Example apps for fictional organisations.
From classrooms to clinics to building sites. Here are a few of the apps we can build for you.
Jobs, quotes, checklists and equipment, updated from site.
Student records, attendance, assessments and parent updates in one place.
Students, sessions, progress reports and enrolments without the spreadsheets.
Appointments, client forms and follow-ups that keep themselves organised.
A place for clients to see progress, share documents and approve work.
Members, volunteers and events, organised without group chat chaos.
Not on the list? If your team runs on spreadsheets, paper forms or group chats, we can probably build something better. Tell us what you need
Custom apps are at the heart of every project. Add a portal, automation, an AI assistant or dashboards when you need them. Flip the switch to see the difference.Your own app first, with extras when you need them. Flip the switch to see the difference.
Information lives in too many places. Everyone works from a different version. One place for everything. Everyone sees the same, up-to-date information.
Custom Apps
Apps to manage students, clients, bookings, jobs, equipment or approvals, designed around how your team works.
Clients keep chasing you for updates. Files and approvals get lost in email. Clients check progress themselves. Files and approvals are all in one place.
Client Portals
Clients, parents or members log in to check progress, find documents, send requests and approve things, without calling or emailing you.
Add to any app
The same details typed into four places. Mistakes creep in. Entered once. Everything else updates on its own.
Workflow Automation
Connects your app to the tools you already use, so details are entered once and the right people are told.
Missed calls and slow replies. People go elsewhere. Every enquiry answered and passed to the right person.
AI Assistant
Replies to customers, parents or patients, collects their details and passes them to your team.
Five places to check and still no clear picture. What matters, and what needs you, in one place.
Dashboards
The numbers you manage by in one view, with alerts for anything that needs you.
From the first chat to ongoing support, you always know what happens next.
We learn how your team works today and where time goes.
We agree in writing what will be built and what it costs.
You see working screens early and give feedback as we go.
We test with realistic examples and with the people who will use it.
We set everything up and show your team how it works.
Where agreed, we look after the app and keep improving it.
Every organisation is different, so every quote is too. You get a written proposal before any work starts.
Any ongoing costs for software, hosting, usage or support are listed in the proposal, so nothing comes as a surprise.
What shapes the price
LocalRise designs, builds and supports custom apps for schools, tutors, clinics, trades, professional services and community organisations.
Every project starts with how your team actually works. The result fits your people, the people you serve and the tools you already use.
Schools, colleges, tutors and academies, health and wellbeing practices, trades and field services, professional services, and community organisations. If your team runs on spreadsheets, paper forms or group chats, we can probably help.
Apps your team uses to manage students, clients, bookings, jobs, equipment or approvals, and portals for the people you serve, such as parents, clients or members. We can add automation, dashboards and AI assistants to any of them.
Yes. Most apps we build run in a web browser on phones, tablets and computers, with nothing to install. If you need an app in the App Store or Google Play, we discuss it during scoping.
No. We handle the technical side and explain everything in plain language. You tell us how you work and what gets in the way.
Yes. Access is set by role, so teachers, staff, students, parents and clients each see only what they should. We discuss your privacy and data requirements during scoping and design the app around them.
Usually not. Your app can connect to the tools you already use. If a tool cannot be connected or is holding you back, we explain the options during scoping.
It depends on scope, integrations and complexity. After an initial conversation we send a proposal with the build price and any ongoing software, hosting, usage and support costs.
It depends on the size of the app. Your proposal includes a timeline, and we build in stages so the most important parts are ready to use first.
Ownership of the app, its code and your data, and where it is hosted, are set out in your proposal before any work starts.
Yes. Many projects start with one focused app, then add a portal, automation or reporting once it is working well.
Yes. We are based in Sydney and work with organisations worldwide. We agree meeting times across time zones and confirm any regional requirements during scoping.
Where support is agreed, we look after the app, fix issues and make improvements as your needs change. Support terms and costs are set out in your proposal.
Tell us what takes up your time. We’ll reply by email to set up a chat.
