Queenstown · Wānaka · Arrowtown
Custom software & business-aware websites for the Southern Lakes.
Booking flows, API integrations and internal tools that off-the-shelf platforms — and template shops — can’t handle. Built and shipped by one senior New Zealand engineer, for the tourism, hospitality, winery and trades businesses that run this region.

Who it’s for
Built for the operators who run this region.
Tourism & activity operators
Direct-booking flows that cut 25–30% OTA commissions, wired straight into Rezdy, Bookeo or ResPax with real-time availability.
Accommodation & lodges
Commission-free direct booking off your PMS (Little Hotelier, SiteMinder) on a site that actually converts the enquiry.
Wineries & cellar doors
Cellar-door e-commerce, wine clubs and subscriptions on a clean Shopify + headless CMS build you fully own.
Hospitality & venues
Reservations, events and enquiry funnels that feed your systems instead of a shared inbox.
Trades & construction
Lead-generating sites and quoting / job portals wired to Tradify, NextMinute and Xero.
Anything that has outgrown its tools
Internal tools, dashboards and custom software when the spreadsheet-and-plugins stack finally breaks.
What we solve
The problems that cost you the most are the ones a template can’t reach.
Commissions eating the margin
OTAs and booking platforms take a cut of every sale. A direct-booking layer wired into your existing engine keeps more of it.
Systems that don’t talk
The website, the booking engine, the POS and Xero all live in separate silos. The value is in the integration between them.
A template you’ve outgrown
Wix / Squarespace / an old WordPress got you started, but it can’t do the thing your business actually needs next.
Invisible in local search
No structured data, weak local signals, no Google Business presence — so the people searching your town never find you.
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 operator 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?”.
- Custom software, not templates

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

FAQ
Questions, answered.
- Do you work with businesses in Queenstown, Wānaka and Arrowtown?
- Yes. Tally Digital is a New Zealand software studio and works with businesses across the Queenstown-Lakes District and Central Otago — remotely and on-site as needed. Projects run the same way wherever you are: clear scope, direct communication, and code you own.
- Do you build booking systems for tourism and accommodation operators?
- Yes. We build direct-booking flows and integrate them with your existing engine — Rezdy, Bookeo, ResPax, Little Hotelier or SiteMinder — so you can take commission-free bookings and keep availability in sync.
- Custom build vs an off-the-shelf platform like Rezdy or Bookit — which do I need?
- Off-the-shelf platforms are great for standard availability and payments. A custom layer makes sense when you need a specific booking experience, deep integration with your other systems, or something the platform simply can’t do. We’ll tell you honestly which one fits — and often it’s a mix of both.
- Are you a designer, a marketing agency, or a developer?
- A senior software engineer. That means real custom software, genuine API integrations and applications — 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 booking application. Rather than quote a number blind, we scope your actual problem first and give you a fixed price before any work starts. Start a project and we’ll come back with a clear number.
