Don't rent your software. Own it.
Two engineers, based in Sydney.
Software built by Australian engineers, around the way you work. We host it and look after it, and you deal with the people who built it. Or we'll take over the system you already have.
Sound familiar?
Software that doesn't quite fit, and costs more every year.
If two or more of these sound familiar, custom software is worth a look.
You pay for several tools, and each one only half fits.
Spreadsheets fill the gaps between your tools, and nothing talks to your accounting package.
Subscription prices go up every year, and you have no say.
Your data sits with other companies, and getting it out is hard.
Everything depends on one person who knows how it works.
Already paying for a platform?
You pay for all of it. You use a corner.
Build just what you need.
If your team uses only a small part of a big platform, custom software can cost less and fit better.
- Build only the parts you use
- No per-seat fee that grows with your team
- Your data stays yours
Services
Software built for you, and looked after.
Built around how you work. Then we host it and look after it.
Build it to fit.
One system built around how you work, that you own, instead of a pile of subscriptions. Quoted per job or billed hourly.
Sales and customers
Know every customer, enquiry and quote in one place.
Day-to-day operations
Orders, jobs, stock and approvals that follow how you work.
Reports and dashboards
The numbers you check every week, without the spreadsheet.
Connections
Your tools talking to each other, so nothing is typed twice.
Portals
A login for your customers, suppliers or staff.
Practical AI
Search, summaries and drafting on your own data, where it saves time.

Where we've done this
A custom CRM, built and looked after by us.
A real system, in daily use today.
An industrial supplier
We built a custom CRM for a supplier of industrial equipment, and we host and look after it today.
See who we helpSomething else in mind? Most of what we build isn't specific to one industry, so just ask.
How it works
Three steps.
From first chat to ongoing care, with no surprises.
Free system check
20 minutes. You tell us what you run, who built it and what worries you.
Paid audit
We audit it. We review the system, hosting, backups and security, and write it up in plain English. If we can't look after it properly, we'll say so.
We look after it
Hosting, backups, updates and support for a monthly fee. New work is quoted or billed hourly.
Why SpringUp
Small on purpose.
Two Australian engineers, one point of contact, one bill.
One contact, one bill
We manage every client ourselves, and bring in engineers from our pool when needed. Your system, hosting and vendors all go through the same two of us, on one bill.
Onshore and on the other end
Email us and one of the two of us replies. No call centre, no ticket queue, no offshore handover.
You own it, always
Your code and data are yours, and you can export them any time. If you ever leave, we'll help with the handover.
100% Australian
We're local, our engineers are all Australian, and your data stays that way too.
About
Hi, we're Karl and Finley.
We started SpringUp about four years ago to bring our software skills together. We've worked with clients since 2009, and our years in banking and finance taught us how to build systems that handle critical work.
We've learned that good support matters as much as good software. SpringUp runs on trust and communication: you deal with us directly, and your developer is an email away.
Karl
I've been a developer and systems engineer since 2007, with years in site reliability engineering (SRE), keeping systems up, fast and recoverable. I like building things that are simple and dependable, then keeping them that way.
Finley
I'm a software engineer who spent five years building products in banking. I'm happiest working out what to build and why, and I like owning a project from the first idea through to running it.
