Executive summary
Software Cowboy at a glance
We build platforms that connect the software a business already uses and automate the admin in between, so its people can get on with running it – without extra headcount, errors or waiting.
-
What we build
We connect the CRM, scheduling, inventory and accounting tools a business already pays for. Information is entered once and arrives wherever it’s needed.
-
Who it’s for
Businesses that run on real-world operations: crews, customers, schedules, stock and paperwork. Across the energy industry, from the Davids to the Goliaths.
-
The outcome
Quotes, paperwork and follow-ups run as automated flows. People step in only for final checks, exceptions and the decisions that need a person.
-
How we work
Plain screens and predictable logic. Anything irreversible is previewed, confirmed and recorded. One team owns the work from design to support.
-
Security first
Least access, encryption by default, a clear audit trail and data hosted in Australia, with scheduled patching and a plan for the bad day. We build to the Essential Eight as a minimum.
-
AI, honestly
We use AI to research and to challenge our thinking. It sharpens the engineering; it never replaces it.
Tested to completion.
If it isn’t tested to completion, including the edge cases, it doesn’t work yet. It’s the opposite of Schrödinger’s cat: if not tested, it doesn’t work (the cat is dead).
- 75–80%+of functions covered by test classes, edge cases included
- QA and UATquality assurance and user acceptance testing before release
- Sandboxesseparate environments for development, nothing built in production

Where we are
-
Now
Mapping the network: what connects to what, and why.
-
Next
Planning the security, the architecture and the deployment, before a line of code depends on them.
-
Then
Writing the code, with announcements planned for later this year.
Earlier platforms are built and wait for release at a sensible price that scales with the customer. The network is new work.
