Business automations in Cromwell.
End-to-end automations - wired into a Cromwell workflow, not bolted on the side.
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.
*Illustrative example based on nine hours a week of admin. Actual results vary by workflow and business.
Nearly half of New Zealand's export cherries come from the Cromwell Basin. When picking starts, AI keeps orders, staff and export paperwork moving.

Already buried in admin? We'll sort the first workflow for you :)

Not your typical AI agency.
*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.
What changes for Cromwell teams after this lands: the work that used to need a person stays done, the work that needs a person gets done with their attention undivided. Average client recovers 12 hours/week within the first 60 days. Kiwi Dynamics
Good questions, answered
How quickly can we see something running?
Week three for a clickable internal demo against real data. Week six for a slice your team can actually use. We hold ourselves to those numbers because they're what stops a project drifting into "endless discovery".
Is business automations worth it for a smaller Cromwell?
Often, yes - and counterintuitively the ROI is sometimes faster than for the big end of town because there's less integration overhead. We'll tell you honestly on the scoping call if it isn't.
What tools do you build business automations on?
For business automations we usually reach for n8n, Make, Zapier, Vercel Functions, Cloudflare Workers. We're tool-agnostic at heart - we pick what your Cromwell team can actually run after we hand the build over, not what looks good on a vendor sticker.
Can it remind us about the annual return?
Yes. Every company must file an annual return with the Companies Office each year, separate from its tax return.
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.
