Is AI worth it for a smaller diagnostic medical sonographers team?
Often, yes - and counterintuitively the ROI is sometimes faster than for the big end of town because there's less integration overhead. We'll tell you honestly on the scoping call if it isn't.
What tools do you build AI on?
For AI we usually reach for Handle bookings, triage and reminders by voice, Summarise notes in plain language, Answer staff questions over your protocols, Cut phone and paperwork time. We're tool-agnostic at heart - we pick what your diagnostic medical sonographers team team can actually run after we hand the build over, not what looks good on a vendor sticker.
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.
