Straight answers
Will this run on our own infrastructure?
Yes, where it makes sense. AI photo tagging can sit entirely in your cloud account, with model calls routed through endpoints you control. We default to Claude Vision, Replicate, Cloudinary, Vercel but the architecture supports your existing platform choices.
How do you price AI photo tagging engagements?
Fixed-scope pilots first, then either project pricing or a small monthly retainer for the ongoing work. No long lock-ins, no 18-month black-box deals. Most New Plymouth businesses are surprised how small the first cheque is.
Can you walk us through a comparable build?
Yes - on the first call we'll pick the closest engagement we've shipped to what you're describing and walk through the outcome, the headcount and the time it took. Photo admin time cut from hours per week to minutes.
Can it keep track of ACC levies?
Yes. ACC work levies are set by the classification unit your work falls under, and self-employed people are invoiced after filing their tax return.
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.
