Mobile app development in Blenheim.
Mobile apps that lives in your stack, not on a vendor's roadmap. Shipped from Marlborough.
Business in Blenheim.
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.
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.
Knows the New Zealand rules.
Mobile apps that keep working with patchy coverage and sync later, built for crews working outside the main centres.
- Serious breaches get reported
- ACC levies set by industry
- 11 public holidays, plus yours
How much is the admin really costing 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.
On the tools or running at scale, the admin still eats the week :)
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.
Small team.
Real systems.
Zero fluff.
What mobile apps covers
We'd call the engagement a success when Blenheim teams are using the system without thinking about us.
- One codebase for iOS and Android, so you are not paying twice
- We handle App Store and Google Play submission and review
- Works offline in the ute, syncs when the signal comes back
- Push notifications your team will actually read, not noise
- No shelfware or licences you do not use
- No AI theatre
An AI agency, minus the theatre.
*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.
Good questions, answered
What if our Blenheim doesn't have any data ready?
Most don't. Getting the data into shape - ingestion, cleaning, the lightweight contracts you need before any model is useful - is part of the engagement. For mobile apps specifically, we typically run that work on React Native, Expo, Swift, Kotlin, Supabase, Cloudflare Workers and assume messy starting conditions from day one.
What's the smallest engagement you'd take on?
A two-week paid discovery for Blenheim businesses that aren't sure whether the build is worth doing at all. You get a one-page write-up of what we'd build, what we'd skip, and what it would cost. About 30% of those discoveries end with us recommending you don't proceed.
How fast could we have mobile apps in production?
Eight to ten weeks for most Blenheim businesses. Faster if your data is in good shape and slower if we're untangling a legacy integration first. We'll give you a realistic number on the scoping call rather than the optimistic one.
Do you work with Xero?
Yes. Xero is one of the systems we build around, and we connect to the other tools you already run rather than asking you to switch.
What happens when the Holidays Act is replaced?
The Employment Leave Act 2026 replaces it on 6 August 2028. Until then payroll follows the current Holidays Act, so leave calculations need to handle today's rules and the changeover.
