Mobile app development in Whakatāne.
Mobile apps that lives in your stack, not on a vendor's roadmap. Shipped from Bay of Plenty.
Dairy, kiwifruit, forestry and manufacturing keep the Eastern Bay busy. We automate the rosters, supplier invoices and compliance records that pile up at harvest.
Already buried in admin? We'll sort the first workflow for 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.
Made for New Zealand paperwork.
Mobile apps that keep working with patchy coverage and sync later, built for crews working outside the main centres.
- GST at 15 per cent
- An annual return every year
- KiwiSaver now 3.5 per cent
Whakatāne, up close.
The Rangitāiki Plains support intensive dairy farming and horticulture including kiwifruit, avocados and citrus, forestry is a major industry, and manufacturing remains a cornerstone of the district.
The Whakatāne District is widely known as one of New Zealand's food baskets. Kiwifruit picking and packhouse work run from about March to mid-June.
On the tools or running at scale, the admin still eats the week :)
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.

More weekend.

Questions Whakatāne businesses ask
What if our Whakatāne 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 mobile apps specifically, we typically run that work on React Native, Expo, Swift, Kotlin, Supabase, Cloudflare Workers and assume messy starting conditions from day one.
What's the realistic outcome for Whakatāne businesses?
Most first releases are in the stores inside 8 weeks, not 8 months. We don't promise tenfold lifts because we don't see them outside of marketing decks.
How fast could we have mobile apps in production?
Eight to ten weeks for most Whakatāne businesses. Faster if your data is in good shape and slower if we're untangling a legacy integration first. We'll give you a realistic number on the scoping call rather than the optimistic one.
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.
Can AI help with payday filing?
It can prepare it. Employers file employment information every payday, within 2 working days when filing electronically, and automation can have it ready for a person to check.
