01 — Local economy
Business in Hobart
Antarctic expeditions sail from the Derwent: the Australian Antarctic Division is based at nearby Kingston, alongside CSIRO's marine laboratories in the city. Incat builds large aluminium catamaran ferries at Prince of Wales Bay, salmon farmers such as Tassal and Huon Aquaculture operate in southern waters, and MONA and the food and wine scene draw tourists.
Where software helps: Hobart's seafood exporters, wineries and food producers ship perishable goods interstate and overseas, needing batch traceability, cold-chain records and export certificates matched to every order and invoice.
ERP and AI for food, hospitality and engineering businesses in Hobart
What we would build first for the industries Hobart is known for.
Agriculture & food processing
ERP
Procurement from many small suppliers, grading and lot tracking, shelf life and first-expiry-first-out dispatch, and processing yields from raw produce to packed product.
AI agent
A procurement assistant that collects daily prices and quantities from suppliers over WhatsApp, in their own language, and records them straight into the system.
Make-to-order and engineer-to-order projects tracked from enquiry to commissioning, with multi-level bills of materials, drawing revisions, subcontracted machining and spare-parts sales in one system.
AI agent
A spares assistant that identifies parts from a photo or serial number, checks stock and price, and answers dealer and customer queries on WhatsApp or email.

05 — FAQ
Custom software in Hobart: common questions
Do you build custom ERP and AI software for businesses in Hobart?
Yes, remotely. Flip Retail is a software studio in Jaipur, India, with no office in Hobart; discovery happens on video calls and you get working software every two weeks.
How do time zones work between Hobart and Jaipur?
Jaipur is 4 h 30 min behind Hobart on standard time, and 5 h 30 min behind during daylight saving time there. A 09:00 start there is 04:30 in Jaipur. Standard 09:00–18:00 office days overlap by 3 h 30 min to 4 h 30 min, which is enough for live calls, demos and same-day answers.
What would a first project look like for a food business?
Usually one module that fixes the most expensive problem first. For agriculture & food processing that is often farmer & supplier procurement and grading & lot tracking. It goes live early, and the rest of the system follows in two-week increments while your team is already using it.
