Built by one person who answers the phone

Local Stack is Patrick, based in Noosa and working with businesses from Gympie to Caloundra. A long background in Linux servers, web systems and the operational side of small business, and a preference for building the thing that fits over selling the thing that's on the shelf.

How We Work

Scoped, built beside the live system, supported afterwards

Local Stack focuses on what makes sense operationally: a clear scope, a careful changeover, and a system the business can actually run.

Scoped in hours

Every job gets a written scope with an hour estimate and a cap. You know the cost before anything is built.

Fixed Cap

Built beside the live system

Real data, real edge cases, switched over in stages so nothing stops.

Phased

Supported afterwards

Hosting, monitoring and changes for a flat monthly amount. Cancel any time and take the code with you.

Owned

Who This Fits

Businesses with a process that lives in someone's head

Local Stack suits operators who know exactly where the hours go and want the system to fit that, rather than the other way round.

Wholesalers and producers

Orders arriving by phone and text, retyped into pick lists and invoices.

Ordering

Tour and activity operators

On a booking platform that handles the sale and leaves the rest to a whiteboard.

Booking

Retailers and small brands

Paying monthly rent and a cut for a store they don't own.

Online Store

Any business with a spreadsheet

A process that works, but only because one person holds it together by hand.

Ops Tooling

Who This Doesn't Fit

We'll say so on the first call

Businesses wanting a big-vendor platform with a help desk behind it, or a one-off cheap site with no plan to use it, are better served elsewhere. If that is the case we will tell you straight away.
