You built it with AI. We make it production-grade.

Devinium is a database-first software consultancy. We connect the business systems your team already uses (Xero, LEAP, Xplan, the CRM, the dashboard) through one underlying database, so the same client record stops being re-keyed across five tools. We're a small senior team based in Melbourne, and the practice has been shipping production software continuously since 2007. Engagements run from a 2-3 week diagnostic to a multi-quarter platform build: see our software development services for the shape of that work. Most ship working software every 2-4 weeks rather than as a single big-bang release.

Melbourne, Australia. We are a fully remote team based in Melbourne. The practice has been shipping production software continuously since 2007: more on the team and how Devinium got here. Most engagements are with Australian firms (primarily Victoria, with NSW and interstate clients as well) plus a handful of overseas customers where the timezone overlaps. Discovery calls take place over Zoom; we visit client sites for diagnostics when the system complexity warrants it.

We primarily work with mid-sized teams in hospitals, education, manufacturing, and field operations, plus a steady stream of founders who built a prototype with Claude, Cursor, Bolt or Lovable and need to take it to production without rewriting from scratch. One example: how a 40-person manufacturer replaced six quoting spreadsheets with one database. Most engagements share the same shape: scattered systems, manual re-keying, a database that doesn't match how the business actually works. We are building a practice with Australian professional-services firms (accounting, legal, wealth) where Xero, LEAP, or Xplan sits at the centre and the rest of the stack doesn't talk to it. See how we work with manufacturers.

We start with the data model, not the screens. Most failed projects build features on top of a schema that doesn't fit how the business actually runs. Six months in, that schema cracks and the project rewrites itself. Our database-first method means one shape every tool reads from: Xero, the practice management system, the dashboard, the CRM. Walk through our database-first process from diagnostic to delivery. The same proven platform has run across hospitals, manufacturing, and education providers, which is why most engagements reach a working internal release within the first month rather than the first quarter.

Yes. The prototype is the proof: it shows the idea and the screens your team actually wants, so we keep those parts. The data model usually has to be rebuilt, because most AI-generated code improvises a schema that won't survive a second user. Real authentication replaces the hardcoded login. We add an audit trail, error handling that surfaces failures instead of hiding them, and monitoring that flags silent breakages. We've taken apps from Claude, Cursor, Bolt and Lovable to production. The screens mostly stay; the foundation underneath gets rebuilt to last.
