AI strategy for cleaning companies.
For cleaning companies who want results in weeks, not a year-long transformation programme.
The shape of every cleaning companie brief we've seen.
Cleaning businesses run on recurring contracts and one-off quotes, both of which need fast, consistent follow-up to win.
Quote turnaround and scheduling reliability are what most decide whether a cleaning company keeps a client past the first job.
Quotes with GST, rosters and payday filing for a spread-out team, handled without the Sunday night spreadsheet.
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.
Small crew or big organisation, the busywork is the same :)
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.
Built around how New Zealand works.
We map the recurring New Zealand admin in your week, like GST, payday filing and ACC levies, and pick the one to automate first.
- GST at 15 per cent
- Payday filing, every payday
- ACC levies set by industry
One workflow.
In production.
In weeks.

Good questions, answered
What's the realistic outcome for cleaning companies?
Most plans pay for themselves in the first build. We don't promise tenfold lifts because we don't see them outside of marketing decks.
What's the smallest engagement you'd take on?
A two-week paid discovery for cleaning companies that aren't sure whether the build is worth doing at all. You get a one-page write-up of what we'd build, what we'd skip, and what it would cost. About 30% of those discoveries end with us recommending you don't proceed.
How quickly can we see something running?
Week three for a clickable internal demo against real data. Week six for a slice your team can actually use. We hold ourselves to those numbers because they're what stops a project drifting into "endless discovery".
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 reminders follow the new WoF rules?
They need to. From 1 November 2026 many light vehicles aged 4 to 14 years move to a WoF every two years, and new vehicles get their second WoF at 4 years.
