Business automations in Dunedin.
Business automations designed around the way a Dunedin team actually runs.
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.
Knows the New Zealand rules.
Automations for the admin every employer repeats, like payday filing within 2 working days and KiwiSaver at 3.5 per cent.
- Payday filing, every payday
- KiwiSaver now 3.5 per cent
- An annual return every year
One workflow.
In production.
In weeks.
What business automations covers
We'd call the engagement a success when Dunedin teams are using the system without thinking about us.
- Audit your existing workflow before automating anything
- Built on n8n, Make, or custom code - whatever fits
- Real monitoring and alerts when something breaks
- Documentation your team can actually read
- No shelfware or licences you do not use
- No AI theatre
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.
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.
Built differently, on purpose.
*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.
How the work runs
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.
Straight answers
What if our Dunedin 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 business automations specifically, we typically run that work on n8n, Make, Zapier, Vercel Functions, Cloudflare Workers and assume messy starting conditions from day one.
How fast could we have business automations in production?
Eight to ten weeks for most Dunedin 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.
What's the realistic outcome for Dunedin businesses?
Average client recovers 12 hours/week within the first 60 days. We don't promise tenfold lifts because we don't see them outside of marketing decks.
Can AI help with payday filing?
It can prepare it. Employers file employment information every payday, within 2 working days when filing electronically, and automation can have it ready for a person to check.
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.
