We build custom AI-powered business tools for Perth SMEs — CRM systems, RFQ platforms, data pipelines, AI assistants and automation. Working software in weeks, not strategy decks.

Most Perth SMEs are running on spreadsheets, email chains, and outdated systems — not because they don't want better, but because enterprise AI consulting firms charge $30,000+ and offshore dev shops build the wrong thing. The result? Your team wastes 15–25 hours every week on tasks that AI could handle in seconds.
Every industry has different pain points. A mining supplier's problem isn't the same as a plumber's. We tailor every AI solution to the way your industry actually works — not a one-size-fits-all template.

A Perth mining parts supplier had 13 spare parts catalogues locked in PDFs — invisible to Google, impossible to search, generating phone calls instead of quotes. We extracted 76,770 raw parts, built a custom RFQ system from scratch, and generated 35,268 individual SEO pages. Zero manual data entry.

AI isn't a magic buzzword — it's a set of specific tools that handle specific tasks. Here's what AI actually looks like inside a working Perth business, not a tech conference slide deck.
Source Digital builds custom AI-powered business tools for Perth SMEs — including AI consulting, workflow automation, AI agent development, custom CRM systems, chatbot development, PDF-to-data pipelines, business intelligence dashboards, and large-scale SEO page generation. All projects are fixed price and built locally in Perth.
Projects start from $2,500 for AI consulting, $3,500 for chatbots and automation, and $5,000 for custom CRM systems. Typical Perth SME projects range from $5,000–$15,000. All projects are fixed price — scope and cost are confirmed before work begins. No hourly rates or surprise invoices.
Most projects are delivered in 2–8 weeks. An AI chatbot takes 1–2 weeks. AI automation workflows take 2–4 weeks. A custom CRM or AI agent takes 3–6 weeks. A PDF data pipeline with SEO page generation takes 4–8 weeks. Fixed timelines are agreed before work starts.
Yes. Source Digital is 100% Perth-based. All work is done in-house — no outsourcing, no offshore teams. You deal directly with Tristan throughout every project. In-person meetings available for Perth clients.
Enterprise AI firms in Perth (Dapth, Lateral) start at $30,000–$500,000+ and target ASX-listed companies or government. Source Digital works with SMEs doing $500K–$10M in revenue who need practical, working tools — not 80-page strategy reports. Projects start from $2,500 and are delivered in weeks, not months.
No. You just need to know your business problem. We handle everything technical. Most clients start with "I have this painful manual process" or "my data is locked in PDFs" — and we figure out the solution from there.
Any Perth business with manual processes, repetitive tasks, or data locked in PDFs and spreadsheets. We work most frequently with mining and resources, trades and construction, retail and e-commerce, professional services, real estate, and logistics. If your team spends time on tasks that follow a pattern — quoting, data entry, customer enquiries, report generation — AI can automate it.
AI works best alongside your existing tools, not as a replacement. We integrate with Xero, MYOB, Google Workspace, Outlook, Shopify, WordPress, and hundreds of other platforms. The AI connects your systems, eliminates manual work between them, and adds intelligence on top — like auto-generating quotes from your pricing data or answering customer questions from your product catalogue.
If you can answer yes to any of these, you're ready: staff spend hours on repetitive tasks, customers wait for answers that could be instant, data lives in PDFs or spreadsheets instead of searchable systems, you've outgrown your current CRM, or leads come in after hours with no one to respond. Our free AI consulting session assesses your specific situation.
Most clients see ROI within 2–4 months through time savings alone. A quoting automation that saves 2 hours per day = 520 hours per year. At $40/hour, that's $20,800 in recovered productivity from a $5,000 build. AI chatbots that capture after-hours leads often pay for themselves with the first converted enquiry.
Yes. Every project includes a full handover and training session. Optional retainers are available from $600–$1,200 per month for ongoing updates, new features, and maintenance. Many Perth clients keep us on retainer because AI tools evolve with their business.
