We've worked with enough operators in Timaru to know that the brief that arrives in our inbox is rarely the brief that ends up shipped. The first thing we do on any voice AI agents project is sit with your team for a day before we propose anything.

Where Timaru operators actually lose hours.
- South Canterbury runs on port logistics, food processing, and dairy – AI here is about coordinating shifts and shipments with fewer phone calls.

How we build voice AI agents 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. AI phone agents.

Questions
FAQ
What's a typical engagement length for Timaru businesses?
Six to twelve weeks for the build, then a short managed-services month while the system goes from "shipped" to "owned by your team". After that you keep us on retainer if you want, or take it from there yourself.
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 you walk us through a comparable build?
Yes – on the first call we'll pick the closest engagement we've shipped to what you're describing and walk through the outcome, the headcount and the time it took. 42% of after-hours calls now booked without human input.
Can you work with our existing systems?
Yes. The default voice AI agents stack we reach for is Vapi, Retell, Twilio, OpenAI Realtime, 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.
Worth a conversation?
Even if you don't end up working with us, you'll leave the call knowing what's worth building.
