What we build
The building blocks of an automated business
Most projects are some mix of these. We pick the few that solve your problem and leave the rest out.
AI Automation
AI that reads documents, sorts requests and handles the repetitive admin your team would rather not do.
Azure Cloud Functions
Small, dependable cloud services that run your sync jobs and background tasks, on a schedule or on demand.
Data Sync Engines
The engine that keeps two or more systems holding the same numbers, even when one of them changes overnight.
Custom Middleware
When two systems will never speak the same language, we build the layer in the middle that translates between them.
Workflow Dashboards
A clear screen that shows what synced, what failed and what still needs a person, so nothing slips by quietly.
Document and Invoice Automation
Pull the figures off invoices, bills and emails, then push them straight into your accounting system.
System Monitoring
We watch the connections and let you know when something breaks, usually before your customers do.
AI enabled workflows
Put AI where the busywork is
Not a chatbot bolted onto your website. These are the everyday jobs we hand to AI so your team can stop doing them by hand.
-
Parse invoices and emails Read supplier invoices and inbox messages, then lift out the figures that matter.
-
Match orders to payments Line up store orders against gateway payments and flag anything that won't reconcile.
-
Detect missing data Spot the blank fields and unmapped items before they turn into a failed sync.
-
Classify customer requests Sort incoming requests by type and urgency so the right person picks them up.
-
Summarise exceptions Turn a long list of errors into a short plain summary your staff can act on.
-
Generate reports Build the weekly numbers automatically, so nobody has to assemble them by hand.
-
Assist with repetitive admin Take the dull, repeating tasks off your team and let them just check the result.

Azure and cloud architecture
Built on Azure, watched around the clock
The plumbing most clients never see. It's what keeps a sync running at 2 in the morning and tells us the moment it doesn't.
Azure Functions
Serverless jobs that run your syncs and tasks, scaling up when busy and costing nothing when idle.
Azure SQL
A managed database for your synced records, backed up and ready to report on.
Blob Storage
Somewhere safe for files, documents and exports, with access you control.
Service Bus
A reliable queue, so messages between systems are never lost, even under load.
App Services
Hosting for your web apps and APIs, with deployment slots and easy rollbacks.
Secure API Endpoints
Authenticated, rate limited endpoints, so only the right systems can call yours.
Logging and Monitoring
A full record of what ran and what failed, so problems are quick to trace.
System Health
- API gateway 99.98%
- Sync workers healthy
- Queue depth 142
Business outcomes
What actually changes for your business
The technical work is a means to an end. This is the end.
Less manual data entry
Your team stops rekeying the same orders into three different systems.
Fewer errors
Numbers come from one source, so they match wherever you look.
Faster reconciliation
Payments line up against orders on their own, so month end gets shorter.
Cleaner reporting
Reports run on data that's already correct, not data you had to fix first.
Systems that stay in sync
When something changes in one place, it changes everywhere it should.
Better exception handling
The odd case that needs a person gets flagged, not buried.
By the numbers
A track record, not a pitch

About Cactus Software
A small Australian software company that takes integration seriously
We build the integration and automation layer that sits between business systems, the part that moves data from one place to another and makes sure it lands correctly.
The company is run by Phuong Do, founder and lead developer. Phuong has spent more than twenty years building software and over a decade delivering integration work for businesses in Australia and overseas. When you hire us, you work directly with the person writing your code. There is no offshore team and no account manager in the middle.
We keep the focus narrow on purpose: accounting and eCommerce integration, AI automation, Azure cloud, and the custom middleware that ties it together. It's the work we're best at, and it's most of what our clients need.
Talk to usContact
Have systems that do not talk to each other?
Tell us what you're running and what's slowing you down. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, what it would take, and what it wouldn't. Phuong usually replies within one business day.
