Question 1

How much does a custom MYOB alternative cost for Hospitality & Tourism?

Accepted Answer

Pricing is scoped after a free assessment of your tailored for hospitality & tourism businesses requirements. Unlike MYOB's recurring From $13/month (Lite) to $65/month (Business); payroll extra, a custom solution is a one-time build — no monthly fees, no per-seat charges. The total cost depends on complexity, but most clients recoup the investment within 12-24 months through eliminated subscriptions and efficiency gains.

Question 2

How long does it take to build a MYOB alternative?

Accepted Answer

Most custom MYOB alternatives are delivered within 4-8 weeks. We begin with a discovery session to analyse your current MYOB usage and identify exactly what you need. Development follows an iterative approach — you see progress every fortnight. Simple replacements may be faster, while comprehensive accounting & finance platforms tailored for hospitality & tourism businesses may take the full timeframe. Unlike MYOB's rigid system, the result perfectly matches your workflow.

Question 3

Can you replicate the MYOB features I actually use?

Accepted Answer

Not only can we replicate Australian tax compliance, Payroll, Inventory and other MYOB features tailored for hospitality & tourism businesses, we often improve on them. A custom build removes the limitations and workarounds your team has accepted as normal.

Question 4

Will my team find a custom system easy to use?

Accepted Answer

Your team will find it simpler than MYOB. Why? Because the interface shows only what they need, labelled in their own terminology. We design with your end users in mind and run usability testing during the build. Adoption is fast — most teams are fully productive within a day.

Question 5

Can I migrate my data from MYOB?

Accepted Answer

Yes — and we manage it end to end. Records, history, attachments, and configurations all transfer from MYOB via API. We validate every record and run both systems in parallel until your team confirms the new solution is production-ready. Typical migration window is 2-4 weeks.

Question 6

How does ongoing support work for a custom system?

Accepted Answer

Support starts the moment we deploy and never stops being personal. 3 months of included post-launch support gives your team confidence during the transition from MYOB. Ongoing plans are affordable and flexible — scale up or down as your needs change.

Question 7

What happens when my business grows?

Accepted Answer

Growth should not mean growing software costs. Unlike MYOB's per-user pricing, a custom system serves 5 or 500 users at the same cost. New features are added when your business needs them, not when MYOB decides to release them. Your technology investment compounds in your favour.

Question 8

Is a custom solution better than just using a different SaaS tool?

Accepted Answer

SaaS alternatives to MYOB share the same structural problems: recurring fees, feature limits, and roadmaps dictated by venture capital. A custom solution tailored for hospitality & tourism businesses is purpose-built for your business and owned outright. The long-term economics heavily favour custom development for mid-market Australian businesses.
