What app development covers
If we build the right slice first, Oamaru teams feel the difference inside the first month.
- iOS, Android and web from one team, on one codebase where it fits
- Backend, database and admin screens built alongside the app
- App Store and Google Play releases handled for you
- Screens designed with your staff and customers before code is written
- No annual contracts
- No shelfware or licences you do not use
Built differently, on purpose.
*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.
How much is the admin really costing 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.
Small crew or big organisation, the busywork is the same :)
Quotes with GST, consent paperwork, LBP records and health and safety logs: the admin every New Zealand trade business carries.

Oamaru, up close.
The Waitaki is a farming district at heart, with agriculture and related processing providing 27 per cent of jobs, and Oamaru is its largest business centre.
The blue penguins near Oamaru's port have become a significant visitor attraction.
Straight answers
Who owns the code and the model setup?
You do, on delivery. We deploy app development into your own cloud account where possible, with the model setup, prompts, evals and integration code all checked into a repo you own. Expo sits in your account too - we don't operate it from ours.
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.
How long does app development take to ship for Oamaru businesses?
We aim for a working pilot inside 4-6 weeks - narrow scope, real Oamaru businesses data, measurable outcome. From there it's another 6-8 weeks of hardening before you'd consider it production. Full rollouts (multiple sites, multiple teams) typically land in 3-4 months.
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.
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.
