RED SAG is a software development company for Australian businesses that want a reliable remote team without Australian agency rates. We are based in Tiruppur, India, and build SaaS products, web apps, mobile apps, AI chatbots and white-label projects for Australian small businesses, startups and digital agencies.
Australia is ahead of India, not behind, which works surprisingly well. When our day starts, Sydney and Melbourne are already in their early afternoon, so your afternoon is shared working time. You can raise something after lunch and get an answer, a fix or a demo the same day.
We quote in Australian dollars, sign NDAs and IP assignment agreements, and design with the Privacy Act in mind. We have no Australian office; everything runs remotely with a clear written scope, weekly demos, a shared task board and your own code repository.
Because our morning is your early afternoon, there are several hours of live overlap every weekday. Bugs raised before 3PM on the east coast can often be fixed and on staging before you finish work.
Many Australian owners run the business by day and deal with the website or app later. We keep updates short, written and easy to skim, and book calls in the afternoon when you are more likely to have a gap.
Australian agencies bring us in when they have more projects than developers. We work quietly under your brand, in your tools and processes, so your clients deal only with you.
A custom booking system, customer portal or internal tool can be out of reach at local agency rates. With a remote Indian team it often becomes realistic, without cutting corners on testing or security.
Code sits in your repository and hosting accounts are in your name. If you later bring development in-house or move to a local agency, the handover is straightforward.
Agency-branded websites, web apps and integrations built under NDA by a dedicated team that works inside your tools and timezone.
MVPs and growing SaaS products with multi-tenancy, Stripe or Razorpay subscriptions, admin panels and product analytics.
Reservation and appointment systems with live availability, deposits, WhatsApp/SMS reminders and staff dashboards for hotels, clinics, salons and more.
AI chatbots, WhatsApp Business API automation and AI agents for lead capture, support, bookings and order updates.
Cross-platform iOS and Android apps in React Native or Flutter, with backend, payments and store launch handled end to end.
Fixed monthly plans for updates, security, backups, uptime monitoring, speed fixes and small content edits on your website.
For a clearly defined website, booking system, MVP or internal tool. You get a written scope and an AUD quote paid in milestones, so you know the cost before committing. Extras are quoted before we start them.
A developer, or a small team, working on your roadmap every day and joining a standup during your afternoon. Billed monthly in AUD, it suits funded startups and agencies with a consistent pipeline.
For an existing website or app: plugin and framework updates, security patches, backups, uptime monitoring and a set number of hours for small changes, with issues handled during your afternoon.
India runs on IST (UTC+5:30) all year. Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra are 4.5 hours ahead of us on AEST and 5.5 hours ahead during daylight saving (AEDT). Brisbane stays 4.5 hours ahead year round, and Perth is only 2.5 hours ahead.
We start at 9AM IST, which is 1:30PM in Sydney in winter and 2:30PM during daylight saving. That gives about three and a half to four and a half hours of overlap until the end of your working day. A standup around 2:30PM or 3PM Sydney time works all year.
Messages sent during your morning are waiting for us when we start, and we usually respond before your lunch break ends. Perth clients get even more overlap, from about 11:30AM to the end of the working day.
We design with the Australian Privacy Principles in mind: collecting only necessary information, securing it properly and making it easy to access or correct. Some small businesses under the A$3 million turnover threshold are currently exempt, but privacy reforms are ongoing, so we build as if the Act applies.
If a developer in India can access your customers' personal information, that may be a cross-border disclosure. We keep personal data out of development wherever possible, use test data, and can agree contractual privacy obligations if access is genuinely needed.
We host on Australian cloud regions such as AWS Sydney or Azure Australia East when you prefer data to stay onshore, and set up logging and access controls that help you detect and respond to incidents under the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme.
We sign your NDA before detailed discussions, and our contract assigns copyright and IP in the work to you on payment. GST treatment of imported services depends on your situation, so check with your accountant.
A$1,900 – A$6,000
Typical range for a custom-designed, responsive website on a CMS with contact or quote forms, Google Business integration, analytics and technical SEO basics. Hosting and paid plugins are extra.
A$9,000 – A$45,000
Typical range for an online booking system, customer portal, internal tool or SaaS MVP, including design, development, testing, deployment and a post-launch fix period. Payments, integrations and mobile apps affect the final price.
A$2,600 – A$5,300 per month
Indicative monthly rate for a full-time developer on your roadmap, depending on experience and technology. Includes code review and coordination. Invoiced in AUD, payable by bank transfer or Wise.
Indicative budgets based on typical projects. Your fixed-price quote depends on scope, integrations and timeline.
For many small businesses and agencies, yes. Australian agencies commonly charge somewhere around A$120 to A$200 an hour or more, while a remote team in India typically costs much less for similar work. The time zone helps too: your afternoon overlaps with our morning, so communication feels close to real time.
No. RED SAG is a remote team based in Tiruppur, India, with no Australian office or staff. Australian projects run over video calls, email, Slack or Teams, and shared project boards. Contracts and invoices are issued from India in Australian dollars.
We work 9AM to 6PM India time, Monday to Friday. For Sydney and Melbourne that is roughly 1:30PM to the end of your day in winter, and 2:30PM onwards during daylight saving. Queensland is 4.5 hours ahead of us all year, and Perth only 2.5 hours, so overlap is even easier there.
We build with the Australian Privacy Principles in mind and avoid giving our developers access to real customer data wherever possible. If access is unavoidable, we agree privacy obligations in the contract to support your APP 8 responsibilities, and we can host your system in an Australian data centre.
Yes. Booking systems are a common request from Australian clinics, trades, salons, fitness studios and tour operators. We build online booking with calendar sync, deposits through Stripe or Square, SMS or email reminders, and staff rosters, tailored to how your business actually schedules work.
Yes. We work under your agency brand, inside your tools and processes, and do not contact your clients directly. Our afternoon standup overlaps with your early afternoon, so your project managers can brief us after client meetings and see progress the same day.
We quote and invoice in AUD. Most clients pay by bank transfer through Wise or a similar service, which keeps currency fees low. Fixed-price projects are split into milestones, and dedicated developers or care plans are billed monthly. Hosting and third-party services are paid by you directly.
Yes, remotely. We have no office in Sydney or Melbourne, so it helps to be clear about what you are comparing: a website development company in Sydney or a mobile app development company in Melbourne can meet you in person, and we cannot. What we offer instead is website, mobile app and custom software development for Australian businesses at Indian rates, with our working day overlapping your afternoon, weekly demos and code in your own repository.
