How it works in Wānaka

We find the one workflow costing Wānaka businesses the most hours, ship a working slice into production in weeks, prove it pays for itself, then harden it and hand it over.

To start, tell us about your week

Wānaka businesses gear up for ski season from June, then summer visitors. We automate rostering, bookings and guest messages so small teams handle big weeks.

Questions Wānaka businesses ask

How quickly can we see something running?

Week three for a clickable internal demo against real data. Week six for a slice your team can actually use. We hold ourselves to those numbers because they're what stops a project drifting into "endless discovery".

What tools do you build AI document processing on?

For AI document processing we usually reach for Claude Vision, AWS Textract, Mistral OCR, Vercel. We're tool-agnostic at heart - we pick what your Wānaka team can actually run after we hand the build over, not what looks good on a vendor sticker.

What's the realistic outcome for Wānaka businesses?

Cuts data-entry labour by 80% on invoices, POs, and timesheets. We don't promise tenfold lifts because we don't see them outside of marketing decks.

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.

Can the AI run on New Zealand-hosted cloud?

Yes, the options now exist. Microsoft opened a New Zealand cloud region in December 2024 and AWS followed in September 2025, both with local data residency.
