your business.
2. Detailed proposal. A clear plan and cost before you commit to anything.
3. In-depth requirements gathering. This kicks off once the proposal's accepted, and lays the groundwork for the prototype.
4. Working prototype.
5. Upgrading the prototype to a professional build. We turn the validated prototype into a production-ready system.
6. Cyber-security hardening.
7. Testing. This culminates in a TASR – a Testing, Architecture & Security Report – for a smooth handover down the line if needed.
8. Launch.
9. Two months active monitoring. We fix any bugs that come up and stay on call for feature requests or changes.
10. Ongoing support or handover. Extra work is billed hourly, and we always fix bugs for free.
Whenever you need to, your business has full rights to use, copy, and extend the solution (with all associated code and data) as you see fit. We build systems to become real operational assets for the businesses we work with, not something you feel locked into or dependent on.
We're more than happy to maintain what we build, with a maintenance package tailored to your unique requirements. Alternatively, if you have someone technical on your team, we can bring them up to speed and hand over everything they need to maintain and evolve the software internally.
We like to start with some light requirements gathering before putting a number to your project. Things like whether you need additional apps built, what your security requirements are, what your compliance requirements are, and other details specific to your business all shape the final quote. As an AI-first company with a small, lean team, our development costs come in well below traditional IT firms, with our builds starting at $20k AUD.
We keep ongoing costs as lean as possible, and we don't charge per-seat or per-user licensing fees. Instead, you pay a one-off upfront development cost, followed by a lean ongoing cost that covers the hosting required to run your system. A maintenance cost only applies if we're the ones maintaining the platform on your behalf – if you'd rather manage it in-house, you're free to do so. Any additional work required after launch is billed at a standard hourly rate.
Yes. Security is taken seriously throughout the design and development process, with strict access controls, regular testing, and careful handling of sensitive credentials. On top of that, we host on established, enterprise-grade managed platforms, which take on a huge portion of the underlying infrastructure security for us. One of our lead developers also has a cybersecurity background within enterprise software environments, which heavily influences how we approach system design.
Your data is securely stored in Sydney, Australia, using an enterprise-grade managed database platform. Rather than hosting servers ourselves, we use professionally managed cloud infrastructure with built-in encryption, backups, security monitoring, and high availability. This allows us to focus on building reliable software while ensuring your data is protected using modern cloud security best practices.
