Dunedin sits in a regional context that genuinely changes the build. Connectivity assumptions, the rhythm of the working week, the proximity of your team to your customers - none of those are details our default business automations template would catch.
Business automations designed around the way a Dunedin team actually runs.
Our goal is to give Dunedin businesses a three-day weekend, so people can spend more time with their families and the people they love :)
What business automations actually does
The small repetitive things that quietly eat your week - done automatically. Quote follow-ups, job confirmations, review requests, supplier orders, weekly reports. Set once, runs forever.
- 01 Audit your existing workflow before automating anything
- 02 Built on n8n, Make, or custom code - whatever fits
- 03 Real monitoring and alerts when something breaks
- 04 Documentation your team can actually read
Built on: n8n Make Zapier Vercel Functions Cloudflare Workers

What you actually get
Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. This is what is in the box.
- A working pilot, in productionNot a prototype on someone's laptop. The first slice of business automations runs against real work within weeks.
- Your data stays yoursIt runs on your accounts and your tools. If we part ways you keep the system and everything in it.
- The workflow mapped before codeWe write down what good looks like for Dunedin businesses first, so nobody is guessing at handover.
- Support after it landsThe people who built it stay reachable when the business changes shape around it.
How business automations compares
The two things most businesses do instead, and where each one runs out.
| Hiring for it | An off-the-shelf tool | Kiwi Dynamics | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fit to how you work | Fits perfectly, costs a salary | You bend your process to suit the tool | Built around the workflow you already run |
| Time to something useful | Immediate, and permanent | Quick to switch on, slow to make fit | A working slice in weeks, then hardened |
| Who owns the data | You do | The vendor, on the vendor's terms | You do, in your own accounts |
| When it breaks | That person sorts it, if they are in | A support queue and a ticket number | The people who built it |
| What it costs | A salary, every year, forever | Per seat, forever, used or not | Scoped and quoted up front |

How we build business automations for a Dunedin team.
We scope narrow, ship a working pilot, then harden it into production. The first slice is the highest-leverage workflow for your Dunedin business, so value lands before the build is finished. End-to-end automations.
Talk to usHow the work runs
- Find the one workflowWe look for the job costing Dunedin businesses the most hours or the most leads, and deliberately ignore the rest for now.
- Ship a working sliceA narrow version goes into production in weeks, against real work, so the value shows up before the build is finished.
- Prove it, then widenWe measure it against what the work cost before. If it does not pay for itself, we say so rather than scaling it.
- Harden and hand overLogging, fallbacks and a real handover, so it keeps running when we are not in the room.
The outcome for Dunedin teams
We'd call the engagement a success when Dunedin teams are using the system without thinking about us. Average client recovers 12 hours/week within the first 60 days.

FAQ
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 does business automations cost for a Dunedin?
Pilots start from a fixed scope priced to land a measurable result inside 6 weeks. Pricing depends on data volume, integration complexity, and whether you need us on managed services afterwards. We'll quote precisely after a 30-minute scoping call.
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.
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.
One reply, one direction.
We don't run sequences or follow-up automation. One useful answer, one decision on your side.
