Most of our Waiheke Island engagements start the same way: a 20-minute call where the owner describes a workflow we've heard before in shape but never in detail. AI demand forecasting is then designed against the detail, not the shape.

The Waiheke Island context, plainly.
- Waiheke is wine, hospitality, and high-touch tourism – AI here handles the spike when the ferry lands.
- Cellar doors, restaurants, accommodation, and the trades that maintain it all. AI tools that handle bookings and reviews quietly are gold.
We work with teams across Waiheke Island: Oneroa · Onetangi · Palm Beach · Surfdale · Ostend.

How we build AI demand forecasting for a Waiheke Island team.
We scope narrow, ship a working pilot, then harden it into production. The first slice is the highest-leverage workflow for your Waiheke Island business, so value lands before the build is finished. AI sales + stock forecasting.

Questions
FAQ
What's a typical engagement length for Waiheke Island 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. Stockouts down 35%, overstock down 22% in the first season.
Can you work with our existing systems?
Yes. The default AI demand forecasting stack we reach for is Prophet, DuckDB, Claude, BigQuery, Vercel, 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.
The honest version of a sales call.
No deck. No discovery doc. Just whether this is worth building and what it would cost.
