Business automations in Wānaka.

Business automations that lives in your stack, not on a vendor's roadmap. Shipped from Otago.

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.

Knows the New Zealand rules.

Automations for the admin every employer repeats, like payday filing within 2 working days and KiwiSaver at 3.5 per cent.

  • Payday filing, every payday
  • KiwiSaver now 3.5 per cent
  • Holidays Act until August 2028

How much is the admin really costing you?

Nine hours a week of admin is 468 hours a year. That could drop to about 52.*

*Illustrative, based on 9 hours a week of admin at a typical 80% automation rate. The calculator uses your own numbers.

From one-person trades to national organisations, we find the hours :)

Quotes with GST, consent paperwork, LBP records and health and safety logs: the admin every New Zealand trade business carries.

Good questions, answered

Anyone else in this space using business automations?

Plenty. Average client recovers 12 hours/week within the first 60 days. The interesting question is rarely "does it work" - it's "is your team ready to use the output." That's what we'd scope on the call.

What's the smallest engagement you'd take on?

A two-week paid discovery for Wānaka businesses that aren't sure whether the build is worth doing at all. You get a one-page write-up of what we'd build, what we'd skip, and what it would cost. About 30% of those discoveries end with us recommending you don't proceed.

What if our Wānaka doesn't have any data ready?

Most don't. Getting the data into shape - ingestion, cleaning, the lightweight contracts you need before any model is useful - is part of the engagement. For business automations specifically, we typically run that work on n8n, Make, Zapier, Vercel Functions, Cloudflare Workers and assume messy starting conditions from day one.

Do you work with Xero?

Yes. Xero is one of the systems we build around, and we connect to the other tools you already run rather than asking you to switch.

Can it keep track of ACC levies?

Yes. ACC work levies are set by the classification unit your work falls under, and self-employed people are invoiced after filing their tax return.
