AI demand forecasting in Hamilton.
Built and supported here - the way a Hamilton business would actually use it.
Hamilton mixes healthcare, manufacturing and the agritech that turns up at Fieldays every June. We build AI for the admin those businesses still do by hand.
How it works in Hamilton
We find the one workflow costing Hamilton businesses the most hours, ship a working slice into production in weeks, prove it pays for itself, then harden it and hand it over.
An AI agency, minus the theatre.
*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.
On the tools or running at scale, the admin still eats the week :)
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.
*Illustrative example based on nine hours a week of admin. Actual results vary by workflow and business.
Hamilton, up close.
Healthcare is Hamilton's largest employment sector at 16 per cent of jobs, alongside manufacturing, logistics, education and tech, and the University of Waikato and Wintec make it a centre of learning and research.
Fieldays at Mystery Creek is the Southern Hemisphere's largest agricultural event. Fieldays runs at Mystery Creek every June.
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.

Good questions, answered
What's the realistic outcome for Hamilton businesses?
Stockouts down 35%, overstock down 22% in the first season. We don't promise tenfold lifts because we don't see them outside of marketing decks.
Who owns the code and the model setup?
You do, on delivery. We deploy AI demand forecasting into your own cloud account where possible, with the model setup, prompts, evals and integration code all checked into a repo you own. Prophet sits in your account too - we don't operate it from ours.
How long does AI demand forecasting take to ship for Hamilton businesses?
We aim for a working pilot inside 4-6 weeks - narrow scope, real Hamilton businesses data, measurable outcome. From there it's another 6-8 weeks of hardening before you'd consider it production. Full rollouts (multiple sites, multiple teams) typically land in 3-4 months.
Do you respond to government tenders?
Most large government contracts are advertised on GETS, the Government Electronic Tender Service, where suppliers register with RealMe.
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.
