AI efficiency audit in Cromwell.
AI efficiency audit designed around the way a Cromwell team actually runs.
Nearly half of New Zealand's export cherries come from the Cromwell Basin. When picking starts, AI keeps orders, staff and export paperwork moving.
Knows the New Zealand rules.
We find the admin that repeats every week, like payday filing and GST returns, and automate that first so the hours come back fastest.
- Payday filing, every payday
- GST at 15 per cent
- ACC levies set by industry
Business in Cromwell.
Horticulture is a mainstay of Central Otago, and nearly half of New Zealand's export cherries are grown in the Cromwell Basin.
Central Otago is the most southerly wine region, and most of its plantings are Pinot Noir.
From one-person trades to national organisations, we find the hours :)
Quotes with GST, consent paperwork, LBP records and health and safety logs: the admin every New Zealand trade business carries.

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.*

Straight answers
What does AI efficiency audit cost for a Cromwell?
Pilots start from a fixed scope priced to land a measurable result inside 6 weeks. Pricing depends on data volume, integration complexity, and whether you need us on managed services afterwards. We'll quote precisely after a 30-minute scoping call.
What if our Cromwell 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 AI efficiency audit specifically, we typically run that work on Claude, Notion, Loom, Linear, Vercel and assume messy starting conditions from day one.
How fast could we have AI efficiency audit in production?
Eight to ten weeks for most Cromwell 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.
Does it keep up with KiwiSaver changes?
It has to. The minimum employer contribution rose to 3.5 per cent on 1 April 2026 and rises to 4 per cent on 1 April 2028.
Does scheduling handle public holidays?
It should. New Zealand has 11 national public holidays, including Matariki, plus a regional anniversary day that depends on where your business is.
