From the team

Thoughts on AI products, enterprise software, and lessons from building software that runs real operations. We write when we have something worth saying.

Case Study

How Freedom Cars Runs a 400-Vehicle Subscription Fleet - and What Changed When the CRM Went Live

Freedom Cars is a rent-to-own vehicle subscription operator running two franchise entities, an on-site workshop, and 300+ active subscribers across South East Queensland. This is how the business operates, and how purpose-built software changed what was possible.

Operations

Why Franchise Businesses Outgrow Generic Software - and What the Right Platform Looks Like

A franchise isn't a single business with branches. It's a network of independently attributed entities sharing infrastructure, brand, and leadership oversight. Generic software wasn't designed for that. Petriko was.

Product

Petriko CRM - Unified Operational Intelligence for Xero & Ezidebit Businesses

Your Xero has financial truth. Your Ezidebit has payment truth. Your operations have neither. Petriko is the operational intelligence layer that unifies all three.

Integrations

Close the Gap Between Xero, Ezidebit, and Your Operations

When a subscription renews, does your Xero know? When a payment fails, does your operations team know in real time? Petriko wires your financial systems to your operational domain.

Security

Enterprise Security: Role-Based Access Control in Petriko CRM

Who can approve a payment? Who can close a job? Who has cross-entity visibility? When access control is per-module, per-action, and per-entity, governance scales with your business.

Fleet Management

Master Data Management: One Source of Truth Across Fleet, Customers & Subscriptions

When customer records, asset records, and contract records live in separate systems, every business decision is made on a partial view. Petriko makes them first-class linked entities.

Workshop

Workshop Intelligence: Jobs, Inspections & Service History in a Single Domain

A workshop job isn't an isolated event. It's connected to the vehicle being serviced, the contract it belongs to, and the customer who holds it. Petriko treats it that way.

Operations

Multi-Entity Operations at Enterprise Scale - One Platform, Any Number of Entities

Two entities. Two Xero orgs. Two Ezidebit accounts. Different staff access patterns. Different compliance obligations. One operational view. Petriko makes multi-entity a first-class architecture.

How we work

How we fund what we build

Most software companies guess at what to build, then look for customers. We do it the other way round - a business with a real problem funds the product, and we build and run it.
