AI demand forecasting in Whangārei.
AI sales + stock forecasting, built for businesses operating in Whangārei.
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.
From one-person trades to national organisations, we find the hours :)
The questions a public sector buyer asks, answered up front: privacy impact, the NZISM, where the data lives and how an algorithm is held to account.
*Illustrative example based on nine hours a week of admin. Actual results vary by workflow and business.
How the work runs
We find the one workflow costing Whangārei businesses the most hours, ship a working slice into production in weeks, prove it pays for itself, then harden it and hand it over.
What Whangārei runs on.
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.
Knows the New Zealand rules.

Straight answers
Do you have proof this works for Whangārei businesses?
Direct case study: Stockouts down 35%, overstock down 22% in the first season. Happy to walk you through full numbers on a call.
When does AI demand forecasting 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 Whangārei - 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. AI demand forecasting can sit entirely in your cloud account, with model calls routed through endpoints you control. We default to Prophet, DuckDB, Claude, BigQuery, Vercel but the architecture supports your existing platform choices.
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.
Does it keep up with KiwiSaver changes?
It has to. The minimum employer contribution rose to 3.5 per cent on 1 April 2026 and rises to 4 per cent on 1 April 2028.
