I help Australian SMEs and mid-market organisations get more from the HR systems they already have, and build small, purpose-made tools for the processes those systems don't cover.
Book a free intro callA casual pool that changes every week. Contractors on site who need current insurance and a completed induction. Onboarding steps that live in one person's head. An approval chain your system can't model.
Big platforms are built for the common case. When your process falls outside it, the usual options are a spreadsheet, a workaround, or an expensive customisation project.
There's a middle path. A small tool that does one job properly and connects to the system you already pay for.
Two examples of the kind of tool I build, shown with made-up data. Yours would be shaped around your process and your system.
Two practices, one person. Consulting keeps your HR system working properly. Custom solutions cover the processes it was never designed for.
Small tools built around how your organisation actually works, connected to the HR system you already use. Typical builds:
Scoping from $495 · builds from $2,500 ex GST, fixed price
Support and optimisation for SAP SuccessFactors: release updates, troubleshooting, and configuration fixes. The aim is to catch issues before your HR team does.
Dashboards that show leadership where attrition risk is building, where engagement is slipping, and what's driving it.
Roadmap and platform advice for HR leaders, with no preferred vendor. We start with what your organisation is trying to do, then work back to the technology.
30 minutes to talk through the problem and whether a tool is the right fix.
FreeA working session on your process and system, then a written scope with a fixed quote. If your current system can already do it, you'll hear that here.
From $495 · credited if you proceedThe tool is built to the agreed scope, connected to your HR system, and tested with your team.
From $2,500 · fixed priceDocumentation, a walkthrough, and a support arrangement agreed up front, so you know who fixes what.

Mello Consulting Group is a personal practice, run by me, Angelo Jr Armas, not a committee.
I've spent fifteen years in HR systems, most of it in SAP SuccessFactors, across education, construction, finance, FMCG, health and the public sector.
Before I build anything, I check whether your existing system can already do the job. If it can, I'll show you how. If it can't, I'll scope a tool sized to the problem.
Every deliverable answers a specific question your business is actually asking.
If your current system can already do it, you'll hear that before you hear a quote.
If a problem is outside what I do well, I'll tell you, and where possible point you to someone who does.
SMEs and mid-market organisations: fewer layers, direct decisions. The work is scoped to your size, not scaled down from an enterprise playbook.
No. SuccessFactors is where my deepest experience sits, but custom tools can work alongside other HR and payroll platforms, connecting through the platform's API or integration tools where they're available. Scoping confirms what your system allows before you commit to anything.
Small, focused tools for processes your HR system doesn't handle well. Common examples are casual workforce and shift management, contractor compliance tracking, onboarding and recruitment steps specific to your organisation, and custom checklists and approval flows. If your process lives in a spreadsheet and someone's inbox, it's probably a candidate.
The intro call is free. Scoping starts from $495 ex GST and gives you a written scope and a fixed quote. If you go ahead, that fee is credited against the build. Builds start from $2,500 ex GST, with the price agreed in writing before work begins. Ongoing support is quoted per engagement.
Ownership, licensing and access are set out in your written agreement before any build starts, so there are no surprises later.
Platform updates can change how integrations behave. Every build comes with documentation, and the support arrangement is agreed up front, so you know who fixes what and what it costs.
It's agreed during scoping: what's collected, where it's stored, and who can access it. The default is to collect only what the process needs and keep it in systems you control, in line with the Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian Privacy Principles.
Thirty minutes is usually enough to know whether I can help.
