AI photo tagging in Oamaru.
Built and supported here - the way an Oamaru business would actually use it.
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.
Oamaru services the farms, processors and visitors of the Waitaki. We automate the job cards, stock orders and bookings that keep those small teams stretched.
Built around how New Zealand works.
Site photos tagged by job, address and stage, ready for the records a code compliance certificate needs.
- Consent first, sign-off after
- Restricted work needs an LBP
- Serious breaches get reported
One workflow.
In production.
In weeks.

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.
Not your typical AI agency.
*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.
Questions Oamaru businesses ask
When does AI photo tagging actually pay back?
Inside the first quarter, in our experience. We pick the first slice specifically because it's the highest-leverage workflow for an Oamaru - so the savings start landing before the rest of the build is finished.
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.
Do you do hourly billing or fixed price?
Fixed price for the pilot, every time. After that it's your call - fixed price per milestone or a small monthly retainer for ongoing iteration. We don't run open-ended T&M because it disincentivises us from finishing.
Will it work alongside Fergus or Tradify?
We build around the tools you already run instead of replacing them. Fergus and Tradify are both job management tools built in New Zealand for trades.
Will quotes and invoices show GST properly?
Yes. GST is 15 per cent on most goods and services in New Zealand, and anything we build that prices work shows it the way your accounts need.
