Already buried in admin? We'll sort the first workflow for you :)

Napier-Hastings, up close.
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.

Good questions, answered
What's the realistic outcome for Napier-Hastings businesses?
Quote turnaround drops from days to under an hour. We don't promise tenfold lifts because we don't see them outside of marketing decks.
What's the realistic timeline for AI quoting with a Napier-Hastings?
Most Napier-Hastings businesses have their first usable slice in week 5 or 6. We'd rather ship narrow and real than broad and aspirational - your team gets to use the thing well before the engagement is "done".
What happens if we want to swap a vendor out later?
AI quoting is built behind a small adapter layer specifically so swapping a model provider or a data source is a one-day job, not a re-architecture. Claude Vision, Whisper, Xero, Vercel are our defaults, but the build is intentionally portable.
Can reminders follow the new WoF rules?
They need to. From 1 November 2026 many light vehicles aged 4 to 14 years move to a WoF every two years, and new vehicles get their second WoF at 4 years.
Can AI help with payday filing?
It can prepare it. Employers file employment information every payday, within 2 working days when filing electronically, and automation can have it ready for a person to check.
