Gold Coast
AI and custom software development on the Gold Coast
DevPro works from Surfers Paradise. The nearest thing to a local reference is the one below: eight tools replaced by one platform for a Gold Coast business, and 60% less manual handling out of it.
What being on the Coast actually changes
Very little about the code, and quite a lot about the delivery. DevPro's office is at 13/50 Cavill Ave, Surfers Paradise. Work starts by mapping how a business actually runs, which means sitting with the people who do the work, and that is the part distance makes expensive. A Gold Coast business gets that session in person without it becoming a travel line on the quote.
The team is 100% Australian-based, with people on the ground across Brisbane, the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast. Same timezone, same working day, no handover to an offshore night shift.
A Gold Coast build, and what came out of it
HBI Australia ran its operations across eight off-the-shelf tools. Each one did its job. Between them sat the re-keying, the chasing and the job status nobody could see without asking someone.
DevPro replaced the eight with one operations-first platform: unified job tracking and reporting, Microsoft 365 and SharePoint integrated rather than thrown out, and 60% less manual handling as the measured result. That is the whole shape of the work, and it is the shape most of these projects take.
Who this fits
SMEs with 20 to 200 staff, at the point where the tools that carried the business to here have started to cost more than they save. Three symptoms usually arrive together: too many systems with poor integration, work that gets re-keyed by hand, and leaders who cannot see what is happening without asking.
If none of that is true, a custom build is the wrong purchase. Configuring what you already own is cheaper and DevPro will say so.
What DevPro builds
- AI workflow systemsEnd-to-end processes with the manual handling taken out and the approvals automated.
- AI agents for operationsAgents that monitor, chase follow-ups and work inside the systems you already run.
- AI integration and orchestrationOne controlled execution layer across your tools, APIs and data, with oversight intact.
- Custom AI platformsThe build for when nothing off the shelf fits the way the business actually runs.
How the work runs
Four stages: Discover the business and define the real problem, Design the workflow, Build with integration and testing in the open, then Improve once it is live. Go-live is the start of that last stage, not the end of the project. You keep one senior contact who knows your system rather than a ticket queue.
Common questions
- Do you work with businesses outside the Gold Coast?
- Yes. The team covers Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast as well, and the work itself is delivered Australia-wide. The Gold Coast is where the office is, not the limit of the map.
- Do we have to replace Microsoft 365?
- No, and usually you should not. Where Microsoft 365 and SharePoint already fit, DevPro configures them properly. Where they do not reach, DevPro builds the missing piece and connects it to the rest.
- What happens in the first session?
- The workflow gets mapped, the first measurable result gets located, and the smallest practical starting point gets defined. No deck, and nothing to sign to have the conversation.
- How big does a business need to be?
- Most of this work suits 20 to 200 staff. Below that, off-the-shelf tools usually still win, and DevPro will tell you that rather than sell around it.
