Just to follow up on this question, we ended up rolling our own Mac app to do what I wanted. Since then, I have found one application that came close to what I was after; Sketch3. The best thing for me in this app is the export; it is really good at exporting (with @2x , @3x automatically included). However, it falls down at the setup which is too much work for what I was wanting. The app we made does what I wanted better. Unfortunately, I am not in a position to make this tool available.

Feel free to edit this post and add the tool you use plus any resources you feel are useful.

Imagemagick

The common way of doing mass cropping in a webdev environment is to use Imagemagick Its a command line tool that has bindings to nearly anything (like PHP) and its free and can easily be built into your web app frontend. So your web application would handle the cropping for you.

If you don't want to use command line there's a nice web frontend for Imagemagic called Converseen, that makes it easy to use without needing to delve into the cmd.

Imagemagick is a incredibly simple tool with many uses.

Irfanview

irfanview as mentioned by @Joonas a pretty comprehensive viewer application and it has a batch tool set that could easily do this conversion. Its a good all around program to have in case you need to do a lot of image batching.
