AI quoting in Kaikōura.
AI quoting that lives in your stack, not on a vendor's roadmap. Shipped from Canterbury.
Definitely not a typical AI agency.
*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.
Kaikōura welcomes around a million visitors a year. We automate bookings, enquiries and reviews so small teams keep up with big seasons.
How the work runs
We find the one workflow costing Kaikōura businesses the most hours, ship a working slice into production in weeks, prove it pays for itself, then harden it and hand it over.
Made for New Zealand paperwork.
Quotes drafted from your price list with GST at 15 per cent shown correctly, so the customer gets a number while they still care.
- GST at 15 per cent
- Health and safety sits with the business
- Consent first, sign-off after
From one-person trades to national organisations, we find the hours :)
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.
What Kaikōura runs on.
Tourism, directly and indirectly, is the major contributor to Kaikōura's GDP, built on whales, the coastline and crayfish, alongside the district's fishing and farming heritage.
A deep undersea canyon brings Giant Sperm Whales close to the coast, and Whale Watch has run since 1987.
One workflow.
In production.
In weeks.
What AI quoting covers
We'd call the engagement a success when Kaikōura teams are using the system without thinking about us.
- Reads photos, voice notes, emails, and PDFs
- Uses your pricing rules and current material costs
- Drafts in your branded template, ready to send
- Tracks win/loss to make the next quote sharper
- No annual contracts
- No shelfware or licences you do not use
Questions Kaikōura businesses ask
How quickly can we see something running?
Week three for a clickable internal demo against real data. Week six for a slice your team can actually use. We hold ourselves to those numbers because they're what stops a project drifting into "endless discovery".
Do you have proof this works for Kaikōura businesses?
Direct case study: Quote turnaround drops from days to under an hour. Happy to walk you through full numbers on a call.
What's the smallest engagement you'd take on?
A two-week paid discovery for Kaikōura businesses that aren't sure whether the build is worth doing at all. You get a one-page write-up of what we'd build, what we'd skip, and what it would cost. About 30% of those discoveries end with us recommending you don't proceed.
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.
Will quotes and invoices show GST properly?
Yes. GST is 15 per cent on most goods and services in New Zealand, and anything we build that prices work shows it the way your accounts need.
