NEW PRODUCTS

People focused.
To us the purpose of tech is to help people go further.
While we love our craft we’re not here to serve technology or to impress other developers with our coolness, but rather to empathise with the very real needs and aspirations of our clients and to do everything we can to help them go further. Our people focused ethos is also at the heart of our team dynamics, supplier relationships and partnerships. Like many we are fascinated by the transformative power of tech, yet we also maintain a strong grasp of what it means to be human and why that is worth retaining.
Example Projects
Custom Software Development - Sport NZ
SPORT NZ (CLOUD APPLICATION)

As the crown entity responsible for sports in New Zealand Sport NZ is committed to the ongoing development of governance best practice on boards it provides funding to in order to maximise their effectiveness.

WENDY’S (ONLINE SYSTEM)

One type of project we sometimes get called into is taking over the ongoing development and maintenance of custom systems where the original vendor is not meeting the needs of the client. In Wendy’s case this meant getting our head into their custom build CMS/CRM system, moving it to a new server, making the front-end mobile responsive and then handling ongoing development needs from there.

CUSTOMER MONITOR (SAAS)

Perceptive’s Customer Monitor is a successful SaaS offering providing organisations with a constantly up to date “finger on the pulse” around how their customers are feeling, thinking and responding to business units, branches and sales people. Over 10 months Applicable took a conceptually good product with multiple issues through to being an excellent piece of SaaS software, technically and in terms of UX. (Due to success of this product it has since made sense for client to set up an in-house dev team to handle further ongoing maintenance and development.)

Native app development Auckland - Xpo Visitors
XPO (CROSS-PLATFORM APP)

XPO owns and runs more than a dozen of New Zealand’s largest business-to-business trade shows. They contracted us to create an app that would allow the sales people on stands to quickly capture visitor details (by scanning the QR code on visitor’s lanyards), along with responses, notes and even optional on the spot purchases. The end result has been a highly intuitive app that stand holders have been rapt with; a big win for XPO and their clients in both efficiency and experience.

Case study – The Carbon Natural app

Many New Zealanders share a passion for clean, green outdoor spaces and want to live in a country that is on the forefront of conserving the natural world. One of the most valuable assets we have in this endeavour is trees as they fix carbon out of the air, hold the soil to prevent run-off into waterways, create a habitat for living creatures, moderate temperature and add beauty.
