What We Execute for Local Web Apps

01

SaaS & Product Engineering

A robust software product demands a scalable foundation. We architected the entire LaunchPal web application, delivering a seamless UI and a strict digital identity system designed to handle continuous user growth without technical debt.

02

Custom Integrations & Payments

Commercial scale requires bulletproof financial pipelines. For complex builds like Liquor Scanner, we engineer robust payment gateways like Windcave directly into the application flow, guaranteeing secure data handling and automated revenue management.

03

Workflow Automation

Manual workflows bleed margin. We build custom backend logic and automation portals that route high-intent leads straight into your CRM, executing the exact automation architectures we designed for commercial leaders like Clear Vision.

Legacy Christchurch Dev Shops vs Concrete

The usual way

Legacy Christchurch Dev Shops

Retaining a traditional software agency in the CBD or Merivale often means funding endless discovery phases before seeing a single line of working code.

With Concrete

Concrete

Concrete operates as an agile engineering team. You work directly with the technical architects building your product. We ship functional modules quickly using modern JavaScript frameworks, ensuring you can test and launch core features in weeks. Once your application is live, we can scale your user base immediately through Paid Advertising or LinkedIn Lead Generation.

We built the product, end to end

LaunchPal is our own SaaS. We designed and built the website and the web app, and named the category it lives in. Every screen, flow and integration, in-house.

What happens after you reach out

Three simple steps before anything is committed.

  1. You tell us the goal

    Send a line about the app you’re building. We reply within one business day, and a real person writes back.

  2. A short call

    We learn your goal and constraints; you see how we work and decide whether we’re the right fit. Your call, on your terms.

  3. A clear proposal

    Scope, timeline and a fixed quote, in writing. You give the go-ahead before anything starts or comes due.

What you’re probably wondering

The stuff clients actually ask on the first call. Flip through the file.

Q.01Next ↗︎

Do you build the whole app, front end and back end?

Yes. We design the screens, build the front end, and stand up the back end, database and APIs behind it. Take the full build, or slot in on a specific part.

Q.02Next ↗︎

Can you build on a stack we already use?

Usually. We build with React and Next.js by default, and we work with the tools and services your team is already on where it makes sense.

Q.03Next ↗︎

Can you handle accounts, roles and permissions?

Yes. Sign-up, login, roles and permissions are core to most of what we build, so the right people see the right things and your data stays safe.

Q.04Next ↗︎

How long does a web app take?

A first working version usually runs about 6–8 weeks from scope to launch, depending on how many flows and integrations it needs.

Q.05Next ↗︎

Who owns it, and what happens after launch?

You own it. We hand over the code and account, and train your team, or keep it on a monthly retainer for updates and new features. Hosting stays in your name.

Q.06Next ↗︎

Can it grow after the first version ships?

That’s the point. We build the first version to be added to, so new features, users and integrations slot in as your product and your team grow.
