AI demand forecasting in Masterton.
AI demand forecasting that lives in your stack, not on a vendor's roadmap. Shipped from Wairarapa.
Farms, forestry crews and Martinborough vineyards all do business through Masterton. We automate the quoting, job tracking and invoicing that keeps them supplied.
What Masterton runs on.
Agriculture and forestry are the Wairarapa's most important industries, and Masterton is the services and commercial hub for that farming and forestry economy.
Grape growing and winemaking around Martinborough is the core of the Wairarapa's horticulture.
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.
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.*
*Illustrative, based on 9 hours a week of admin at a typical 80% automation rate. The calculator uses your own numbers.

Straight answers
What if our Masterton doesn't have any data ready?
Most don't. Getting the data into shape - ingestion, cleaning, the lightweight contracts you need before any model is useful - is part of the engagement. For AI demand forecasting specifically, we typically run that work on Prophet, DuckDB, Claude, BigQuery, Vercel and assume messy starting conditions from day one.
Has this actually shipped for a real Masterton?
Yes. Stockouts down 35%, overstock down 22% in the first season. We'll share comparable engagements on the call.
How fast could we have AI demand forecasting in production?
Eight to ten weeks for most Masterton businesses. Faster if your data is in good shape and slower if we're untangling a legacy integration first. We'll give you a realistic number on the scoping call rather than the optimistic one.
What does the Privacy Act 2020 mean for AI?
The same rules apply as for any system holding personal information. A breach that could cause serious harm must be reported to the Privacy Commissioner, who expects it within 72 hours.
What does the Privacy Commissioner expect before we use AI?
Senior leadership sign-off, a check that the tool is necessary and proportionate, and a privacy impact assessment before it goes live.
