    From idea to working software.

    Legion Algo Labs builds practical web applications, mobile apps, AI integrations, automation, SaaS products, internal tools and business systems for founders and businesses in New Zealand and worldwide.

    Start with a business problem, a product idea or an existing system that needs to work better. You do not need a finished technical specification.

    What we build

    Software shaped around the job it needs to do.

    Build a new product, connect an existing operation or recover a project that has stopped moving. The technology follows the business case—not the other way around.

    01

    Web Applications

    Custom portals, dashboards, SaaS products, operational software and database-backed applications built around the way your business works.

    02

    Mobile Applications

    iOS and Android applications with authentication, notifications, subscriptions, payments, APIs and backend infrastructure where required.

    03

    AI Integration

    Practical assistants, document processing, workflow intelligence, data analysis and AI-enabled product functionality with a real operating purpose.

    05

    MVP Development

    Take a validated concept from requirements and architecture through prototype, development, deployment and early production learning.

    07

    Software Rescue

    Audit, stabilise, modernise or complete a stalled product. Start by understanding the code, risks and practical route to a maintainable release.

    Recognise the problem

    You may need custom software if...

    The strongest opportunities are often visible in the workarounds people have learned to tolerate. A short discovery conversation can establish whether custom software is justified—or whether a simpler change is enough.

    • Your team repeatedly copies information between systems.
    • Customers cannot complete an important process online.
    • Spreadsheets have become business-critical infrastructure.
    • Enquiries and handoffs are getting lost in email.
    • Your current SaaS tools no longer fit the workflow.
    • You have an app idea but no technical delivery team.
    • Separate systems need to communicate through APIs.
    • The business has outgrown manual administration.
    • You want to introduce AI into a real workflow.
    • An existing development project has stalled.

    How we work

    A clear path from problem to production.

    The exact shape changes with each engagement, but the decision sequence stays clear.

    1. 01

      Discovery

      Understand the business problem, users, current workflow, technical constraints and commercial goal.

    2. 02

      Scope

      Define the smallest useful version, architecture, responsibilities, milestones, assumptions and pricing approach.

    3. 03

      Build

      Design and develop the product in reviewable stages using technology appropriate to the problem.

    4. 04

      Test

      Check functionality, usability, integrations, performance and the workflows that matter before release.

    5. 05

      Launch

      Deploy to production infrastructure, the web, App Store or Google Play as the agreed scope requires.

    6. 06

      Improve

      Support, monitor and iterate after launch where an ongoing engagement is useful and agreed.

    Why Legion

    Serious delivery without unnecessary layers.

    The aim is a direct working relationship, practical decisions and a product that can be understood and maintained after launch.

    Founder-led

    Work closely with the person responsible for understanding the problem and leading technical delivery.

    Full-product thinking

    The work considers users, workflow, deployment, data, security, payments, notifications and maintenance—not only the interface.

    Modern capability

    Web, mobile, AI, APIs, databases, automation and cloud infrastructure can be combined into one coherent product.

    Flexible engagement

    Begin with discovery or a focused system, then expand when the first stage has demonstrated value.

    Project investment

    Every project is scoped individually.

    Focused integrations or automation work may begin in the low thousands of New Zealand dollars. Full applications and production platforms require significantly larger budgets. Complex work may begin with paid discovery and scoping before a build is quoted.

    Discuss your scope

    Based in New Zealand. Building for businesses and founders worldwide.

    Remote collaboration uses video calls, clear written decisions and staged reviews. That keeps work visible across time zones while retaining direct access to the person leading delivery.

    Questions before discovery

    Software development FAQ

    The useful answer usually depends on the business, users and existing systems. These are the starting points.

    What types of software do you build?+

    Legion Algo Labs builds web applications, mobile apps, SaaS products, MVPs, customer portals, internal systems, dashboards, integrations, workflow automation and practical AI-enabled features.

    Can you build both web and mobile apps?+

    Yes. A project can include a web application, an iOS and Android application, or a coordinated cross-platform product with shared accounts, data and backend services where that architecture is appropriate.

    Can you take over an existing or stalled project?+

    Potentially. The first step is usually a technical audit covering the current code, infrastructure, access, documentation, security risks and remaining scope. That review determines whether repair, staged modernisation or a rebuild is the sensible route.

    Do you work with startups and established businesses?+

    Yes. Engagements can support a founder validating a focused MVP, a small business replacing manual work, or an established team needing an integration, internal system or additional product capability.

    Do you work with businesses outside New Zealand?+

    Yes. Legion Algo Labs is based in New Zealand and can work remotely with founders, businesses and agencies worldwide using video calls, written decisions and staged project reviews.

    Can you integrate AI into an existing system?+

    Yes, where AI has a clear job to do. That may include assistants, document processing, classification, structured drafting, data analysis or workflow support. Data handling, reliability, human review and operating cost are considered before implementation.

    Can you build an MVP?+

    Yes. MVP work starts by narrowing the concept to the smallest version that can test the important assumption or deliver useful value. Scope, architecture and release stages are agreed before development begins.

    How much does custom software cost?+

    Every project is scoped individually. Focused integrations or automation work may begin in the low thousands of New Zealand dollars, while full applications and production platforms require significantly larger budgets. Complex projects may begin with a paid discovery and scoping stage before a build is quoted.

    How long does software development take?+

    It depends on scope, integrations, product maturity and review availability. A focused piece of work may take weeks, while a full application commonly requires multiple stages over several months. A realistic schedule is provided after discovery rather than promised before the requirements are understood.

    Can you provide ongoing support?+

    Ongoing support, monitoring, maintenance and further development can be included where agreed. The appropriate arrangement depends on the product, infrastructure and response expectations.

    Who owns the software?+

    Ownership and licensing are set out in the written project agreement. Bespoke deliverables can be assigned to the client after agreed payments are complete, while pre-existing tools, reusable components and third-party software remain subject to their stated licences.

    Can you integrate payments, authentication, APIs or notifications?+

    Yes. These are established parts of modern product delivery and are included when the project requires them. Provider choice, compliance obligations, recurring costs and failure handling are considered during scope and architecture.

    What should the software make easier?

    Bring the idea, the bottleneck or the stalled project. We will start by understanding the problem and deciding whether there is a sensible build path.

    The discovery CTA sends a meeting request. A time is confirmed after the project summary is reviewed.
