AI photo tagging in Gisborne.
Built and supported here - the way a Gisborne business would actually use it.
Cyclone Gabrielle hit about half of Tairāwhiti's horticulture land. As businesses rebuild, we automate the quoting, reporting and scheduling that eats the week.
How much is the admin really costing you?
Nine hours a week of admin is 468 hours a year. That could drop to about 52.*
*Illustrative, based on 9 hours a week of admin at a typical 80% automation rate. The calculator uses your own numbers.
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.
Built around how New Zealand works.
Site photos tagged by job, address and stage, ready for the records a code compliance certificate needs.
- Consent first, sign-off after
- Restricted work needs an LBP
- 11 public holidays, plus yours
What Gisborne runs on.
Tairāwhiti's economy is dominated by the primary sector, with agriculture, horticulture and forestry around 20 per cent of direct GDP, and more than a quarter of the regional economy depends directly on Eastland Port.
More than one in four households in the region has someone whose job depends on forestry.
One workflow.
In production.
In weeks.

Straight answers
Will this run on our own infrastructure?
Yes, where it makes sense. AI photo tagging can sit entirely in your cloud account, with model calls routed through endpoints you control. We default to Claude Vision, Replicate, Cloudinary, Vercel but the architecture supports your existing platform choices.
When does AI photo tagging actually pay back?
Inside the first quarter, in our experience. We pick the first slice specifically because it's the highest-leverage workflow for a Gisborne - so the savings start landing before the rest of the build is finished.
Do you do hourly billing or fixed price?
Fixed price for the pilot, every time. After that it's your call - fixed price per milestone or a small monthly retainer for ongoing iteration. We don't run open-ended T&M because it disincentivises us from finishing.
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.
Does it keep up with KiwiSaver changes?
It has to. The minimum employer contribution rose to 3.5 per cent on 1 April 2026 and rises to 4 per cent on 1 April 2028.
