AI efficiency audit for optometrists.
For optometry practices who want results in weeks, not a year-long transformation programme.
Eye test recalls, bookings and patient messages handled automatically, with patient information protected under the Privacy Act 2020.
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.
*Illustrative example based on nine hours a week of admin. Actual results vary by workflow and business.
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.
The two or three things that decide whether this works for optometry practices.
Optometrists balance eye tests, recalls, and frame sales, with recall reminders often the first thing to slip.
Recall reminders and insurance or funding queries are the recurring admin load behind every optometry front desk.
Knows the New Zealand rules.
We find the admin that repeats every week, like payday filing and GST returns, and automate that first so the hours come back fastest.
- Payday filing, every payday
- GST at 15 per cent
- Serious breaches get reported
Less admin.
More weekend.
No theatre.

Good questions, answered
Is AI efficiency audit worth it for a smaller optometry practice?
Often, yes - and counterintuitively the ROI is sometimes faster than for the big end of town because there's less integration overhead. We'll tell you honestly on the scoping call if it isn't.
What's the realistic timeline for AI efficiency audit with an optometry practice?
Most optometry practices have their first usable slice in week 5 or 6. We'd rather ship narrow and real than broad and aspirational - your team gets to use the thing well before the engagement is "done".
What happens if we want to swap a vendor out later?
AI efficiency audit is built behind a small adapter layer specifically so swapping a model provider or a data source is a one-day job, not a re-architecture. Claude, Notion, Loom, Linear, Vercel are our defaults, but the build is intentionally portable.
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.
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.
