Software product studio / Brisbane, Australia
Zenith Consulting Services designs, builds and ships bespoke software end to end, from first working prototype to production, with support after launch. Web, mobile, desktop and cloud, AI-native throughout. You commission it, you own it.
No spec needed. Not sure we are the right fit? Tell us anyway.

You do not need to know how to specify software, or which framework anything should be built in. Bring the problem and what you want to be true once it is solved. We do the architecture, the security, the engineering and the hundred decisions in between, and hand back a product that is fast and safe by the time it reaches production.
01Prototype
A working thing in weeks, not a slide deck.
02Build
Production engineering, security and architecture done properly the first time.
03Production
Shipped, deployed and running on your own cloud accounts.
04Support
Ongoing support is optional, and most clients take it. The build does not end at handover unless you want it to.
Every build is broken into milestones. Each one is scoped and priced before it starts, so you know exactly what it costs and what you get for that price, no hourly rate and no surprise invoice. Want to add something once you have seen the first milestone? We scope and price that into the next milestone. As a client, you have certainty about the overall build cost from day one.
New products, and full rewrites of a prototype or an app that has outgrown itself. What we will not do is patch around someone else’s codebase or supply bodies to your team.
The code, the cloud accounts and the intellectual property are yours from day one.
We don’t disappear at launch. Support just moves to an hourly rate.
Environmental science
Automated reporting for contaminated land assessments, against NEPM and state EPA guidelines. Raw lab data in, audit-ready report out, days down to minutes. In production with paying customers.

Project scheduling
A desktop app for Windows and macOS that reads Microsoft Project schedules and proves their health: DCMA 14-point checks, Monte Carlo risk forecasting and a built-in AI assistant. A 3,000-task master schedule analysed in seconds, entirely on your own machine.
Insurance and insurtech
A working prototype of automated broker workflows, built to prove the idea before committing to a full platform build. The small end of what we take on.
Architecture, access control and data handling are decided at the start, not retrofitted after a review. We have led ISO 27001 implementations and build to that standard whether or not you need the certificate.
Performance is a design decision, not a tuning exercise at the end. We pick the data model, the language and the cloud architecture for the load the product will reach, not just the load it launches with.
James is hands-on in every build, working alongside our AI-fluent product engineers. No offshore handoff, no rotating cast, and the people who design the product are the people who write it.
Who you are working with
Founder and principal
James has spent 25 years leading technology across insurance, environmental science, fintech, ecommerce and AI automation, in CTO and founder roles, with teams of up to 50, and has led ISO 27001 implementations for regulated Australian businesses. He is a practising SaaS founder shipping AI-native products in production, and he is hands-on in every Zenith build.
Our sister brand Zenith App Foundry builds an app for exactly that work and runs it for you on a monthly fee. Same team, different commitment.
You do not need a validated idea or a spec, just a problem or a direction you are thinking about. We will tell you honestly whether we are the right studio, or point you somewhere better.
