AI fraud detection in Queenstown.
AI fraud + anomaly, built for businesses operating in Queenstown.
Queenstown staffs up for the ski season, then again for summer. We automate rostering, onboarding and guest enquiries so each new season starts without the scramble.
Already buried in admin? We'll sort the first workflow for 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.
What Queenstown runs on.
Tourism is the foundation of the Queenstown Lakes economy, and the district hosts far more international visitors per resident than much larger cities.
Coronet Peak and The Remarkables draw skiers from around the world. Winter ski season runs from June, and summer brings adventure tourism, with both peaks needing temporary staff.
Built around how New Zealand works.
Checks invoices and changed bank details against the supplier you actually deal with, and flags anything that does not match before it is paid.
- ACC levies set by industry
- What the Privacy Commissioner expects
- Xero, founded in New Zealand
Small crew or big organisation, the busywork is the same :)
The questions a public sector buyer asks, answered up front: privacy impact, the NZISM, where the data lives and how an algorithm is held to account.
*Illustrative example based on nine hours a week of admin. Actual results vary by workflow and business.
Small team.
Real systems.
Zero fluff.

Questions Queenstown businesses ask
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. Recovers 3-5x its cost in caught fraud within 6 months.
What's a typical engagement length for Queenstown 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.
Can the AI run on New Zealand-hosted cloud?
Yes, the options now exist. Microsoft opened a New Zealand cloud region in December 2024 and AWS followed in September 2025, both with local data residency.
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.
