AI social media in Palmerston North.
AI social manager, built for businesses operating in Palmerston North.
Built differently, on purpose.
*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.
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.
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.
What Palmerston North runs on.
The Manawatū economy spans distribution and logistics, construction, manufacturing, agritech and research science, and Palmerston North is home to the Linton and Ohakea defence bases.
Te Utanganui, the central New Zealand distribution hub, connects road, rail, air and sea networks from Palmerston North. Wellington Anniversary Day falls on on or near 22 January.
Made for New Zealand paperwork.
Social posts drafted in your voice around local events and seasons, scheduled and approved without taking your evening.
- Serious breaches get reported
- ACC levies set by industry

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 team.
Real systems.
Zero fluff.

Straight answers
Can you work with our existing systems?
Yes. The default AI social media stack we reach for is Claude, Buffer, Meta Graph API, Vercel, but we'll bend it around whatever you already run - Xero, HubSpot, Shopify, Cin7, your own in-house apps. The discovery week maps every data source before any build starts.
What's a typical engagement length for Palmerston North 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.
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.
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.
Can AI help with payday filing?
It can prepare it. Employers file employment information every payday, within 2 working days when filing electronically, and automation can have it ready for a person to check.
