Australian made apps that work. Anywhere.

Big tech providers make money by pushing businesses into the cloud, because that’s where their subscription revenue comes from. The downside is that you lose control — if the internet drops out, your teams stop working. You also pay ongoing fees for features you may never use, and your data is often stored on overseas servers, outside of your control.

At BerrysBay, we take a different approach. We build offline-first apps that keep running even with no internet. Data is stored locally on your device and only synced to the cloud when it makes sense for your business. We’re not anti-cloud — some cloud services are useful and we recommend them where they add value (like safe backups or team-wide coordination). But we’re always on our client’s side: no lock-ins, no hidden agenda, and advice that’s tailored to what you need, not what maximises someone else’s subscription revenue.

This is exactly where offline-first design shines. With our apps, your crews can still create job orders, issue quotes, scan deliveries, capture photos, and record notes — all without internet. The data is stored securely on their device and syncs automatically when a connection becomes available, whether that’s hours or days later.

No internet doesn’t have to mean downtime. Our technology ensures work flows continue seamlessly, from basements to construction sites to rural roads. Crews stay productive, customers stay informed, and jobs keep moving.

Yes. We offer local-only apps where your data never leaves your device or internal network unless you choose to sync it. That means no external servers, no unnecessary data sharing, and no exposure to overseas providers.

For businesses that require the highest level of privacy — such as those handling sensitive logistics, trade secrets, or compliance-heavy industries — we can also integrate local AI tools that run on-device, without ever touching the internet. This way, you get the efficiency of automation with the security of knowing your data never leaves your walls.

Most big-name AI tools run in the cloud, which means your data gets sent to their servers. That’s a risk for privacy and compliance. Local-only AI is different: the AI models are installed directly on your device or internal servers. This means they process information right where you are, without any data being sent out.

For example, AI can help your team auto-fill job quotes, detect issues in photos, or predict inventory needs — all without requiring an internet connection. It’s secure, private, and designed specifically for businesses that don’t want to hand their data over to third parties.

We use lightweight AI models that are designed to run locally, directly on your device or server. Think of it as having a “mini AI engine” that sits inside your app, trained on the tasks that matter to your business. This means it can work in the field, on-site, or in areas without connectivity.

When cloud AI does make sense — for example, large-scale data processing or centralised analytics — we can selectively use secure cloud services. But we always design with a local-first principle: your data stays on your device unless there’s a very good reason to move it.

Not at all. In fact, many of our clients keep their existing tools and we simply integrate with them. If your current systems already work well, we’ll extend them — adding offline capability, better performance, and AI enhancements. We only recommend rebuilding when it’s truly the best path forward.

Yes. Our apps are designed with accessibility and usability in mind, so they’re simple and intuitive for everyone. We build with WCAG usability standards by default, which means clear layouts, easy navigation, and worker-friendly design.

On top of that, we provide hands-on training tailored to your crews. Whether they’re electricians, delivery drivers, or roofers, we make sure they’re comfortable with the tools. We’re not just building apps — we’re ensuring your teams are confident using them.

Offline-first means your app is built to always work offline as its default state, not as an afterthought. Most modern SaaS tools assume you’re always online, and when the internet goes down, so does your productivity.

With offline-first apps, everything continues to function locally — job updates, quotes, scanning, data entry. The system then syncs only when a connection becomes available. This design avoids downtime, prevents double data entry, and ensures your business never stops moving.

Costs vary depending on complexity, number of features, and integrations required. A simple MVP might start in the few thousands, while larger end-to-end platforms will cost more. The difference with BerrysBay is that we only build what you truly need — no unnecessary bells and whistles that eat up your budget.
We also offer a “No Results, No Pay” guarantee for eligible businesses. That means if you don’t get the outcomes we promise, you don’t pay. It’s that simple — we put skin in the game because we’re confident in our solutions.

We’re based in North Sydney, overlooking beautiful Berrys Bay. Yes, that is where the name is coming from.

We alwaty happy to work remotely and asynchronously whenever it benefits our clients. This means flexible communication, efficient delivery, and the ability to support businesses all across Australia.
