Christchurch · Canterbury
Custom software & business-aware websites for Christchurch businesses.
Christchurch is the South Island’s largest economy and a genuine medtech, advanced-manufacturing and aerospace hub — but its web market is dominated by marketing-first and template shops. Tally Digital builds the layer they can’t: custom web apps, real API and system integrations, and shipped AI, hand-coded by one senior New Zealand engineer for the Canterbury firms that have outgrown a brochure site.

Who it’s for
Built for the businesses that run Christchurch.
Medtech & healthtech
Christchurch’s medtech cluster — the likes of MARS Bioimaging, ARANZ Medical and the Te Papa Hauora health precinct — needs custom dashboards, data visualisation, regulatory-grade API integrations and patient-facing apps that template shops can’t build.
Private clinics & allied health
Dental, physio, radiology and specialist practices that still run on phone-and-email: modern booking, secure patient portals, online payments and the local SEO to actually be found.
Advanced manufacturing & engineering
Canterbury’s second-largest sector — Tait Communications, Hamilton Jet, Skope, Skellerup and the mid-market around them — needs product configurators, dealer/distributor portals, ERP/CRM integration and AI-assisted quoting.
Aerospace & future transport
The Kea Aerospace / Dawn Aerospace cluster and its suppliers: telemetry dashboards, data tooling and custom web applications for a sector that outgrows off-the-shelf on day one.
Tourism & Waipara wine
As the gateway to the South Island — with 80+ Canterbury wineries and North Canterbury operators — booking engines, cellar-door e-commerce and wine-club subscriptions that keep the margin (Pegasus Bay, Greystone, Waipara tours).
Construction & professional services
Rebuild-era builders, architects, surveyors, accountants and law firms (Hanham & Philp, HRS Construction and peers): client/project portals, job-management + Xero integration, and lead-generating sites.
What we solve
The problems that cost you the most are the ones a template can’t reach.
Ranking below the directories
Thin location pages and no structured data mean you sit under Sortlist, 10best and MoneyHub for your own terms instead of owning them.
Data re-keyed between systems
The site, Xero, the booking engine, the CRM and job-management tools don’t talk — so someone re-types everything by hand. The value is in the integration.
A template that can’t do the job
A configurator, a patient portal, a distributor login, a regulatory dashboard — the thing your Christchurch business actually needs next is exactly what a page-builder can’t reach.
No AI, no automation
No AI-assisted quoting, triage or search, and content/data that isn’t “AI-ready”. The firms that fix this first pull ahead of the ones still re-keying spreadsheets.
The difference
You talk to the person who writes the code.
Most local options are marketing agencies that outsource the build, or template resellers who hand you a page and disappear after the invoice. Neither can build the software layer a growing Christchurch business actually needs.
Tally Digital is a single senior engineer. Every project is hand-coded on a modern stack, every integration is real, and the code is yours to keep. No junior hand-off, no page-builder lock-in, no “who supports this now?”.

- Modern stack — Next.js, Sanity, Supabase, Shopify

FAQ
Questions, answered.
- Do you work with Christchurch and wider Canterbury businesses?
- Yes. Tally Digital is a New Zealand software studio and works with Christchurch and Canterbury businesses remotely and on-site as needed. Same process wherever you are: clear scope, direct communication with the engineer, and code you own.
- Do you build medtech dashboards, clinic booking and patient portals?
- Yes — custom dashboards, data visualisation and API integrations for medtech and healthtech, and booking + secure patient portals with online payments for private clinics and allied-health practices. We scope the compliance and integration needs up front.
- Can you integrate my website with Xero, our CRM, or an ERP?
- Yes. Real API and system integrations are the core of what we do — Xero, HubSpot, inventory/ERP, booking engines, dealer portals — so your website stops being an island and starts feeding the systems you already run.
- Are you a designer, a marketing agency, or a developer?
- A senior software engineer. That means genuine custom software, applications and integrations — not templates or a marketing-first retainer. You talk to the person who architects and writes the code, every time.
- How much does a project cost?
- It depends on scope — a focused website is very different from a custom application or an integration project. Rather than quote blind, we scope your actual problem first and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
