Boutique technical studio · Melbourne
Your business has outgrown the way it operates. The fix is usually simpler than you think.
Figment Labs works with small and medium-sized businesses to find where technology can save them time and money — then we build it. From custom software and AI tools to internal dashboards and automated workflows.
A decade building software with teams like these
The bit that probably sounds familiar
Most growing businesses look a little like this from the inside.
- You're re-entering the same data in two places because your systems don't connect.
- You've got a process that works fine until someone's on leave, and then it falls apart.
- You've heard that AI can automate half your admin, but you have no idea where to start.
- You built a spreadsheet to solve a problem three years ago and now the business runs on it.
- A developer quoted you $40K for something that felt like it should cost $8K.
These aren't unusual problems. They're what most growing businesses look like from the inside. The good news is they're solvable — usually faster and cheaper than people expect.
What we do
A senior engineer who can look at your whole operation — and build what you need.
Build things from scratch
If you have an idea for a product or an internal tool and you need someone to take it from concept to working software, that's the core of what we do.
Fix what's slow
Most operational pain comes from manual steps, disconnected systems, and workarounds that have become load-bearing. We find them and replace them.
Bring in AI where it actually helps
Not “AI strategy” — actual implementation. If there's a workflow in your business where AI would save meaningful time, we'll tell you honestly and then build it.
Connect your existing tools
Often the software you already pay for can do far more than you're using it for. Sometimes it just needs to be connected properly.
The work speaks for itself, even if we can't name names
Most of the work we do sits inside businesses that don't advertise it.
A custom CRM for a real estate group. An automated pipeline that cut a client's weekly reporting from four hours to fifteen minutes. A product built from scratch and launched on the App Store. We work under NDA for most clients, which means we can't always point to logos — but we're happy to walk through the kind of problems we've solved and whether they match yours.

“Before this, reception was fitting reminder calls and recalls into whatever gaps they could find between patients. The system Kalana built just gets on with it. We have fewer missed appointments, fewer sticky notes, and the team can stay focused on the person at the desk.”
“I used to finish orders, then start another job copying details into the print supplier portal. It was boring, easy to mess up, and always happened late at night. Now the orders move across on their own, so I can spend that time drawing or packing prints.”
The first conversation is free and usually pretty useful.
