We’ve all seen it before — a new system gets rolled out, and suddenly there’s a 40-page manual, three half-day training sessions, and a growing list of people quietly going back to their old spreadsheet.

If your software needs a full induction and a cheat sheet just to do the basics… something’s gone wrong.

Tech Should Make Work Easier, Not Harder

At HutSix, we believe good software should be like a well-designed tool: easy to pick up, obvious to use, and quietly powerful in the background. It should support your team — not slow them down.

We design systems that work without the training wheels.

That doesn’t mean we don’t offer support or guidance — of course we do. But it does mean that the systems we build are:

• Intuitive: Clear labels, smart layouts, and no guessing where to click.
  
• Consistent: Once you’ve done one task, the next one feels familiar.
  
• Friction-free: No clutter, no bloat, no features that exist just to tick a box.
  
• Role-based: People see exactly what they need — and nothing they don’t.
  
  

Because most people don’t want to learn a system. They just want to use it.

Designed for the People Using It — All of Them

We work with a huge range of users — from senior managers to night patrol workers, often across regional and remote Australia. That means designing for real people, not just digital natives.

• Many of our users are non-native English speakers, so we keep language simple and direct — and where helpful, we incorporate custom iconography in partnership with our sister company, bellette. That way, there’s no second-guessing what each button or function is supposed to do.

• We use required fields and guided workflows to gently enforce behaviour, ensuring that critical data is captured without the need for reminders or admin follow-up.
  
  
• And we design for hierarchies of access — so frontline users, coordinators, and managers each see what’s relevant to them, with the right level of responsibility and visibility.
  
  

It’s all about building confidence and clarity into the experience — from first-time login to daily use.

Training Is a Backup — Not a Strategy

We’ll always support clients through onboarding and change management. But our goal is for the system to make sense without needing a manual.

Because when the software just works, people actually use it. And that’s when the real benefits kick in — better data, better decisions, and way less time spent chasing people up.
