Custom software development in Oamaru.
Business systems built for you, built for businesses operating in Oamaru.
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.
How Kiwi Dynamics works
We find the one workflow costing Oamaru businesses the most hours, ship a working slice into production in weeks, prove it pays for itself, then harden it and hand it over.
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.
*Illustrative example based on nine hours a week of admin. Actual results vary by workflow and business.
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
- Serious breaches get reported
Business in Oamaru.
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.
One workflow.
In production.
In weeks.
What you get
We map the process with the people who do the work first, then build the smallest system that replaces the spreadsheet.
- 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 annual contracts
- No AI theatre
Definitely not a typical AI agency.
*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.
Good questions, answered
Will this run on our own infrastructure?
Yes, where it makes sense. Custom software development can sit entirely in your cloud account, with model calls routed through endpoints you control. We default to TypeScript, Postgres, Next.js, Cloudflare, Xero API but the architecture supports your existing platform choices.
How do you price custom software development 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 Oamaru businesses are surprised how small the first cheque is.
Do you have proof this works for Oamaru businesses?
Direct case study: We map the process with the people who do the work first, then build the smallest system that replaces the spreadsheet. Happy to walk you through full numbers on a call.
What does the Privacy Act 2020 mean for AI?
The same rules apply as for any system holding personal information. A breach that could cause serious harm must be reported to the Privacy Commissioner, who expects it within 72 hours.
Is our data kept in New Zealand?
Kiwi Dynamics hosts its own infrastructure in New Zealand, under New Zealand governance. If personal information ever has to go offshore, privacy principle 12 requires comparable protection.
