Plenty of companies can build straightforward software. Putti, an Auckland software and AI agency founded in 2010, is different in the work it takes on: projects with real technical risk, tight constraints or a lot riding on them. We've delivered 100+ projects with zero failures, and here's what stands behind that record.
What work does Putti take on that others decline?
The difficult kind. AI agents, complex integrations, multi-platform apps and stalled projects other teams walk away from. Stalled projects matter most here. More than 20 of our projects were rescues of builds other teams couldn't finish, and project rescue is a core service, not a sideline.
What's the evidence?
100+ projects delivered since 2010, and none we've failed to land across 16+ years. Enterprise clients include Spark, Hilton, Wendy's, Fletcher Building and Ritz-Carlton. In New Zealand you can read the case studies for HealthNow, Motorfy, RespiTrak and Emergency Q.
A zero-failure claim is only worth something if you can test it. Ask any agency, including us, for a reference you can phone.
How is a Putti project run?
By one in-house team, led by senior engineers in Auckland. Every person on a project is a Putti employee, and the work is never outsourced or subcontracted. Strategy, UX and UI, engineering, QA and deployment sit with the same team, not a pitch team followed by juniors.
The people who scope your project are the people who deliver it, and that's why accountability has nowhere to hide. If you want to compare partners properly, our guide on how to choose a software partner in NZ lists the questions to ask.
Who isn't Putti for?
Anyone choosing mainly on the lowest price. We aren't the cheapest quote and we don't aim to be. We price scope and give you an honest range, because a low number that grows later is the most expensive kind.
You'll get the confidence that comes from a team that has finished what others couldn't. That's the record an app development company should be able to show you before you sign.

Frequently asked questions
-
What does Putti do that other NZ software companies don't?
We take on the complex, high-stakes work many teams decline: AI agents, complex integrations, multi-platform apps and stalled projects other teams walk away from. We've delivered 100+ projects since 2010, 20+ of them rescues, with zero failed projects. One in-house team handles strategy, design, engineering, QA and deployment.
-
Has Putti ever failed a project?
No. Putti has delivered 100+ projects since 2010 without a failed one, and more than 20 of those were rescues of builds other teams couldn't finish. We don't just say that, either. Ask for a reference you can phone, and ask to see the case studies. A claim like that should be easy to test.
-
Does Putti outsource or subcontract any work?
Never. Every person on a Putti project is a Putti employee, and all of our senior engineers are based in Auckland. The people who scope your project lead the delivery, so there's no pitch team followed by juniors and no chain of subcontractors between you and the people writing the code.
-
What kind of clients does Putti work with?
Enterprise clients including Spark, Hilton, Wendy's, Fletcher Building and Ritz-Carlton, and New Zealand businesses such as HealthNow, Motorfy, RespiTrak and Emergency Q. Each of those has a published case study or testimonial on this site. The common thread is work where something real depends on the software working.
-
Is Putti the cheapest option?
No, and we don't position ourselves that way. We price scope rather than hours, and we'd rather give you an honest range than a low number that grows later. If the lowest quote is your deciding factor, we're probably not the right fit. If getting it finished properly matters, that's the work we do.
-
How do I find out whether Putti is the right team for my project?
Tell us what you're trying to build and we'll give you an honest view of how we'd approach it, including whether we're the right team. Scoping conversations are short. You'll hear what we'd build first, what we'd leave out and what could go wrong. If we're not the right fit, we'll say so.
