Mobile app development in Oamaru.
For Oamaru operators who want a working pilot in weeks, not a year-long programme.
An AI agency, minus the theatre.
*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. 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.
Knows the New Zealand rules.
Mobile apps that keep working with patchy coverage and sync later, built for crews working outside the main centres.
- Payday filing, every payday
- An annual return every year
- GST at 15 per cent
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.
Less admin.
More weekend.
No theatre.
What you get
We'd call the engagement a success when Oamaru teams are using the system without thinking about us.
- One codebase for iOS and Android, so you are not paying twice
- We handle App Store and Google Play submission and review
- Works offline in the ute, syncs when the signal comes back
- Push notifications your team will actually read, not noise
- No shelfware or licences you do not use
- No AI theatre
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.
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
What's a typical engagement length for Oamaru businesses?
Six to twelve weeks for the build, then a short managed-services month while the system goes from "shipped" to "owned by your team". After that you keep us on retainer if you want, or take it from there yourself.
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. Most first releases are in the stores inside 8 weeks, not 8 months.
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.
Do you work with Xero?
Yes. Xero is one of the systems we build around, and we connect to the other tools you already run rather than asking you to switch.
Does scheduling handle public holidays?
It should. New Zealand has 11 national public holidays, including Matariki, plus a regional anniversary day that depends on where your business is.
