Self-hosted platforms for Australian business
Booking, shared inbox, e-signature, forms, CRM and analytics on open-source platforms you own, at a fraction of per-seat pricing.

Indicative. The point is the shape: one line scales with headcount, the other barely moves.
Why businesses buy this
And the failure modes we design around, stated up front.
The case for it
Per-seat SaaS is fine until you have staff. Self-hosting the same capability turns a growing monthly bill into a fixed one, and the data stays yours.
- Per-seat costs that stop scaling with headcount
- Customer data on infrastructure you control
- Tools branded as yours rather than as somebody's trial
Where it goes wrong
Self-hosting is only cheaper if someone maintains it. That is the service: updates, backups, restores tested, and an upgrade path that does not eat a weekend.
Built on: A managed VPS or your own cloud account, containerised deployments, automated backups, and monitoring we watch.
