Custom software and AI integrations · Melbourne, VIC
Custom software and AI integration, built in Melbourne
Rootech is a Melbourne team of software developers and AI engineers. We build custom software (websites, booking systems, CMS platforms, touchscreen installations) and AI integrations that quote jobs, chase tenders and answer customers, for businesses from the south-east suburbs to regional Victoria. Fixed price, live in weeks.
Melbourne is home. We are happy to meet in person for discovery or an install, and most of the work still happens over video and in the cloud so it moves at the same pace wherever you are in Victoria.

01 / Melbourne industries
Built for how Melbourne works
Melbourne's economy runs on trades, hospitality, health, education and professional services, with manufacturing and a growing games sector alongside. This is the work we see most often, and what we have shipped for it.
- 01
Construction and trades
From the south-east to the Big Housing Build
We built the website for a Melbourne south-east tiling partnership to show the work and win the quote, and an AI estimator that turns plans into a measured takeoff and a draft estimate. With Victoria's housing pipeline stretching a tight trades pool, both take hours off every job.
- 02
Hospitality, food and retail
Bookings, kitchens and activations
Melbourne has one of the densest cafe, restaurant and boutique retail scenes in the country. Multi-location booking with photo-backed shift checklists, customer service chatbots trained on your menu and hours, and camera-driven retail activations that run every trading hour are all shipped work.
- 03
Health and life sciences
Admin off the desk, science made legible
From the Parkville precinct to suburban clinics, the recurring problems are intake, scheduling and explaining complex work. Self-service booking and rescheduling, document automation, and interactive e-learning that walks people through a technical process are core builds.
- 04
Education and training
AI lessons, AR learning, VR practice
Melbourne's universities, schools and training providers want content that adapts to the learner. We have built agentic AI lesson generation with a tutor alongside it, AR that stands a lesson up on the desk, and VR that lets someone try a job before they train for it.
- 05
Professional services and agencies
Tenders, research and reporting
Professional services is one of Melbourne's fastest growing sectors, and the admin has grown with it. Tender pipelines that read and score every new tender overnight, and AI agents that monitor competitors and draft client reports, are already in production.
- 06
Manufacturing, games and creative industries
Show the product, ship the title
Fishermans Bend and Clayton manufacturers need to explain complex products, and Melbourne's games and creative studios need production partners. Touchscreen product explainers, a narrative VR title shipped to the Meta Quest store, recommendation engines and room-scale exhibitions are all in the case files.
02 / What we do in Melbourne
Two things, done properly
01 · Built around how your business actually runs
Custom software for Melbourne businesses
Websites, booking systems and platforms designed for how a Melbourne business runs, not squeezed into a template. We built the site for a south-east tiling partnership to show the work and win the quote, and a multi-location booking platform for a commercial kitchen collective. You own it, it grows with you.
- Websites and web apps
- Booking systems
- Content management
- Touchscreen installations
02 · Working AI plugged into the tools you already use
AI integrations for Melbourne businesses
Working AI wired into the tools you already run, with guardrails. An estimator that turns plans into a takeoff and a draft quote, a tender pipeline that scores every state and federal tender overnight, chatbots trained on your business, and automation that reads documents and enters the data.
- AI quoting tools
- AI tender and lead pipelines
- Customer service chatbots
- Workflow automation

04 / Melbourne FAQ
Fair questions from Melbourne
We are a Melbourne team. We are happy to meet in person for discovery, a workshop or an installation, and most projects still run over video and in the cloud because it is faster for everyone. Either way you get the same fixed price and timeline.
Yes. Everything we build is delivered online, so a business in Geelong, Ballarat, Bendigo or the Latrobe Valley gets the same process as one in Richmond. If an installation needs hands on site, we drive.
Programs change often. Business Victoria's Small Business Digital Adaptation Program, for example, covered approved off-the-shelf products rather than custom builds, while newer state AI and digital skills packages target construction and manufacturing. Check business.vic.gov.au for what is open now, and we will scope a build to fit.
Yes. Our AI takeoff estimator reads plans, extracts quantities and drafts a costed estimate for a human to review before it goes out. It plugs into the quoting or job management software you already use, and anything involving price keeps a person in the loop.
