Andrew provides a detailed timeline at the start of each project and communicates progress throughout.

Question 7

What is the difference between hiring an independent developer and a software agency in Tauranga?

Accepted Answer

Hiring an independent software developer like Andrew Logan means you work directly with the person writing your code, without agency overhead, account managers, or handoffs to junior developers or overseas contractors. This typically results in faster communication, more tailored solutions, and lower cost than a full-service agency. Logan Software & AI Solutions takes on a limited number of projects at a time to ensure every client receives focused, expert-level attention.

Solutions are built specifically for your business rather than adapted from generic templates.

Question 9

Does Logan Software & AI Solutions work with Xero or other NZ business software?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Andrew Logan builds API integrations between your existing business tools — including Xero, Shopify, CRM platforms, and industry-specific software.
