On the tools or running at scale, the admin still eats the week :)
Quotes with GST, consent paperwork, LBP records and health and safety logs: the admin every New Zealand trade business carries.

Palmerston North moves freight for much of the country and hosts the Linton and Ohakea defence bases. We automate dispatch, bookings and reporting for the firms serving them.
Built differently, on purpose.

Already buried in admin? We'll sort the first workflow for you :)

Good questions, answered
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 AI agents take to ship for Palmerston North businesses?
We aim for a working pilot inside 4-6 weeks - narrow scope, real Palmerston North 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.
Has this actually shipped for a real Palmerston North?
Yes. Replaces 15+ hours of weekly back-office work per agent deployed. We'll share comparable engagements on the call.
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.
Does it keep up with KiwiSaver changes?
It has to. The minimum employer contribution rose to 3.5 per cent on 1 April 2026 and rises to 4 per cent on 1 April 2028.
