AI data analytics in Nelson.
AI data analytics designed around the way a Nelson team actually runs.
Seafood, forestry and horticulture move through Nelson every day. We build AI that handles the shipping paperwork, compliance records and invoicing that follow them.
Built around how New Zealand works.
Ask plain questions of your accounts and operations, starting with Xero, the accounting platform founded in New Zealand in 2006.
- Xero, founded in New Zealand
- GST at 15 per cent
- Holidays Act until August 2028
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.
Nelson, up close.
Nelson Tasman has the fastest growing blue economy in the country, and Nelson is home to Australasia's biggest fishing port.
Sealord, Talley's and NZ King Salmon all operate from the region. Nelson Anniversary Day falls on on or near 1 February.
One workflow.
In production.
In weeks.
What AI data analytics covers
The shape of the result for Nelson teams: Owners check the business in 2 minutes instead of 2 hours.
- Natural-language queries over your Xero, Shopify, CRM data
- Weekly auto-summaries delivered to inbox or Slack
- Anomaly detection - flags weird weeks before you notice
- Forecasts that explain themselves, not black boxes
- No annual contracts
- No AI theatre
Already buried in admin? We'll sort the first workflow for 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.
An AI agency, minus the theatre.
*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.
Questions Nelson businesses ask
What happens if we want to swap a vendor out later?
AI data analytics 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. DuckDB, Claude, Metabase, BigQuery, Vercel AI SDK are our defaults, but the build is intentionally portable.
What's the realistic timeline for AI data analytics with a Nelson?
Most Nelson 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 does AI data analytics cost for a Nelson?
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 happens when the Holidays Act is replaced?
The Employment Leave Act 2026 replaces it on 6 August 2028. Until then payroll follows the current Holidays Act, so leave calculations need to handle today's rules and the changeover.
How does this fit the Public Service AI Framework?
The framework, led by the Government Chief Digital Officer, asks for safe, transparent and accountable AI. Agencies that sign the Algorithm Charter also commit to transparency in how they use algorithms.
