Services

What we build.

Software for businesses whose rules are complicated: funding schemes, compliance, contracts, money. Most projects use more than one of these.

AI integration

Large language models connected to your documents and workflows, with guardrails and monitoring so the output can be trusted.

  • Document data extraction
  • Search over your own data (RAG)
  • Chat assistants
More about AI integration →

Project delivery

A fixed-price build with an agreed scope, an embedded team on a monthly retainer, or an architecture review before you commit to building anything.

  • Sprint planning & milestones
  • Risk & budget tracking
  • Stakeholder reporting

Our work

Systems we’ve delivered.

Most of these clients are under NDA, so we describe what each system does rather than naming the client or quoting results we can’t evidence.

ConstructionClient not named (NDA)

Construction Industry Platform

Scheduling, resource allocation and site reporting live in one place, so the question of where a job is actually up to has an answer that does not require three phone calls.

  • React
  • Java
  • AWS
  • PostgreSQL

FinTechClient not named (NDA)

BNPL Payment Platform

Credit decisioning at checkout speed, a merchant SDK that integrates without a project, and a collections workflow that escalates gradually rather than all at once.

  • React
  • Java
  • AWS
  • Redis

Also on the case-studies page: enterprise web work, and cross-border payments. The second is experience our engineers bring from earlier work at ChinaPayment, not a project delivered by Willneeds, and the page says so. All case studies →

A closer look · NDIS

Every July, the NDIS price guide changes.

On the day the new price guide lands, every provider’s invoicing is wrong until someone fixes it. Most of them fix it in a spreadsheet. The spreadsheet drifts, and then an audit arrives.

SRSHub and SIL Manager, the two NDIS platforms we built, keep the price guide as versioned data with an effective date, so a June invoice is never quietly repriced by the July guide. Invoice lines come from the roster of care, not from someone retyping them. Compliance reporting is an export, not a week of assembly.
