AI efficiency audit in Timaru.
For Timaru operators who want a working pilot in weeks, not a year-long programme.
Timaru processes dairy, meat, vegetables and beer for export through PrimePort. We automate the shift rosters, supplier paperwork and reporting those plants run on.
Timaru, up close.
Food and fibre drive South Canterbury, and PrimePort handled $1.1 billion of exports in 2021, 99 per cent of them food and fibre products.
Fonterra's Clandeboye dairy factory and McCain's food processing plant are both in the district. Dominion Day (South Canterbury Anniversary) falls on the fourth Monday in September.
What AI efficiency audit actually does
A two-week audit that maps your team's actual time spend, finds the 5 highest-leverage AI plays, and ships the first one. 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.
How Kiwi Dynamics works
We find the one workflow costing Timaru businesses the most hours, ship a working slice into production in weeks, prove it pays for itself, then harden it and hand it over.
The shape of the result for Timaru teams: Average pilot saves 8 hours/week within 30 days of launch. Built on Claude, hardened with the rest of the stack as it scales. Kiwi Dynamics
An AI agency, minus the theatre.
*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.
Small crew or big organisation, the busywork is the same :)
Quotes with GST, consent paperwork, LBP records and health and safety logs: the admin every New Zealand trade business carries.

Straight answers
How do you price AI efficiency audit 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 Timaru businesses are surprised how small the first cheque is.
Will this run on our own infrastructure?
Yes, where it makes sense. AI efficiency audit can sit entirely in your cloud account, with model calls routed through endpoints you control. We default to Claude, Notion, Loom, Linear, Vercel but the architecture supports your existing platform choices.
When does AI efficiency audit 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 Timaru - so the savings start landing before the rest of the build is finished.
Does scheduling handle public holidays?
It should. New Zealand has 11 national public holidays, including Matariki, plus a regional anniversary day that depends on where your business is.
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.
