AI demand forecasting in Greymouth.
Built and supported here - the way a Greymouth business would actually use it.
Mining, dairy and tourism all lean on Greymouth for servicing and supplies. We build AI that handles the job sheets, compliance and invoicing behind that work.
What AI demand forecasting actually does
Forecasts that account for school holidays, NZ weather, tourist seasons, and your own promo calendar. With the right workflow automated, nine hours of admin a week could drop to about one.*
*Illustrative example only, based on 9 hours a week of admin falling to about 1 hour a week. Actual results vary by workflow and business.
Small team.
Real systems.
Zero fluff.
What you get
We'd call the engagement a success when Greymouth teams are using the system without thinking about us.
- Combines your sales history with weather, calendar, and event data
- Per-SKU and per-store forecasts, not whole-business averages
- Re-forecasts weekly as new data comes in
- Explains the why behind every number
- No AI theatre
- No annual contracts
Greymouth, up close.
Greymouth is the commercial, professional, retail and manufacturing centre of the West Coast, and much of the servicing for coal, gold and aggregate mining is based there.
The Grey District has about 30 per cent of the West Coast's mining employment.
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.
Built differently, on purpose.
*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.
Small crew or big organisation, the busywork is the same :)
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.

Good questions, answered
Do you have proof this works for Greymouth businesses?
Direct case study: Stockouts down 35%, overstock down 22% in the first season. Happy to walk you through full numbers on a call.
Will this run on our own infrastructure?
Yes, where it makes sense. AI demand forecasting can sit entirely in your cloud account, with model calls routed through endpoints you control. We default to Prophet, DuckDB, Claude, BigQuery, Vercel but the architecture supports your existing platform choices.
How do you price AI demand forecasting engagements?
Fixed-scope pilots first, then either project pricing or a small monthly retainer for the ongoing work. No long lock-ins, no 18-month black-box deals. Most Greymouth businesses are surprised how small the first cheque is.
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.
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.
