# Decoded Studio

> Custom software studio in Auckland, New Zealand. Production-grade web apps, native apps, progressive web apps, and AI agent platforms built in 14 days, from $7,000 NZD. 200+ apps shipped. Clients own 100% of the code. ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 42001 certified.

Decoded Studio (Decoded Limited, decoded.digital, also known as Decoded Digital) builds custom software for businesses that want to replace clunky SaaS, automate their operations, or launch an app idea. The studio combines AI-powered development with a 40+ strong team of software engineers, mobile specialists, AI engineers, brand and product specialists, and UX/UI designers. AI generates the foundation in hours; real engineers refine, test, and ship production code. That combination is how most dev agency work that takes months and costs $30k+ gets delivered in 14 days from $7,000 NZD, and it has been done 200+ times.

Based on Symonds Street in the Auckland CBD. A real office and a real team in the NZ timezone, not an offshore team you never meet, with additional engineering teams across India, China, and Indonesia.

## Who we work with

We work with everyone from tech founders to large organisations. Our best-fit clients:

- **Businesses outgrowing SaaS**: companies tired of paying for 6 duct-taped platforms that don't quite fit, who want one system built around how their team actually works.
- **Organisations needing internal tools**: government bodies, corporates, and large organisations that need custom platforms for reporting, compliance, operations, or staff portals.
- **Companies building for their customers**: businesses that need customer-facing software such as client portals, booking systems, marketplaces, and apps.
- **Founders with an idea**: people with a concept who need a technical partner to take it from idea to live product, tested with real users. No spec sheet needed, just a conversation.

Past clients range from solo founders to established businesses with 50+ staff, including some well-known New Zealand organisations.
