Svitla Systems acquired Kiandra to expand our global reach and impact. For 30+ years, Kiandra has delivered software that produces strong results for Australian organizations, bringing local leadership, long-term client relationships, and full ownership of every deliverable. Through its deliberate methodology, the Kiandra Way, they proactively apply governance, documentation and accountability to every project, so delivery remains predictable across the most complex and regulated environments.
Now, as part of Svitla Systems, we’ve boosted the delivery scale. Behind the local team sits a global network of 1,000+ technology professionals and deeper expertise across software engineering, cloud, data, and AI, extending capacity to take on larger and more ambitious projects. Bigger ideas, delivered by the team you already trust.

From start-ups to Fortune 500, over 90% of our clients are our repeat customers!
Custom-built, AI-ready applications – delivered on OutSystems or full-stack that replace what off-the-shelf tools can’t do, and legacy systems can no longer support.
Build fast and secure apps, using a low-risk approach. AI-assisted analysis maps your codebase first, so live operations keep running while we modernize.
Remove repetitive tasks, speed up decision-making, and automate manual processes to save time, reduce errors, and scale without adding headcount.
Add AI capabilities into your existing software, so your apps can analyze data, generate content, make predictions, and act as intelligent assistants.
Build AI capability inside your organization. Your teams learn by doing, gaining the skills, frameworks, and confidence to extend, maintain, and scale AI independently.
24-month warranty on every delivered application and structured, SLA-backed support that keeps applications stable, secure, and continuously improving after go-live.
Turn unstructured documents into actionable data, automatically extracting, validating, and routing information from PDFs, emails, and forms into your core systems.
Transform your internal knowledge into accurate, cited, AI-assisted answers, keeping sensitive data private and grounding every response in your own documents without hallucinations.
Explore how our work turns into clients’ ROI
Svitla Systems replaced ESTA's inefficient spreadsheet system by consolidating alarm data from all monitoring companies into a single, secure, cloud-based Azure repository with cleansed data and clear business rules. This automated processes, freed up the team, enabled richer analytics, and delivered 100% in scope and on budget.
Svitla Systems partnered with Independent Schools Victoria to build isEducation on the Kentico CMS, a centralized one-stop platform with single sign-on. Its suite of products for process management, analytics, learning, and communication streamlines how 220 Member Schools access ISV's tools and resources, supporting continuous school improvement.
Svitla Systems replaced MONSON's aging SaaS with MB2, a fully custom in-house shipping agency application built on the OutSystems low-code platform. Featuring an intelligent rules engine, automated documents, and multi-port estimators, it saves staff roughly two hours a day and won the 2022 OutSystems Innovation Award.
Australia represents an important milestone in Svitla’s international growth. We see strong demand from organisations looking to overcome talent shortages and increasing operational costs through flexible delivery models, highly skilled engineering teams, and proven expertise in technology-driven transformation.”

We provide the following services end to end: intelligent application development, application modernization, AI-powered automation, embedded and applied AI, intelligent document processing, retrieval-augmented generation, AI enablement, and ongoing application support.
Kiandra is ISO 27001:2022 certified and aligned to the ACSC Essential 8, with data sovereignty, access controls and audit trails built. Because delivery is led locally, the team already works to Australian government, health and financial-services requirements rather than learning them on your project.
Our delivery model sequences risk deliberately: we scope to a measurable outcome, deliver in stages rather than a single big-bang release, and use AI-assisted discovery to map existing systems before touching them. For most engagements, we’ll build a working prototype before you commit commercially, so you see capability before spending. Every application then carries a 24-month warranty.
Australia’s software work concentrates in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Canberra and Adelaide. Sydney and Melbourne hold the largest developer communities and the deepest enterprise and government demand. Canberra anchors federal public-sector work. Perth is strong in resources and utilities. Kiandra is based in Melbourne and Perth and delivers to clients nationwide, so whether you need a custom software development company in Sydney or support across the country, delivery is Australian-led.
Yes. Support is SLA-backed, with 24×7 monitoring, structured incident management, and planned enhancements handled by one accountable team. Everything we build comes with a 24-month warranty, and we can also take on support for applications another vendor built, using AI-assisted analysis to learn the codebase quickly.
Look for local accountability, a track record in your industry, security certifications you can verify, and a warranty that puts the firm’s own money behind the work. Ask who leads delivery and where your data lives. A bespoke software development partner in Sydney or elsewhere should be able to show measurable results: cost cut, time saved, and risk removed.
It depends on scope, complexity, and how many existing systems you need to integrate with. Rather than a headline price, we scope to a defined outcome and, for most projects, deliver a working prototype before any major commitment, so you’re pricing against something real.
Finance, healthcare, logistics and transportation, energy, hospitality, retail and eCommerce, and education. The common thread is regulation, high transaction volume, or operations that off-the-shelf tools can’t quite fit, exactly where custom software pays for itself.
With Kiandra and Svitla you don’t have to choose. Your project is led locally by Australian team, local time zone, local compliance knowledge, senior people you can reach, and backed by a global engineering bench of 1,000+ specialists when a build needs more scale or niche skills. You get local accountability and global capacity in one engagement.
Behind Kiandra’s local delivery, Svitla adds software engineering, cloud, data and analytics, AI and machine learning, DevOps, UX design, QA and testing. That bench lets Australian projects scale quickly and reach into specialist skills without losing local ownership.
Yes, integration is usually the point. We build API-first and connect to ERP, CRM, OutSystems and custom systems. On the WA Health project, for example, the platform integrated with the state’s patient administration system and Oracle payments, so data flowed automatically instead of being re-keyed.
Yes. Quality assurance and testing are part of delivery, including functional, performance and security testing, plus AI testing for AI-assisted components, so software ships stable and stays that way.
It’s measurable, and we scope for it up front. Recent examples: WA Health cut annual running costs by 66% ($1.2M to $400K); Monson freed up to 140 hours a day across its sites; document processing builds routinely remove up to 90% of manual data entry. For document-heavy work we typically target payback within 6–12 months.
