Custom software and AI integration for Hobart and Tasmania
Software developers and AI engineers for Hobart and the whole of Tasmania, from Salamanca and Kingston to Launceston, the Huon Valley and the East Coast. Custom software (websites, booking systems, CMS platforms, touchscreen installations) and AI integrations that quote jobs, chase tenders and answer customers. Fixed price, live in weeks.
Rootech is a Melbourne team working with Tasmanian businesses remotely, in the same time zone. Everything is delivered remotely: discovery, demos and reviews over video, builds shipped to the cloud, and installations shipped pre-configured and set up with your team over a call. We only travel for the rare install that cannot be done any other way.

01 / Hobart industries
Built for how Hobart works
Tasmania runs on tourism and hospitality, aquaculture and agrifood, Antarctic and marine science, an arts economy unusually large for its size, and a construction pipeline pulling on a small trades pool. Small teams and seasonal peaks make automation worth more here, not less.
- 01
Tourism, hospitality and events
Bookings that run themselves, experiences that run all day
Tasmanian operators live on seasonal peaks like Dark Mofo and summer cruise arrivals, and lose bookings to phone tag. We build booking systems where guests book, pay and reschedule themselves, and immersive exhibitions and location-based VR that run session after session with a small crew.
- 02
Aquaculture, agriculture and food producers
Paperwork, checklists and demos, automated
Salmon farms, oyster growers, orchards and the suppliers who serve them run on checklists, compliance photos and grower demos. Photo-backed session checklists on a phone, workflow automation that reads documents and enters data, and AR and camera-driven agribusiness activations are all shipped work.
- 03
Antarctic, marine and scientific institutions
Make the work legible to funders and the public
The marine institutes on the waterfront and the Antarctic sector at Kingston produce science that has to be explained to students, funders and visitors. We have built browser and kiosk e-learning that walks people through a technical process, AI lesson generation, and AR learning apps.
- 04
Arts, culture and museums
Room-scale interactive work
Hobart's arts economy is unusually large for a city its size, and venues want work that responds to visitors, not a looping video. Large-scale projection with interactive environments, multiplayer free-roam VR and a narrative VR title on the Meta Quest store are in the case files.
- 05
Construction and trades
Quote faster, get found on a phone
With Macquarie Point and the housing pipeline pulling on a small trades pool, estimating and enquiry handling are where Tasmanian builders lose time. AI takeoff estimation and a fast mobile-first trades site with a quote form are the fix.
- 06
Government tenders and community programs
Win the tender, run the program yourself
A lot of Tasmanian work is won through state and federal tenders, and community organisations need tools that travel to schools and halls. Our tender pipeline reads and scores every new tender overnight, and we have shipped community VR and educational apps packaged so groups can run them themselves.

04 / Hobart FAQ
Fair questions from Hobart
Yes, and remote is how we work with Tasmania by default. Tasmania and Melbourne share a time zone, so discovery, demos and reviews happen over video during your normal hours and builds ship to the cloud. Installations are shipped pre-configured and set up with your team or a local AV partner over a call. We only travel for the rare install that cannot be done any other way.
Yes. Our booking platforms let guests book, pay and reschedule themselves at any hour, handle multiple locations or vessels, and plug into the accounting and calendar tools you already use. Hosting costs stay low in the quiet months because you are not paying for staff time you do not need.
Yes. Everything we build is delivered online, so a business in Launceston, Devonport or Burnie gets the same process and the same fixed price as one on Salamanca Place.
Digital Ready for Business, run by the Department of State Growth, offers Tasmanian businesses under twenty staff a few hours of free digital coaching each year to work out what they need. We build and integrate the result at a fixed price. Check current terms on business.tas.gov.au.
