AI inbound sales in Kaikōura.
Built and supported here - the way a Kaikōura business would actually use it.
Kaikōura welcomes around a million visitors a year. We automate bookings, enquiries and reviews so small teams keep up with big seasons.
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.

What AI inbound sales actually do
An AI agent that picks up every inbound enquiry the moment it lands - qualifies the lead, answers their questions with your real product knowledge, books the meeting, and only escalates the deals worth a human conversation. 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.
Not your typical AI agency.
*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.
Already buried in admin? We'll sort the first workflow for you :)
Nine hours a week of admin is 468 hours a year. That could drop to about 52.*

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.

Straight answers
Are there hidden costs we should plan for?
Three to know about: model/API spend (which we set up under your own account, not ours, so you see and control it), any new SaaS subscriptions we recommend, and your team's time during rollout. We surface all three in the quote so there are no surprises.
Can you work with our existing systems?
Yes. The default AI inbound sales stack we reach for is Claude / GPT-4 for conversation, Cal.com or HubSpot Meetings, Vector store of your sales collateral, Slack alerts for hot leads, but we'll bend it around whatever you already run - Xero, HubSpot, Shopify, Cin7, your own in-house apps. The discovery week maps every data source before any build starts.
Do you have proof this works for Kaikōura businesses?
Direct case study: An NZ B2B services firm cut average response time from 7 hours to 90 seconds and lifted demo-booked rate by 41%. Happy to walk you through full numbers on a call.
Can it keep track of ACC levies?
Yes. ACC work levies are set by the classification unit your work falls under, and self-employed people are invoiced after filing their tax return.
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.
