Custom software development in Napier-Hastings.
Built and supported here - the way a Napier-Hastings business would actually use it.
Not your typical AI agency.
*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.
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 the work runs
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.
Knows the New Zealand rules.
Business systems wired into the tools New Zealand organisations already run, like Xero, so data is entered once and stays consistent.
- Xero, founded in New Zealand
- GST at 15 per cent
- An annual return every year
Business in Napier-Hastings.
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.
Less admin.
More weekend.
No theatre.
What custom software development covers
If we build the right slice first, Napier-Hastings teams feel the difference inside the first month.
- Internal systems for jobs, quotes, stock, rosters and reporting
- Client and supplier portals with proper logins and permissions
- Integrations with Xero, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace and the tools you already run
- Code, data and hosting accounts owned by you from day one
- No shelfware or licences you do not use
- No AI theatre
From one-person trades to national organisations, we find the hours :)
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.
Good questions, answered
Can you work with our existing systems?
Yes. The default custom software development stack we reach for is TypeScript, Postgres, Next.js, Cloudflare, Xero API, 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.
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.
What's the realistic outcome for Napier-Hastings businesses?
We map the process with the people who do the work first, then build the smallest system that replaces the spreadsheet. We don't promise tenfold lifts because we don't see them outside of marketing decks.
Can it remind us about the annual return?
Yes. Every company must file an annual return with the Companies Office each year, separate from its tax return.
Do you work with Xero?
Yes. Xero is one of the systems we build around, and we connect to the other tools you already run rather than asking you to switch.
