Software consultancy · Australia-wide
Software consulting that tells you what to build, buy or leave alone.
Software consulting, also called software consultancy, gives you plain advice on what to build, what to buy and what to leave alone. SoftDeck reviews your current setup, sets out the options with costs and recommends a path, including where AI helps. You can then build with us or hand the plan to another team.
Build, buy or leave aloneWhere software consulting pays off first.
You cannot tell whether to build, buy or wait.
A quote for new software is hard to judge.
Several tools overlap and no one sees the whole picture.
You cannot tell where AI would help.
An old system works, but changing it feels risky.
From a brief to a recommendation.
One question, from the brief to a decision.
Illustrative example. We agree the question, the systems to review and the outcome with you in the AI assessment.
What we build.
Advice on software, AI and integrations in plain English, and the build if you want it.
Founder experience behind the advice.
estimated project savings on a legacy application rebuild, delivered ahead of schedule. SoftDeck's founder worked on it. Not a SoftDeck engagement.

What do I get from software consulting?
A plain-English recommendation: what to build, what to buy, what to leave alone and the first step, with the options and their costs set out. You decide what happens next.
Is software consulting the same as an AI assessment?
The AI assessment is the first step. You send the work, the systems and the outcome you want, and we map the process, pick the first workflow worth automating and recommend a next step with an estimate. Software consulting goes wider, into architecture, build-or-buy decisions and modernisation planning.
Can you advise on AI strategy?
Yes. We start from your workflows and look at where AI can save time, where it does not belong and what to try first. You do not need a strategy document before you start.
Do we have to build with you afterwards?
No. The recommendation stands on its own. You can build with us, build with another team or leave the work alone if that is the right answer.
What experience is behind the advice?
SoftDeck's founder, Tawanda Nyakudjga, has 9+ years of commercial engineering experience, including work on the UNSW application rebuild and the VCEX platform. Neither was a SoftDeck engagement, so we label both founder experience.
What does software consulting cost?
We price by scope. Send the goal, your current setup, the outcome you want and your timeframe, and we reply with a next step and an estimate.
Where do you work?
SoftDeck is based in Sydney and works with businesses across Australia.
