AI demand forecasting in Rotorua.

Built and supported here - the way a Rotorua business would actually use it.

From one-person trades to national organisations, we find the hours :)

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.

Rotorua runs on forestry, wood processing and one of the country's busiest visitor economies. We build AI that handles bookings, timber orders and the reporting behind both.

How it works in Rotorua

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

An AI agency, minus the theatre.

Honest about what AI can and cannot do

Ships the one workflow that pays for itself

Hours given back, never the size of the invoice

*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.

Straight answers

How long does AI demand forecasting take to ship for Rotorua businesses?

We aim for a working pilot inside 4-6 weeks - narrow scope, real Rotorua businesses data, measurable outcome. From there it's another 6-8 weeks of hardening before you'd consider it production. Full rollouts (multiple sites, multiple teams) typically land in 3-4 months.

Who owns the code and the model setup?

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

Anyone else in this space using AI demand forecasting?

Plenty. Stockouts down 35%, overstock down 22% in the first season. The interesting question is rarely "does it work" - it's "is your team ready to use the output." That's what we'd scope on the call.

What does the Privacy Commissioner expect before we use AI?

Senior leadership sign-off, a check that the tool is necessary and proportionate, and a privacy impact assessment before it goes live.

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.
