“The number I need is in someone’s spreadsheet, and only they know how it works.”
Software that makes your business run smoothly.
EZ Systems builds software and AI tools for businesses in manufacturing, FMCG and beyond. We connect the systems you already use, automate the manual work, and use AI where it actually helps.
Sound familiar?
Most businesses we work with run fine day to day. A few common problems still cost them time and money. Here are the ones we hear most.
“By the time we know what last month cost us, we’re already halfway through the next one.”
“We’re either paying overtime or running short, and we only find out after the shift’s done.”
“My team spends its week rekeying the same numbers between systems and emailing reports around.”
Practical software that fits the way you work.
AI & agents
We put AI to work on real tasks. It reads messy documents, answers questions from your data, and handles repetitive steps on its own.
Systems & integration
Connect the tools you already run so your data stops living in silos and spreadsheets.
Data & modelling
Turn scattered numbers into costing, labour and planning models you can trust.
Software & automation
Custom tools built around the way you work, with the manual, repetitive jobs automated away.
We build in small steps, and you own the result.
Understand
We start by learning how the work actually happens, before we touch a system.
Build
We connect, model and automate in small pieces you can use straight away. You get something useful early, instead of waiting for one big launch.
Hand over
You own what we build. It comes with clear docs and a team that can maintain it, so you’re never locked in to us.

What we’ve built over the years.
We’ve built large systems in FMCG, pharmaceuticals and finance. A few examples:
- IBM MAPICS ERP for a multinational pharmaceutical company, covering sales, distribution, manufacturing, logistics, inventory control, purchasing and finance.
- Full business-systems architecture for RSPCA Victoria, covering finance, donor and bequest management, telephone sales, veterinary and animal services.
- Enterprise data warehouses for two large FMCG companies.
- IBM financial software support for clients including Crown Equipment, deployed across Australasia and Asia.

Ways to work together.
Custom build
We plan, build and hand over software that’s yours to keep. Fixed price, or time and materials.
Hybrid
A custom build up front, then an ongoing licence for the platform it runs on. This is how we work most often.
Platform licence
Licence one of our ready-made platforms or models, on an annual or subscription basis. The product does most of the work.
We keep it running after launch.
