AI strategy in Tauranga.
AI roadmap + plan - wired into a Tauranga workflow, not bolted on the side.
What AI strategy actually does
A clear-eyed AI roadmap built for your business - not a generic deck. 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.
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.
Definitely not a typical AI agency.
*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.
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.
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.

One workflow.
In production.
In weeks.
What you get
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.
- On-site discovery with the people doing the work
- Ranked initiatives with ROI, effort, and risk

- Phased 90-day plan you can execute or hand off
- No shelfware or licences you do not use
- No annual contracts
Already buried in admin? We'll sort the first workflow for you :)
Nine hours a week of admin is 468 hours a year. That could drop to about 52.*
*Illustrative, based on 9 hours a week of admin at a typical 80% automation rate. The calculator uses your own numbers.
Good questions, answered
What does AI strategy cost for a Tauranga?
Pilots start from a fixed scope priced to land a measurable result inside 6 weeks. Pricing depends on data volume, integration complexity, and whether you need us on managed services afterwards. We'll quote precisely after a 30-minute scoping call.
How fast could we have AI strategy in production?
Eight to ten weeks for most Tauranga businesses. Faster if your data is in good shape and slower if we're untangling a legacy integration first. We'll give you a realistic number on the scoping call rather than the optimistic one.
Anyone else in this space using AI strategy?
Plenty. Most plans pay for themselves in the first build. 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.
Do you work with Xero?
Yes. Xero is one of the systems we build around, and we connect to the other tools you already run rather than asking you to switch.
Can AI help with payday filing?
It can prepare it. Employers file employment information every payday, within 2 working days when filing electronically, and automation can have it ready for a person to check.
