Custom software development in Tauranga.
Business systems built for you, built for businesses operating in Tauranga.
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.
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.
On the tools or running at scale, the admin still eats the week :)
Quotes with GST, consent paperwork, LBP records and health and safety logs: the admin every New Zealand trade business carries.
*Illustrative example based on nine hours a week of admin. Actual results vary by workflow and business.
Knows the New Zealand rules.
Business systems wired into the tools New Zealand organisations already run, like Xero, so data is entered once and stays consistent.

- GST at 15 per cent
- 11 public holidays, plus yours
If we build the right slice first, Tauranga teams feel the difference inside the first month. We map the process with the people who do the work first, then build the smallest system that replaces the spreadsheet. Kiwi Dynamics
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.
Straight answers
Can you work with our existing systems?
Yes. The default custom software development stack we reach for is TypeScript, Postgres, Next.js, Cloudflare, Xero API, but we'll bend it around whatever you already run - Xero, HubSpot, Shopify, Cin7, your own in-house apps. The discovery week maps every data source before any build starts.
Anyone else in this space using custom software development?
Plenty. We map the process with the people who do the work first, then build the smallest system that replaces the spreadsheet. 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 do hourly billing or fixed price?
Fixed price for the pilot, every time. After that it's your call - fixed price per milestone or a small monthly retainer for ongoing iteration. We don't run open-ended T&M because it disincentivises us from finishing.
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.
