Services built on 30 years of business solutions
We design and build business solutions for government, financial, health and corporate organisations, and for businesses of all sizes. We listen first, then take your project from first idea to finished system.
- System integrationWe analyse the systems you already use and work out how to integrate data, instead of the manual task of retyping it from one system to another. Examples include your accounts and your CRM, a legacy system and a new app, or a supplier's system and your system.
- Process automationWe evaluate the repetitive work in your business for automation and improvement. We find what's slowing your team down and automate it where we can, with RPA (software robots), AI, or both.
- Document scanningWe turn paper into digital files you can search. We have built the software that drives scanners, and our consulting has taken us across Asia Pacific.
- Records managementWe help you keep, find and protect your records. We have built the workflow that moves documents to the right people and the storage that keeps them findable, with over 30 years of experience behind it.
- App and game developmentWe design and build apps for iPhone, iPad and Android, and publish them to the app stores. Selling your app? We can set it up with subscriptions, a one-off purchase, or ads using Google AdMob.
- Custom softwareWe build software around how your team already works. That might be a new system, a tool to replace spreadsheets and paper forms, or an upgrade to something that no longer does the job.
How we deliver

About Vision and Beyond
We started in 1996 to help businesses get more from technology. Over 30 years we have delivered business solutions for government, financial, health and corporate clients, including some of Australia's largest organisations. Today we also build our own apps and games.
We keep up with new technology, including AI, and we use it to deliver sooner and with less risk. Every project starts with one question: what problem are you trying to solve?
Common questions
What does Vision and Beyond do?
Vision and Beyond builds business solutions for organisations. That includes custom software, system integration, process automation and document scanning. We also deliver apps for iPhone, iPad and Android.
How long has Vision and Beyond been building business solutions?
Since 1996, which is over 30 years. We have delivered solutions for government, financial, health and corporate clients, including some of the largest organisations.
Where is Vision and Beyond based?
We are based in Sydney, Australia. Our postal address is PO Box 441, Pyrmont NSW 2009.
Do you build business solutions, not just software?
Yes. We start with the problem you are trying to solve, then design, build and connect what is needed. That can be custom software, system integration, process automation, or document scanning and records management. Send us a message to talk about your project.
What are RPA and AI agents, and how do they work together?
RPA (robotic process automation) uses software "robots" to repeat computer tasks, such as copying data between systems. AI agents can handle work that is less fixed, such as reading emails and documents and deciding what to do next. Used together, AI understands the work and RPA or an integration carries it out. Send us a message to talk about what could be automated.
Do you use AI?
Yes. We keep up with new technology, including AI, and we use it in how we design and build solutions. This helps us deliver results sooner and to a higher standard. Send us a message to talk about how it could help your project.
Do you sell document scanners?
Yes. We supply desktop, high-volume and large-format scanners from brands including Kodak Alaris, Contex and Colortrac, plus capture software from ABBYY. We also offer setup, training and support, and we run scanning projects. See our scanners, or send us your volume and the type of paper you scan.
What scanner do I need?
It depends on how many pages you scan, how big they are and what you do with them afterwards. Try the document scanner finder or the large-format scanner finder, or send us your daily volume and the type of paper and we will recommend a scanner.
Can you scan large drawings and maps?
Yes. We supply large-format scanners for technical drawings, plans, maps and posters. Use the large-format scanner finder to match a model to your sizes, or send us the sizes you scan and we will suggest the right model.
What are OCR and ICR, and where does AI fit?
OCR (optical character recognition) reads printed text on a scanned page so you can search it, copy it and pull data out of it. ICR (intelligent character recognition) does the same for handwriting, which is harder to read. AI services such as Microsoft's Azure AI Document Intelligence go further and can recognise the layout of forms and invoices and pick out the fields you need. What suits you depends on your documents, so tell us what you scan.
What is Gate Ready?
Gate Ready is an app for Australian tradies. You write a Safe Work Method Statement (SWMS) on your phone, add site photos and get your crew to sign. It is a drafting tool. It does not check or certify compliance. It is available now on Google Play and coming soon to the App Store.
Which card games do you make?
We make card game apps for classic Italian and Spanish games, such as Scopa, Briscola, Escoba, Brisca and Tute. You play against the computer, so you can unwind at your own pace. The apps are on the App Store and Google Play.
