AI strategy for veterinarians.
Built for the veterinarian who's already tried the off-the-shelf option and bounced off it.
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.*
*Illustrative, based on 9 hours a week of admin at a typical 80% automation rate. The calculator uses your own numbers.
Bookings, reminders and clinical notes handled by AI, with client records protected under the Privacy Act 2020.
Small crew or big organisation, the busywork is the same :)
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.
Knows the New Zealand rules.
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.
What AI strategy covers
Most plans pay for themselves in the first build.
- On-site discovery with the people doing the work
- Ranked initiatives with ROI, effort, and risk
- Tool selection - not married to any vendor
- Phased 90-day plan you can execute or hand off
- No annual contracts
- No AI theatre
The two or three things that decide whether this works for veterinarians.
Vet clinics run on bookings, recalls, and after-hours emergency calls, with a small front-desk team trying to do all three at once.
Between surgery schedules, vaccine recalls, and owners calling mid-panic, the phone and the inbox are where clinics lose the most time.
Good questions, answered
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".
What's the smallest engagement you'd take on?
A two-week paid discovery for veterinarians 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.
Anyone else in this space using AI strategy?
Plenty. Most plans pay for themselves in the first build. 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.
What does the Privacy Act 2020 mean for AI?
The same rules apply as for any system holding personal information. A breach that could cause serious harm must be reported to the Privacy Commissioner, who expects it within 72 hours.
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.
