AI, automation, and tech stack rescue
Marshall Tech delivers five core services for growing Australian businesses: fractional CTO leadership, workflow automation, AI strategy and implementation, custom software development, and tech stack optimisation. Every engagement starts with a 2-week diagnostic sprint.
Technology Consulting & Fractional CTO
A fractional CTO gives your business senior technical leadership: architecture decisions, vendor evaluation, team mentoring, and roadmap clarity, without the $400k+ full-time salary. Engagements start at 2 days per week and scale to full interim leadership when you need it.
Best for
- • Businesses doing $2M–50M revenue with 5–50 staff and no senior technical leader
- • Founders evaluating build-vs-buy or platform migration decisions
Workflows & Automation
We build custom endpoints, APIs, and automated workflows from the ground up. No off-the-shelf connectors that break. Enterprise-grade security and authentication, fully scalable, and designed to integrate with any tech stack. We manage hosting, uptime, and issues so your operations run reliably.
Best for
- • Businesses running multiple systems with manual data transfer between them
- • Operations teams spending >10 hours/week on repetitive reporting or data entry
AI Strategy & Implementation
We help businesses implement AI that actually works: starting with a readiness assessment, then deploying targeted solutions for content generation, customer operations, and data analysis. Every implementation includes deterministic guardrails so outputs are reliable, auditable, and measurable.
Best for
- • Businesses wanting to automate content production at scale with quality controls
- • Operations teams drowning in manual data analysis and reporting
Custom Software Development
We build production-grade web applications from scratch: custom backend APIs, modern frontend frameworks, and infrastructure designed to scale. Tech stack agnostic, we align with your existing systems or build greenfield. Every project includes enterprise-grade security, authentication, and hosting management.
Best for
- • Businesses needing a web application or internal tool built in weeks, not months
- • Startups validating a product concept before committing to a full engineering team
Custom Software & App Development
We design and build custom software applications from the ground up: web applications, mobile-responsive platforms, internal tools, and customer-facing products. Every build follows modern architecture principles with scalability, security, and maintainability built in from day one.
Best for
- • Businesses with unique workflows that off-the-shelf software can't accommodate
- • Companies ready to invest in a competitive advantage through technology
Tech Stack Optimisation
We audit your entire tech stack: every SaaS subscription, integration, and manual workaround. Then we consolidate, fix, or replace tools to eliminate redundancy and restore data flow. Where off-the-shelf integrations fail, we build custom endpoints and APIs. Typical savings: $30k/month in operational overhead.
Best for
- • Businesses paying for 30+ SaaS tools with unclear ROI on half of them
- • Companies with broken integrations, dirty data, or workflows held together with manual processes

Frequently Asked Questions
If you're unsure, start with a 2-week diagnostic. We'll audit your stack, map your processes, and recommend the highest-leverage service based on your specific situation. Most clients start with either a platform rescue, a workflow automation project, or a fractional CTO engagement.
Yes, and most clients do. A common pattern is fractional CTO plus workflow automation: strategic direction paired with immediate operational wins. Pricing adjusts for combined engagements.
Most engagements begin within 1–2 weeks of the initial discovery call. The 2-week diagnostic sprint is designed to deliver immediate value while we scope longer-term work.
Optimisation and automation projects: A$5k–$20k. AI implementations: A$10k–$50k. Full platform builds: A$40k–$100k. All projects start with a fixed-price scope sprint so there are no surprises.
