The Hatchet way
Mission
Hatchet was founded on the basis that Perth needed a solution to the growing number of diverse problems that local businesses were facing. These problems beg the question, “there must be a better way”.
We believe that software should make your life easier, not harder. That’s why we build precisely to the requirements of your project and avoid the one-size fits all approach, leaving you with a tailored experience that gives you more time to do what matters most, running your business.
As the years have progressed, our solutions have spanned to our client’s customers nationwide and internationally.

I work part-time in the office, venturing in some mornings & afternoons when I feel like it 🐶 My goal is to cause a ruckus and entertain staff when things are feeling a bit tight and love getting pats after comforting staff members whilst they work through difficult tasks. You might even be lucky to get me on the other end of the phone!
