Back-end builds: APIs & admin panels for apps
App developers: the back end your app deserves. APIs, admin panels and hosting.
Great front ends with fragile back ends, admin tasks done by hand and hosting nobody wants to own. We build and host app back ends.
Looking for an app back-end development partner?
Apps live or die on their back end. We build APIs, admin panels and integrations, then host and maintain them.
Wollopit builds client portals, quoting tools, billing systems and integrations for app developers around how your business actually works. We connect the tools you already use, replace the ones holding you back and look after the lot on our own servers, so your team can focus on clients instead of shuffling data between apps.
01The problems
What we hear from app developers
Does your app development business have these problems? Here's how we'd fix them.

Custom software for app developers

Websites for app developers
Fast, hand-built websites that rank for the searches your customers make and turn visits into enquiries, bookings or orders.

06How we work
The process
Some people dip their toe in. We turn up in a rebreather.
We get properly below the surface of your app development business: the systems, the busy days and the jobs everyone hates. Then we fix the bits that matter most first.
- 01
Think
We spend time with the people doing the work, see where the hours go and work out what's actually slowing you down.
- 02
Archi-tech
We plan it before writing code: your data, customers, payments, the tools you keep, hosting and cost.
- 03
Build
Real engineering, shown to you early and often. Usually the most painful bit first, so you get a win quickly.
- 04
Look after
We host it, maintain it and keep improving it. When something breaks you call the people who built it.
07Questions
FAQ
Things app developers ask us.
Something else on your mind? Ring 0423 011 252 and ask the people who'd build it.
Can you work with our front-end team?
Yes. We agree the API together and work alongside your app developers.
How much does it cost?
It depends on what you need, so we quote up front once we understand your app development business. No surprise invoices, no lock-in and you own what we build.
Can you replace some of our subscriptions?
Often, yes. If you're paying for several tools that each do a bit, we can build one system that does exactly what you need. We'll show you the numbers first.
Can you integrate with our existing stack?
Yes. We connect to common platforms and APIs so data moves on its own instead of being copied between tabs.
Who looks after it once it's built?
We do. We host it on our own managed servers and keep it updated and secure. When you need something you ring the people who built it.
We already have systems. Can you upgrade them instead of starting again?
Usually, yes. Most app developers we work with keep what's working and upgrade the rest in stages. We move your data across, connect the old and new while we switch and retire the old system only when the new one is proven.
