Next Olive is a ecommerce app development company working with businesses in Sydney and New South Wales since 2011. You get senior engineers on eCommerce platforms, a project manager who overlaps your working day, AUD or USD invoicing — and typically 40–60% lower cost than a local agency for the same senior team. Sydney is Australia's fintech and SaaS capital: Barangaroo scale-ups, ASX-listed enterprises replacing legacy systems and a large NDIS/health-tech sector. Local buyers expect Australian Privacy Principles compliance, CDR-ready APIs for finance products and ISO-aligned security questionnaires answered up front.
What we deliver
- Custom storefronts and marketplaces (web, iOS, Android)
- Headless commerce on Shopify, Magento or custom stacks
- Local payment, tax and shipping integrations
- AI search, recommendations and personalisation
- Inventory, order and vendor management back office
- Performance engineering for sale-day traffic
Why Next Olive
- Working hours that fit Sydney: a 4.5-hour offset — our team starts as your afternoon begins, so blockers raised at 2 pm AEST are cleared by your next morning.
- Contracts and invoicing the way Australian companies expect — AUD or USD invoicing, mutual NDA, IP assignment on payment.
- Built for local rules: Australian Privacy Act and APPs, Consumer Data Right (Open Banking), My Health Record and NDIS provider requirements, ASD Essential Eight security controls.
- Proof, not promises: Australian clients from Sydney to Perth, 2000+ products delivered and 100+ engineers you can meet before you sign.

Why Australian businesses choose an offshore partner for ecommerce app development
Local senior developers in Sydney are scarce and expensive, and freelancers rarely scale. A dedicated Next Olive squad gives you a full team — engineers, designer, QA and PM — at a monthly cost close to one local senior hire, with a 4.5-hour offset — our team starts as your afternoon begins, so blockers raised at 2 pm AEST are cleared by your next morning.
You keep control: weekly demos on a staging build, a shared backlog you re-prioritise, and source code in your own repositories from the first sprint.
How we run ecommerce app development projects for Sydney
Free consultation → short paid discovery (workshops, prototype, technical plan, fixed-price proposal) → two-week sprints with demos → launch and hand-over → optional support retainer or dedicated team. Change requests are agreed in writing before work starts, so the budget you approve is the budget you pay.
