Questions Waiheke Island businesses ask
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. Cuts data-entry labour by 80% on invoices, POs, and timesheets.
Will this run on our own infrastructure?
Yes, where it makes sense. AI document processing can sit entirely in your cloud account, with model calls routed through endpoints you control. We default to Claude Vision, AWS Textract, Mistral OCR, Vercel but the architecture supports your existing platform choices.
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.
What happens when the Holidays Act is replaced?
The Employment Leave Act 2026 replaces it on 6 August 2028. Until then payroll follows the current Holidays Act, so leave calculations need to handle today's rules and the changeover.
