Most of our Greymouth engagements start the same way: a 20-minute call where the owner describes a workflow we've heard before in shape but never in detail. AI demand forecasting is then designed against the detail, not the shape.

West Coast
Where Greymouth operators actually lose hours.
- The West Coast runs on mining, dairy, fishing, and tourism – AI here is about working efficiently across long, lonely distances.
- Resource industries, hospitality serving tourism flows, and the trades that keep it all running. Tools that work offline matter.
We work with teams across Greymouth: Greymouth · Hokitika · Westport · Reefton · Punakaiki.
Talk to us about this →How we build AI demand forecasting for a Greymouth team.
We scope narrow, ship a working pilot, then harden it into production. The first slice is the highest-leverage workflow for your Greymouth business, so value lands before the build is finished. AI sales + stock forecasting.

Questions
FAQ
When does AI demand forecasting 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 Greymouth – so the savings start landing before the rest of the build is finished.
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.
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.
Worth a conversation?
Even if you don't end up working with us, you'll leave the call knowing what's worth building.
