AI demand forecasting for plumbers.
AI sales + stock forecasting, built around how a plumbing business actually works.
What AI demand forecasting actually does
Forecasts that account for school holidays, NZ weather, tourist seasons, and your own promo calendar. 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.
Quotes with GST shown correctly, job sheets and invoices done from the van, so evenings are not spent on paperwork.
How Kiwi Dynamics works
We find the one workflow costing plumbing businesses the most hours, ship a working slice into production in weeks, prove it pays for itself, then harden it and hand it over.
Not your typical AI agency.
*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.
What years of building for plumbing businesses taught us.
Plumbers lose jobs to whoever answers the phone first, and most calls come in while they're already under a sink.
Missed calls, slow quotes, and unchased invoices are the three leaks that cost plumbing businesses the most money.
The shape of the result for plumbing businesses: Stockouts down 35%, overstock down 22% in the first season. Built on Prophet, hardened with the rest of the stack as it scales. Kiwi Dynamics
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.

Straight answers
Anyone else in this space using AI demand forecasting?
Plenty. Stockouts down 35%, overstock down 22% in the first season. The interesting question is rarely "does it work" - it's "is your team ready to use the output." That's what we'd scope on the call.
How do you price AI demand forecasting engagements?
Fixed-scope pilots first, then either project pricing or a small monthly retainer for the ongoing work. No long lock-ins, no 18-month black-box deals. Most plumbing businesses are surprised how small the first cheque is.
How long does AI demand forecasting take to ship for plumbing businesses?
We aim for a working pilot inside 4-6 weeks - narrow scope, real plumbing businesses data, measurable outcome. From there it's another 6-8 weeks of hardening before you'd consider it production. Full rollouts (multiple sites, multiple teams) typically land in 3-4 months.
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.
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.
