AI demand forecasting in Napier-Hastings.
AI demand forecasting designed around the way a Napier-Hastings team actually runs.
Hawke's Bay grows more apples, pears and stone fruit than anywhere else in New Zealand. We automate the packing schedules, export paperwork and staff admin behind it.
How it works in Napier-Hastings
We find the one workflow costing Napier-Hastings businesses the most hours, ship a working slice into production in weeks, prove it pays for itself, then harden it and hand it over.
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.
An AI agency, minus the theatre.

What Napier-Hastings runs on.
Farming, horticulture, wine and tourism are Hawke's Bay's key industries, and the region is the country's largest producer of apples, pears and stone fruit, much of it exported through Napier Port.
Napier Port is the main export port for the east coast of the central North Island. Harvest season brings some of Napier Port's highest export volumes.
Straight answers
How fast could we have AI demand forecasting in production?
Eight to ten weeks for most Napier-Hastings 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 AI demand forecasting cost for a Napier-Hastings?
Pilots start from a fixed scope priced to land a measurable result inside 6 weeks. Pricing depends on data volume, integration complexity, and whether you need us on managed services afterwards. We'll quote precisely after a 30-minute scoping call.
What if our Napier-Hastings 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.
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 you work to the NZISM?
The NZISM is the government's information security manual and is written for vendors serving agencies as well as the agencies themselves, so government-adjacent work should be built to it.
