Custom software development for landscapers.
Landscaping businesses-grade custom software development, shipped by people who've done it before.
Where landscaping businesses actually lose hours and dollars.
Landscapers quote big jobs from a site visit and small jobs from a phone call, and both processes usually run on paper.
Seasonal demand and slow quoting are the two things that most limit how much work a landscaping business can take on.
Site visits turned into quotes with GST at 15 per cent, plus rosters and invoices handled so the busy months stay outdoors.
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.

Knows the New Zealand rules.
Business systems wired into the tools New Zealand organisations already run, like Xero, so data is entered once and stays consistent.

- GST at 15 per cent
- Job management built in New Zealand
The shape of the result for landscaping businesses: We map the process with the people who do the work first, then build the smallest system that replaces the spreadsheet. Built on TypeScript, hardened with the rest of the stack as it scales. Kiwi Dynamics
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.*

Questions landscaping businesses ask
What's the realistic timeline for custom software development with a landscaping business?
Most landscaping businesses 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".
Anyone else in this space using custom software development?
Plenty. We map the process with the people who do the work first, then build the smallest system that replaces the spreadsheet. 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 happens if we want to swap a vendor out later?
Custom software development 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. TypeScript, Postgres, Next.js, Cloudflare, Xero API are our defaults, but the build is intentionally portable.
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.
Will quotes and invoices show GST properly?
Yes. GST is 15 per cent on most goods and services in New Zealand, and anything we build that prices work shows it the way your accounts need.
