The version of AI outreach that works for a Timaru business is rarely the version a national vendor would sell you. We build the one that fits how your team actually operates – usually with fewer parts than the off-the-shelf pitch.
Canterbury · Applied AI
For Timaru operators who want a working pilot in weeks, not a year-long programme.
What AI outreach actually does
Multi-channel outreach run by an AI agent — email, LinkedIn, SMS — that reads like a real person who's actually done their homework. Built for teams who want top-of-funnel growth without burning a BDR on busywork.
- 01 Channel mix tuned per persona — email-first, LinkedIn-first, or both
- 02 Reads each prospect's site, LinkedIn, recent posts before writing
- 03 Real conversation threading — replies feel continuous, not robotic
- 04 Compliance baked in: NZ Spam Act + global unsubscribe handling
Built on: Claude for message generation LinkedIn / Smartlead / Instantly for delivery Apollo + Clay for enrichment Custom guardrails for tone and compliance
Canterbury
The Timaru context, plainly.
- South Canterbury runs on port logistics, food processing, and dairy – AI here is about coordinating shifts and shipments with fewer phone calls.
- Port of Timaru, food processors, dairy, and a wide trades sector. AI tools that integrate with existing ERP and POS land best.
We work with teams across Timaru: Timaru CBD · Marchwiel · Highfield · Geraldine · Temuka · Pleasant Point.
Talk to us about this →How we build AI outreach for a Timaru team.
We scope narrow, ship a working pilot, then harden it into production. The first slice is the highest-leverage workflow for your Timaru business, so value lands before the build is finished. Outreach at human quality, machine scale.
Talk to usThe outcome for Timaru teams
What changes for Timaru 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. Replaced a 3-person outreach team for an NZ infrastructure consultancy — 5× the volume, same close rate.
Not your typical AI agency.

Questions
FAQ
When does AI outreach 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.
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.
Has this actually shipped for a real Timaru?
Yes. Replaced a 3-person outreach team for an NZ infrastructure consultancy — 5× the volume, same close rate. We'll share comparable engagements on the call.
Will this run on our own infrastructure?
Yes, where it makes sense. AI outreach can sit entirely in your cloud account, with model calls routed through endpoints you control. We default to Claude for message generation, LinkedIn / Smartlead / Instantly for delivery, Apollo + Clay for enrichment, Custom guardrails for tone and compliance but the architecture supports your existing platform choices.
The honest version of a sales call.
No deck. No discovery doc. Just whether this is worth building and what it would cost.
