Custom software development in Cromwell.
Business systems built for you, built for businesses operating in Cromwell.
Nearly half of New Zealand's export cherries come from the Cromwell Basin. When picking starts, AI keeps orders, staff and export paperwork moving.
An AI agency, minus the theatre.
*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.
Built around how New Zealand works.
Business systems wired into the tools New Zealand organisations already run, like Xero, so data is entered once and stays consistent.
- Xero, founded in New Zealand
- GST at 15 per cent
- An annual return every year
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.
Cromwell, up close.
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.
The shape of the result for Cromwell teams: We map the process with the people who do the work first, then build the smallest system that replaces the spreadsheet. Built on TypeScript, hardened with the rest of the stack as it scales. Kiwi Dynamics
How the work runs
We find the one workflow costing Cromwell businesses the most hours, ship a working slice into production in weeks, prove it pays for itself, then harden it and hand it over.
Straight answers
Anyone else in this space using custom software development?
Plenty. We map the process with the people who do the work first, then build the smallest system that replaces the spreadsheet. The interesting question is rarely "does it work" - it's "is your team ready to use the output." That's what we'd scope on the call.
How long does custom software development take to ship for Cromwell businesses?
We aim for a working pilot inside 4-6 weeks - narrow scope, real Cromwell businesses data, measurable outcome. From there it's another 6-8 weeks of hardening before you'd consider it production. Full rollouts (multiple sites, multiple teams) typically land in 3-4 months.
Who owns the code and the model setup?
You do, on delivery. We deploy custom software development into your own cloud account where possible, with the model setup, prompts, evals and integration code all checked into a repo you own. TypeScript sits in your account too - we don't operate it from ours.
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.
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.
