SaaS Application Development From Empiric Infotech LLP
Empiric Infotech LLP is a SaaS development company for Australian software teams that have customers and a roadmap but not the time or budget to hire another senior engineer in Sydney or Melbourne. You get a remote mid-to-senior developer, or a small dedicated team, working full time and only on your product, overlapping four to five hours of your afternoon on AEST. Australian SaaS comes with its own list: GST on local sales and tax invoices that carry it, BECS direct debit as well as cards, the Australian Privacy Principles and the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme, and customers who want their data kept onshore. Our Australian work includes Architecture CRM, which brings tasks, email, calendars and contacts into one workspace, with Google and Microsoft integrations. You are invoiced monthly in AUD, there is no superannuation or payroll tax because the developer is not your employee, a senior team lead reviews and tests every release, and the first 7 days are a risk-free trial.
What our SaaS development company delivers for Australian teams
One developer on your product for the long run, building the parts Australian customers and regulators expect.
Billing, GST and Australian payments
Stripe Billing with GST applied to Australian customers, tax invoices that show it, AUD pricing alongside USD for overseas customers, and BECS Direct Debit as well as cards. Failed payments are retried and chased automatically, so finance is not doing it by hand.
Privacy and data kept onshore
Product features for the Australian Privacy Principles: access and correction requests, retention rules written as code, and audit logs that let you work out quickly what happened if you ever have to assess a breach under the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme. Data stays in AWS Sydney or Azure Australia East when your customers or your policy require it.
The integrations Australian businesses run on
Xero and MYOB for accounting, HubSpot for sales, Slack, Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace for the team, with OAuth, webhooks and retries that keep working after the other side changes its API.
Ready for larger customers
Single sign-on through SAML or OIDC, role-based access, audit logs, and the controls larger Australian customers ask about in security reviews, such as multi-factor authentication, restricted admin access, backups and patching from the ACSC Essential Eight.
AI features inside the product
Assistants, search over each customer's own data and agents that act inside the app, with clear rules on which data the model sees per tenant, what each call costs, and what the product does when the answer is wrong.
Releases on Australian time
Your developer's day starts in your afternoon, so releases can go out after your business hours with someone online to watch them, behind feature flags and with regression checks on the paid flows.
How an Australian SaaS engagement starts
A developer on your backlog inside the first week, working through your afternoon.
A call in your afternoon
Thirty minutes after lunch on AEST, or in the morning for Perth teams. You walk us through the product, the stack and the next three things on the roadmap.
A written scope within 24 hours
A short scope, the skills it needs and an introduction to one developer who fits the stack. You meet them before anything starts. The NDA and IP assignment are signed first.
A 7-day risk-free trial
Your developer starts within 48 hours on a real backlog item. Day 7 is a real decision point, with a full refund if it is not a fit.
Monthly, invoiced in AUD
One invoice a month in AUD, with no superannuation, payroll tax or Fair Work obligations on your side. Standups in your afternoon, a senior team lead reviewing each release, and seven days' notice to stop.
SaaS development pricing: hourly or monthly
Both plans give you a mid-to-senior developer who works only on your product, with a senior team lead reviewing and testing every release. Monthly is for an ongoing roadmap: 160 to 172 hours of full-time work, billed monthly upfront. Hourly suits a defined piece of work, such as one integration or a billing change. No setup fee and no recruitment fee.
Hourly plan
- A dedicated developer, exclusive to you while you have hours booked
- Pay as you go - billed by the hour, time tracked, a weekly report
- Best for short, defined work; no monthly commitment
- Code review and pre-delivery testing by a senior lead, built in
Monthly plan
- A dedicated developer, full-time and exclusive - 160-172 hours a month
- The best value for an ongoing engagement
- Your repo, your cloud account, your tools
- Code review and pre-delivery testing by a senior lead on every release
- 7-day risk-free trial, monthly billing, cancel with 7 days notice
Dedicated team
- A dedicated team - developers plus a senior team lead who reviews and tests every release
- Add a developer (and a designer where the build needs UI/UX work) at the same rate
- Best for long-term, multi-track work; add a developer in 48 hours, no re-contracting
The first 90 days on a SaaS product
The usual shape of the first three months with an Australian SaaS team, run through your afternoons.
- Week 1
Access, setup and a first merged change
Repository and cloud access, a working local environment, a map of how deployments and environments work today, and a first pull request reviewed and merged. Day 7 is the decision point on the trial.
- Month 1
The first roadmap item in production
The highest-priority item shipped to production, behind a feature flag where it touches paying customers. Staging, CI and the release checklist are agreed with your team.
- Month 2
The harder parts of the roadmap
The work that usually waits: a billing change, a permissions overhaul, the integration a large account asked for, or the first AI feature. Each one ships with tests that cover the paid flows around it.
- Month 3
Ahead of the backlog
By month three your developer knows the codebase well enough to suggest work, not just take tickets: slow queries, fragile jobs, a refactor that unblocks the next quarter. You plan the next quarter together.
A dedicated developer vs an Australian SaaS agency, a contractor marketplace, or an in-house hire
| Empiric Infotech (dedicated developer) | SaaS development agency (fixed price) | Contractor marketplace | In-house hire | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| How you pay | A flat monthly fee per developer, or hourly for defined work | A fixed bid per phase; anything new is a change order | Hourly rates that vary by contractor; you track the hours | Salary, benefits, payroll tax, equipment and hiring time |
| Who works on your product | One mid-to-senior developer, only on your product, plus a senior team lead | A project team that moves on when the phase ends | Whoever you hire, with nobody reviewing their work | Your employee |
| Time to start | 48 hours | Weeks: proposal, statement of work, kickoff | Days to weeks | 3 to 5 months to hire |
| When the roadmap changes | Re-prioritise the backlog, no change order | Change order, new quote, new signature | Renegotiate the hours or the rate | Reassign internally, if you have the people |
| After a release | The same developer keeps shipping | A separate maintenance retainer | The contract ends and the knowledge leaves | The team stays, if they stay |
| Code and accounts | Your repository and your cloud account from day one; IP assigned to you | Yours on final payment | Yours if the contract says so; check the IP clause | Yours |
| Invoicing | One monthly invoice in AUD; no super, no payroll tax | Per agency terms | Per contractor (ABN, and check the contractor tests) | Payroll, superannuation, payroll tax, Fair Work obligations |
The comparison describes how each option usually works, not any one provider. Ask us for a written comparison against a quote you already have.

Why Australian SaaS teams choose a dedicated developer
Senior developers in Sydney and Melbourne are hard to hire and expensive to keep, and the search alone can take months. A fixed-price agency avoids the hire but only covers one phase of a product that keeps changing. A dedicated developer covers both gaps: one engineer who works only on your product and stays on it.
The overlap is better than most teams expect. Your developer overlaps three and a half hours of your working afternoon and stays live until midnight AEST, so the standup happens after lunch, questions get answered the same day, and work raised in the morning is usually done by the next morning at the latest. A project manager stays reachable well into your evening.
There is no Fair Work, superannuation or payroll tax overhead on your side, because the developer is not your employee. You own the code and the accounts from day one, a senior team lead reviews and tests each release, and you can stop with seven days' notice.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
A flat monthly fee per dedicated developer in AUD for 160 to 172 hours of full-time work, or an hourly rate for a defined piece of work. Current rates are in the pricing section above. It is a vendor engagement, so superannuation, payroll tax and Fair Work obligations stay off your books.
Your developer works 2:00 PM to midnight AEST, so Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane teams get live cover through the afternoon and same-day turnaround on anything raised after lunch. Perth teams get 12:00 noon to 10:00 PM AWST. The project manager is available from noon AEST.
Yes. Your developer works inside your own cloud account, so the data stays in the region you choose, such as AWS Sydney or Azure Australia East. Backups, logs and file storage are set up in the same region, which is usually what an onshore requirement actually means.
One invoice a month in AUD, paid by Australian bank transfer (BPAY or direct EFT) or international wire. Empiric Infotech LLP is established outside Australia, so invoices are issued without GST and you self-assess under ATO rules.
Yes. Architecture CRM brings tasks, email and contacts into one place for an Australian business, and Acceleread, a speed-reading training app, was built by a two-developer team across mobile, web and machine learning. Typical Australian engagements run 6 to 18 months.

Your developer starts within 48 hours, ships a first reviewed change in week one and puts the first roadmap item into production in month one. The time to a full first version depends on its scope, so we map it into monthly milestones on the scoping call and you see the plan before you commit. On a live product, work ships release by release from the first month.
Yes. Assistants, search over each customer's own data, document processing and agents that take actions inside the app. We set out which data the model may see for each tenant, track what each call costs, and decide what the product does when the model is wrong, before the feature ships.
Yes. You are billed monthly, upfront, and you can stop with seven days' notice. The first 7 days are a risk-free trial with a full refund if it is not a fit, and you can add a developer whenever the roadmap needs one.
