About Cloudster

Cloudster is an Azure-first engineering studio. We design, build, and run enterprise portals and the middleware behind them — using AI-accelerated delivery to move from idea to working software in weeks, not months.

What we do best

  • Finance & banking portals (web & mobile)
  • Azure integration & middleware (APIM, Logic Apps, Service Bus, Functions, .NET)
  • AI-accelerated development with strong guard-rails (reviews, tests, observability)

How we work

  • Senior architects up front to shape scope, security and integrations
  • Blended on-shore/off-shore pods for speed and value
  • Custom, fully scoped & quoted engagements — no cookie-cutter projects
  • Frequent demos, automated testing, clear run-books and handover

From studio to independent companies

From time to time we originate and spin out products when a problem proves broadly repeatable.

  • InvoiceSmash Pty Ltd — originated at Burch Technologies (Cloudster's former name); grew into an AP automation product and was later acquired by Coupa Software.
  • Ntainers.co (formerly Cloudster Connect) — conceived and built within Cloudster to solve logistics integrations at scale; today it's an independent company focused on AI-powered integration for freight forwarding. Its flagship product is CargoChat.
  • Outrigger.one — our current product initiative: a finance & procurement platform being developed as a separate venture.

Our history

Cloudster began life as Burch Technologies. We've evolved from early integration work (BizTalk) to Azure-first integration and, today, AI-accelerated portal development — while retaining the ability to support and migrate legacy platforms.
