About us

Davallia Technology is a privately owned software development firm created in 1996 by its Principal, Tim Jansz. Since its inception, the sole focus of the company has been to design, develop, market, and support innovative software solutions to real world problems, particularly where alternative solutions do not exist or are substandard.


The genesis of SmartRoster...

SmartRoster was designed and developed by the Managing Director, Tim Jansz, a software developer and systems analyst of many years experience. Over a number of years Tim has had responsibility for creating service rosters at his home church. After putting together a few rosters manually he came to the inescapable conclusion that here was a task that was supremely suited to a computer! Unable to find an appropriate product on the Internet, he spoke to several other church schedulers and discovered that they too were spending a lot of time and frustration on a regular basis putting their service rosters together. As he listened to them and compiled their wish lists, he also realised that many churches simply could not afford an expensive solution. He set about developing a cost effective program that would release many beleaguered church administrators to return to the central tasks of ministry and mission. SmartRoster is the result of 5 years of dedicated and incremental development, and is guaranteed to enhance any church's communication and service.
