About idea box

Mobile and web applications for Australian businesses and start-ups come from idea box, a development team in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. It reports 17 years of experience, and its older pages speak of over 100 projects delivered in 15 years.

An AI focus

The firm now describes itself as an AI app development team. It says it offers research and development funded work to add artificial intelligence to a client's product, and it lists four areas of help: design of user-focused solutions, AI projects, the full cycle of solution design, development, testing, deployment and continuing innovation, and managed teams that integrate with a client's own staff.

Projects across sectors

Its portfolio shows how varied the apps are. Projects named on its site include football performance analysis driven by AI, a system looking at scaffolding durability and disaster prevention, an interactive mobile maths learning app, and an app to find, furnish and service homes. Its project list has included a video collaboration marketplace for veterinarians and animal owners, a mental health clinic app, an automated market research platform, a cloud-based property management system, a course finder app with Salesforce integration, a fuel theft reporting tool for petrol stations and police, and an app for a residential estate developer on iOS and Android.

Helping employees and customers

The firm says its web and mobile systems help clients improve staff efficiency, streamline business processes, serve customers better and obtain data that matters to the business. Its aim is purpose-built software based on a defined process.

Offices and the process behind the apps

The team has been based in Sydney and Melbourne and describes itself as a group of web and mobile developers with more than a decade of experience. Brisbane has since been added to the cities it names. The current page repeats that its apps are purpose-built and that the same process is applied to each, and its FAQ begins with a question on how that development process works.

How a project starts

A client can arrange a 30 minute initial consultation. In most cases, the company says, a cost estimate can be given by the end of that session. The site includes a frequently asked questions section that starts with its development process,.
