App developers in Wellington.
Built and supported here - the way a Wellington business would actually use it.
Wellington, up close.
Wellington is home to New Zealand's public sector, which makes up 17 per cent of the city's workforce, alongside tech and fintech, gaming, screen, and food and beverage.
Wellington is a UNESCO City of Film, known for its post-production work. Wellington Anniversary Day falls on on or near 22 January.
Wellington runs on government, tech and screen, and most of that work runs on documents. We build AI that reads, drafts and files them, on New Zealand infrastructure.
Made for New Zealand paperwork.
Apps in New Zealand English that keep working on patchy rural coverage, with personal information handled under the Privacy Act 2020.
- Serious breaches get reported
- Personal data sent offshore
- ACC levies set by industry
Small crew or big organisation, the busywork is the same :)
Quotes with GST, consent paperwork, LBP records and health and safety logs: the admin every New Zealand trade business carries.
*Illustrative example based on nine hours a week of admin. Actual results vary by workflow and business.
Small team.
Real systems.
Zero fluff.
What you get
What changes for Wellington teams after this lands: the work that used to need a person stays done, the work that needs a person gets done with their attention undivided.
- iOS, Android and web from one team, on one codebase where it fits
- Backend, database and admin screens built alongside the app
- App Store and Google Play releases handled for you
- Screens designed with your staff and customers before code is written
- No annual contracts
- No shelfware or licences you do not use
How the work runs
We find the one workflow costing Wellington businesses the most hours, ship a working slice into production in weeks, prove it pays for itself, then harden it and hand it over.
Definitely not a typical AI agency.
*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.
Straight answers
Do you have proof this works for Wellington businesses?
Direct case study: You get a working build on your own phone early in the project, so decisions are made on the real app rather than on slides. Happy to walk you through full numbers on a call.
When does app development actually pay back?
Inside the first quarter, in our experience. We pick the first slice specifically because it's the highest-leverage workflow for a Wellington - so the savings start landing before the rest of the build is finished.
Will this run on our own infrastructure?
Yes, where it makes sense. App development can sit entirely in your cloud account, with model calls routed through endpoints you control. We default to Expo, React Native, Swift, Kotlin, Next.js, Postgres but the architecture supports your existing platform choices.
What does the Privacy Act 2020 mean for AI?
The same rules apply as for any system holding personal information. A breach that could cause serious harm must be reported to the Privacy Commissioner, who expects it within 72 hours.
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.
