How long does AI take to ship for Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand teams?
We aim for a working pilot inside 4-6 weeks - narrow scope, real Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand teams data, measurable outcome.

Who owns the code and the model setup?
You do, on delivery. We deploy AI into your own cloud account where possible, with the model setup, prompts, evals and integration code all checked into a repo you own. Answer status and booking questions sits in your account too - we don't operate it from ours.

Fixed-scope pilots first, then either project pricing or a small monthly retainer for the ongoing work. No long lock-ins, no 18-month black-box deals. Most Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand teams are surprised how small the first cheque is.
What happens when the Holidays Act is replaced?

Will it work alongside Fergus or Tradify?
We build around the tools you already run instead of replacing them. Fergus and Tradify are both job management tools built in New Zealand for trades.
