AI agents in Whangārei.
AI agents designed around the way a Whangārei team actually runs.
Whangārei moves timber out and fuel in through Marsden Point. We automate the dispatch records, contractor paperwork and invoicing for the firms that keep it running.
Whangārei, up close.
Northport at Marsden Point is New Zealand's northernmost deep-water port and mostly exports logs, woodchip and timber, while Channel Infrastructure's Marsden Point terminal imports fuel for Auckland and Northland.
Auckland and Northland make up about 40 per cent of New Zealand's fuel demand, supplied through the Marsden Point terminal.
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.

What AI agents actually do
Autonomous AI agents that don't just answer - they get things done. With the right workflow automated, nine hours of admin a week could drop to about one.*
*Illustrative example only, based on 9 hours a week of admin falling to about 1 hour a week. Actual results vary by workflow and business.
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.*

One workflow.
In production.
In weeks.

Built differently, on purpose.
*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.
Straight answers
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. Replaces 15+ hours of weekly back-office work per agent deployed.
What does AI agents cost for a Whangārei?
Pilots start from a fixed scope priced to land a measurable result inside 6 weeks. Pricing depends on data volume, integration complexity, and whether you need us on managed services afterwards. We'll quote precisely after a 30-minute scoping call.
What if our Whangārei 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 AI agents specifically, we typically run that work on Claude Agent SDK, OpenAI Agents, LangGraph, n8n, MCP and assume messy starting conditions from day one.
Does scheduling handle public holidays?
It should. New Zealand has 11 national public holidays, including Matariki, plus a regional anniversary day that depends on where your business is.
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.
