AI demand forecasting in Dunedin.

AI demand forecasting designed around the way a Dunedin team actually runs.

Dunedin, up close.

Dunedin's economy is led by healthcare and social assistance, education and training, and professional, scientific and technical services, and the University of Otago contributes about 15 per cent of the city's GDP.

The University of Otago supports about 9 per cent of Dunedin's workforce. Otago Anniversary Day falls on on or near 23 March.

Dunedin runs on health, education and professional services, where every hour lost to paperwork is an hour away from students, patients and clients. We give it back.

Built differently, on purpose.

Honest about what AI can and cannot do

Ships the one workflow that pays for itself

Hours given back, never the size of the invoice

*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.

Built around how New Zealand works.

Demand and cash flow forecasts from your own history, including the harvest, school holiday and public holiday swings your business actually has.

  • 11 public holidays, plus yours
  • Four school terms a year
  • The Public Service AI Framework
We'd call the engagement a success when Dunedin teams are using the system without thinking about us. Stockouts down 35%, overstock down 22% in the first season. Kiwi Dynamics

On the tools or running at scale, the admin still eats the week :)

The questions a public sector buyer asks, answered up front: privacy impact, the NZISM, where the data lives and how an algorithm is held to account.

*Illustrative example based on nine hours a week of admin. Actual results vary by workflow and business.

How Kiwi Dynamics works

We find the one workflow costing Dunedin businesses the most hours, ship a working slice into production in weeks, prove it pays for itself, then harden it and hand it over.

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".

What tools do you build AI demand forecasting on?

For AI demand forecasting we usually reach for Prophet, DuckDB, Claude, BigQuery, Vercel. We're tool-agnostic at heart - we pick what your Dunedin team can actually run after we hand the build over, not what looks good on a vendor sticker.

Is AI demand forecasting worth it for a smaller Dunedin?

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.

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.

Can the AI run on New Zealand-hosted cloud?

Yes, the options now exist. Microsoft opened a New Zealand cloud region in December 2024 and AWS followed in September 2025, both with local data residency.
