AI email triage in Blenheim.
Built and supported here - the way a Blenheim business would actually use it.
When harvest peaks in March, rosters, contractor invoices and compliance records all land at once. We automate that paperwork so vintage gets your full attention.
What Blenheim runs on.
Marlborough is New Zealand's largest wine region, with almost 31,000 hectares of vines, around two thirds of the national total.
Marlborough put New Zealand on the international wine stage with its Sauvignon Blanc in the 1980s. Grape harvest runs to mid-April and peaks in March, with seasonal wine work from late January to May.
Small crew or big organisation, the busywork is the same :)
Quotes with GST, consent paperwork, LBP records and health and safety logs: the admin every New Zealand trade business carries.
*Illustrative example based on nine hours a week of admin. Actual results vary by workflow and business.
Knows the New Zealand rules.
Emails sorted by urgency, with IRD, ACC and council letters flagged first, so the ones with deadlines never get buried.
- ACC levies set by industry
- 11 public holidays, plus yours
- Payday filing, every payday
Small team.
Real systems.
Zero fluff.

Already buried in admin? We'll sort the first workflow for you :)
Nine hours a week of admin is 468 hours a year. That could drop to about 52.*
*Illustrative, based on 9 hours a week of admin at a typical 80% automation rate. The calculator uses your own numbers.
Built differently, on purpose.
*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.
Straight answers
When does AI email triage actually pay back?
Inside the first quarter, in our experience. We pick the first slice specifically because it's the highest-leverage workflow for a Blenheim - so the savings start landing before the rest of the build is finished.
Will this run on our own infrastructure?
Yes, where it makes sense. AI email triage can sit entirely in your cloud account, with model calls routed through endpoints you control. We default to Claude, Gmail API, Microsoft Graph, Vercel but the architecture supports your existing platform choices.
Do you do hourly billing or fixed price?
Fixed price for the pilot, every time. After that it's your call - fixed price per milestone or a small monthly retainer for ongoing iteration. We don't run open-ended T&M because it disincentivises us from finishing.
What does the Privacy Act 2020 mean for AI?
The same rules apply as for any system holding personal information. A breach that could cause serious harm must be reported to the Privacy Commissioner, who expects it within 72 hours.
Is our data kept in New Zealand?
Kiwi Dynamics hosts its own infrastructure in New Zealand, under New Zealand governance. If personal information ever has to go offshore, privacy principle 12 requires comparable protection.
