Quotes with GST, consent paperwork, LBP records and health and safety logs: the admin every New Zealand trade business carries.

How the work runs
We find the one workflow costing Patient Representatives the most hours, ship a working slice into production in weeks, prove it pays for itself, then harden it and hand it over.

Straight answers
When does AI actually pay back?
Inside the first quarter, in our experience. We pick the first slice specifically because it's the highest-leverage workflow for a patient representatives team - so the savings start landing before the rest of the build is finished.
How do you price AI engagements?
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 Patient Representatives are surprised how small the first cheque is.

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.
What does the Privacy Act 2020 mean for AI?
The same rules apply as for any system holding personal information. A breach that could cause serious harm must be reported to the Privacy Commissioner, who expects it within 72 hours.
