Why Plan First
Clear Direction
Define goals, scope, and priorities early so development stays focused, efficient, and aligned.
Smart Scoping
Break complex ideas into clear features, workflows, and requirements developers can actually build.
Accurate Budgeting
Understand realistic costs, timelines, and trade-offs before committing serious development spend.
Technical Feasibility
Validate your idea against real-world constraints, integrations, platforms, and scalability requirements.
Confident Execution
Move forward with clarity, documentation, and confidence — avoiding costly surprises later.
Smart Planning Before You Build
A strategic roadmap that sets your software up for long-term success.
Building software or an app without proper planning is one of the most expensive mistakes a business can make. At Memento, we turn early ideas into structured, validated, and fully thought-out plans — the kind developers love and founders rely on. We break down your concept into clear user flows, feature sets, system logic, and technical requirements, giving you a blueprint that shows exactly how your product will work in the real world.
Our planning process does more than define the build — it protects you. You avoid surprise costs, prevent scope blowouts, identify hidden risks, and confirm that your app makes sense for the market before any money is spent on development. Whether you’re building an internal tool, a customer-facing app, or a large-scale software product, strategic planning ensures your idea is feasible, scalable, and financially smart from day one.
If you’re serious about building a product that launches smoothly, works flawlessly, and grows with your business — this is where that journey begins.
A Complete Blueprint Before You Build Anything
Claim Yours Today
Every successful software project starts with understanding — not assumptions. Our software planning and quoting process is designed to give you absolute clarity before a single line of code is written. We begin with a free feasibility consultation to understand your idea, business model, users, and goals, ensuring the project is technically viable and commercially sensible from day one.
If your project qualifies, we create a clear, structured software plan that outlines how your idea should be built. This includes high-level user flows, recommended technology stack, core features, development phases, and system logic. The goal isn’t to overwhelm you — it’s to translate your idea into something tangible, understandable, and build-ready.
From there, we produce a transparent quoting framework. You’ll receive a breakdown of required labour effort by phase, estimated timelines, and cost ranges tied directly to the plan — not guesswork. This approach removes uncertainty, prevents scope creep, and allows you to move forward with confidence, whether you build with us or take the plan elsewhere.
No pressure. No fluff. Just smart planning that protects your budget and sets your software project up for success.

No guesswork, no surprises, just informed decisions and confident next steps.
Testimonies
Transparent Software Pricing From Day One
Building software without a proper quote is like building a house without a blueprint — expensive, stressful, and guaranteed to blow out. At Memento, we give Auckland businesses crystal-clear project estimates grounded in logic, scoping, and real development hours, so you know exactly what you’re investing in from day one.
Whether you’re planning a custom app, internal tool, SaaS platform, or workflow automation, we break the entire project down into understandable phases. No vague numbers. No padded estimates. No guesswork. Just transparent planning designed to protect your budget, your timeline, and your sanity.
Our goal isn’t to sell you the biggest build possible — it’s to help you make the smartest decision. With us, you get clarity, confidence, and a roadmap that sets your project up for success long before development begins.
Know the cost, the timeline, and the workload before you commit.
Plan Smarter. Build Better. Spend Less.
A well-planned quote gives you more than a number — it gives you control. With proper budgeting, you can prioritise features, stage your build, and invest only where it truly matters.
We also help you identify cost-saving opportunities that don’t compromise quality, such as alternative technologies, phased rollouts, reusable components, or simplified architecture. The goal is simple: deliver the best outcome at the most efficient budget.
If you want your software to succeed long-term, it starts with a clear, transparent quote — and we’re here to make that process effortless.
