Mobile app development in Cromwell.
iOS and Android apps, 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.
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.
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.
How it works in Cromwell
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.
Built around how New Zealand works.
Mobile apps that keep working with patchy coverage and sync later, built for crews working outside the main centres.
- An annual return every year
- ACC levies set by industry
- GST at 15 per cent
One workflow.
In production.
In weeks.
What mobile apps covers
We'd call the engagement a success when Cromwell 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 annual contracts
- No shelfware or licences you do not use
Questions Cromwell businesses ask
Who owns the code and the model setup?
You do, on delivery. We deploy mobile apps into your own cloud account where possible, with the model setup, prompts, evals and integration code all checked into a repo you own. React Native sits in your account too - we don't operate it from ours.
How long does mobile apps 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.
Are there hidden costs we should plan for?
Three to know about: model/API spend (which we set up under your own account, not ours, so you see and control it), any new SaaS subscriptions we recommend, and your team's time during rollout. We surface all three in the quote so there are no surprises.
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.
Can it keep track of ACC levies?
Yes. ACC work levies are set by the classification unit your work falls under, and self-employed people are invoiced after filing their tax return.
