AI outreach in Kerikeri.
For Kerikeri operators who want a working pilot in weeks, not a year-long programme.
Kerikeri, up close.
Kerikeri-Waipapa is the largest and fastest growing centre in the Far North, with a strong horticulture industry, and kiwifruit is Northland's largest and most valuable crop.
Kerikeri-Waipapa accounts for 26 per cent of all regional employment in horticulture. Kiwifruit picking and packhouse work run from about March to mid-June.
New kiwifruit orchards keep going in around Kerikeri, and every hectare adds rosters, compliance records and invoices. We build AI that keeps the paperwork in step.
Not your typical AI agency.
*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 :)
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 AI outreach actually does
Multi-channel outreach run by an AI agent - email, LinkedIn, SMS - that reads like a real person who's actually done their homework. 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.
The shape of the result for Kerikeri teams: Replaced a 3-person outreach team for an NZ infrastructure consultancy - 5× the volume, same close rate. Built on Claude for message generation, hardened with the rest of the stack as it scales. Kiwi Dynamics
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.*

Good questions, answered
Do you do hourly billing or fixed price?
Fixed price for the pilot, every time. After that it's your call - fixed price per milestone or a small monthly retainer for ongoing iteration. We don't run open-ended T&M because it disincentivises us from finishing.
Can you work with our existing systems?
Yes. The default AI outreach stack we reach for is Claude for message generation, LinkedIn / Smartlead / Instantly for delivery, Apollo + Clay for enrichment, Custom guardrails for tone and compliance, 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.
What's a typical engagement length for Kerikeri businesses?
Six to twelve weeks for the build, then a short managed-services month while the system goes from "shipped" to "owned by your team". After that you keep us on retainer if you want, or take it from there yourself.
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 scheduling handle public holidays?
It should. New Zealand has 11 national public holidays, including Matariki, plus a regional anniversary day that depends on where your business is.
