Solving problems with software

We partner with forward-thinking organisations to create software that balances usability, cost and time to market. The result? Software products that make doing business a little easier every day.

Our Approach

How we're different

Delivering for over 15 years.

For over 15 years, we’ve delivered beautifully simple software for forward-thinking organisations to help people live and work more efficiently and effectively.

The search for simplicity.

We take the time to develop care and understanding for users until the technology melts into the background. The goal? To create software that people actually enjoy using.

The power of partnership.

We’re firm believers in collaboration. Bring us your problems and ideas, and together we’ll co-create solutions and debate any trade-offs with egoless honesty.

It’s pretty exciting that our staff have been given the permission to do things differently at the scene. We’ve also given them a tool that enables them to do that. To me, that clearly exemplifies the care that you can put in when you’re no longer tied up in process.

You could say BIG X existed in our heads for a while. We needed a partner who would listen to us, challenge us and work with us to build something great. Smudge has done all three.
