About Blinco
What Blinco is, who builds the work, what it has built before, and the rules every job is held to.
The company
Software and researchBlinco is an Australian software company that designs and builds the operational systems behind trades, accounting and logistics businesses: the dashboards, pipelines, portals and automations listed under what we build, and the websites that sit in front of them. Everything is built to order, owned outright by the client when it ships, and run without a per-seat meter.
Blinco is run by Ryan Blinco, who has spent years building and repairing operational systems for Australian businesses.
The company keeps a second bench, Blinco Research, for physics and computing work with no client attached. It sells nothing. It exists because the harder problems sit upstream of the product work, and because the habits it demands, testing against known answers, writing assumptions down and publishing the working, are the habits the commercial builds are held to.
What we build
Capability, and recent workPayroll and leave pipelines that take a crew's timesheets and post into Xero or MYOB, with exceptions queued for a person rather than guessed. Job and fleet boards that show where every vehicle and job is, in the office and on a phone. Client portals where the customer sees the quote, the job, the invoice and the approval in one place.
Enquiry systems that land in the business's own inbox with no third party in between. Moves onto Microsoft 365 and SharePoint for offices that have outgrown the shared drive. Operations dashboards fed by the systems the business already runs. And the websites in front of all of it, four of which are on the designs page.
Recent work includes a law practice's website, enquiry system and move to Microsoft 365, and payroll, leave and estimating tools now being built for an electrical contractor. Clients are not named here; the work sits inside their businesses and belongs to them.
How a job runs
Scope, quote, build, hand overIt starts with the enquiry form: a few questions about the business and the part of the week that costs you the most. The reply comes within a working day. Then a scope in plain English that a business owner can read, a fixed quote against that scope, and a build you can watch progress. When it ships you own the source, the infrastructure and the exit. Maintenance is available and never compulsory. The process page walks through the five steps; the cost page shows the arithmetic against a subscription, crew by crew.

The mark, dimensioned. A wordmark in the lineage of the name-only brands: one word, one deliberate anomaly, monochrome by design
