Meet the team
that will
build your app
.
We’re Urban Lightbulb, a software company based in New Zealand. We design, build and look after custom web apps, and the people who scope your project are the same ones who see it built and keep it running.
Custom software,
not off-the-shelf.
We build the software businesses actually run on, shaped around the way you work rather than making you bend to fit it. Pick a starting point below.
Everything we doWeb-based products your customers log into, with billing, user permissions, dashboards and the connections to other tools they need. Ready to onboard real customers and grow with them. Mind That and Audit Assistant both work this way today.
See our productsInternal tools that clear out the spreadsheets, shared inboxes and manual steps slowing your team down. Order management, workflows, reporting and back-office portals, wired into the systems you already use.
See our projectsWe build and maintain trade portals and B2B ordering shaped around how your business actually sells: account-based pricing, approvals, bulk and repeat orders, all wired into the systems you already run. Our B2B systems handle millions of dollars in transactions every year.
See it in actionWe get your different systems talking to each other automatically, so information flows without anyone copying and pasting between them. The business tools, payment providers and other software you already rely on, linked up and dependable.
What we doFocused tools that do one job well. Calculators, quoting tools, and practical AI features like smart search, automation and drafting, added where they genuinely help rather than for show.
Try our brainstorm toolWe use modern technology to build serious software.
We’ve built software that businesses rely on every day for years. Tap any tool below to see what it does and why it matters for your project.
One team, start to finish.
No handoffs between sales and delivery. Here’s how a project goes with us, from “we’ve got an idea” to “it’s live and looked after”.
Work it out together
We start with your problem, not a shopping list of technology. A free brainstorm and a straight conversation turn a rough idea into a clear plan, with an estimated cost and timeframe.
Plan it properly
Before writing any code, we plan how the whole thing fits together and how it will hold up for years, not just at launch. You’ll see how your information is organised and what connects to what before we build.
Build it in stages
Senior developers build in short stages you can follow. You review real, working software as it lands, not slides and status reports.
Launch & look after
We launch it, keep an eye on it and keep it running smoothly, then stick around to maintain, secure and improve it. We don’t disappear once it’s live.
We built this brainstorm tool. Have a go.
It’s a small taste of the interactive software we make for our clients. Describe an app idea and it asks a few questions, then hands you a clear brief with an estimated cost and timeframe. Take it for a spin and picture what we could build for you.
Software we deliver and support
Real software, live and in daily use by teams around New Zealand.
