AI demand forecasting in Tauranga.

AI demand forecasting designed around the way a Tauranga team actually runs.

How it works in Tauranga

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

Tauranga ships the forestry, kiwifruit and dairy that fill New Zealand's export vessels. We automate the logistics paperwork, packhouse rosters and invoicing behind every container.

What AI demand forecasting actually does

Forecasts that account for school holidays, NZ weather, tourist seasons, and your own promo calendar. With the right workflow automated, nine hours of admin a week could drop to about one.*

*Illustrative example only, based on 9 hours a week of admin falling to about 1 hour a week. Actual results vary by workflow and business.

An AI agency, minus the theatre.

We say when AI is not the answer

Production first, demo second

You keep the hours, the data and the system

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

What changes for Tauranga teams after this lands: the work that used to need a person stays done, the work that needs a person gets done with their attention undivided. Stockouts down 35%, overstock down 22% in the first season. Kiwi Dynamics

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.

Tauranga, up close.

The Port of Tauranga is New Zealand's largest export port, and forestry, kiwifruit and dairy make up almost 75 per cent of its exports.

Most of New Zealand's kiwifruit crop is exported through the Port of Tauranga. Kiwifruit picking and packhouse work run from about March to mid-June.

Good questions, answered

What tools do you build AI demand forecasting on?

For AI demand forecasting we usually reach for Prophet, DuckDB, Claude, BigQuery, Vercel. We're tool-agnostic at heart - we pick what your Tauranga team can actually run after we hand the build over, not what looks good on a vendor sticker.

What's the smallest engagement you'd take on?

A two-week paid discovery for Tauranga businesses that aren't sure whether the build is worth doing at all. You get a one-page write-up of what we'd build, what we'd skip, and what it would cost. About 30% of those discoveries end with us recommending you don't proceed.

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.

Can it keep track of ACC levies?

Yes. ACC work levies are set by the classification unit your work falls under, and self-employed people are invoiced after filing their tax return.

Can it remind us about the annual return?

Yes. Every company must file an annual return with the Companies Office each year, separate from its tax return.
