We make businesses leaner, faster, and more intelligent, one system at a time.
Founded by Lachy Blake, Cinova builds the custom software businesses run on, with AI built in, plus websites and graphic design.
Good people deserve better tools.
Too much of a working day can disappear into spreadsheets, repeated data entry and chasing information between systems. The people doing the work know what needs to happen. Their tools should help them do it.
Cinova started with a simple ambition: build software around the way a business actually works. Bring the information together, remove the repetitive steps and give teams more time for the work that matters.
That is the journey we are on. Start with the real problem, build something useful, and keep improving it as the business grows.
How we think.
Four principles that shape every project we take on.
AI-Native
We think in systems, not features. Every solution starts with the question: how should intelligence flow through this process?
Less Is More
Fewer tools, fewer steps, fewer people in the loop. We strip complexity out of businesses so they can move faster with less.
Speed Matters
We ship in weeks, not quarters. You see working software early and use it sooner, instead of waiting months for a big reveal.
Built to Last
No duct-tape solutions. Everything we build is production-grade, scalable, and designed to run without babysitting.
Who you work with.
Lloyd Croaker
Decades of hands-on industry and infrastructure experience across management and operations: the bridge between real-world work and the software we build for it.
Lachlan Blake
Builds and ships the software. Leads engineering, AI and the public-facing brand. Documents the build at lachyblake.com.
Manuela Espitia

Backing those who give.
We stand behind the charities and community groups making a real difference on the ground, and we take on more as we grow.
