Data-driven decision making in Dunedin.
A dashboard is where a decision goes to wait. The useful version reaches the person while they can still act.
Dunedin runs on health, education and professional services, where every hour lost to paperwork is an hour away from students, patients and clients. We give it back.
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.
What data-driven decision making means here
Most businesses do not have a data problem, they have an action problem: the number exists, nobody sees it in time, and nothing happens. We close the gap between the number and the decision.
- One number per decision, in front of the person who makes it
- Alerts on the change, not a dashboard nobody opens
- Ask the database in plain English and get a sourced answer
- Decisions logged, so you can tell later whether the call was right
Dunedin, up close.
Dunedin's economy is led by healthcare and social assistance, education and training, and professional, scientific and technical services, and the University of Otago contributes about 15 per cent of the city's GDP.
The University of Otago supports about 9 per cent of Dunedin's workforce. Otago Anniversary Day falls on on or near 23 March.
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.

Straight answers
Where do you start?
With the workflow costing the most time or the most leads. A dashboard is where a decision goes to wait. The useful version reaches the person while they can still act.
What does this look like for a Dunedin business?
Dunedin pairs a strong university research culture with practical southern businesses. AI here means proven tools, not hype. We scope one workflow, ship it to production, and prove the return before expanding.
Do you actually work on data-driven decision making?
Most businesses do not have a data problem, they have an action problem: the number exists, nobody sees it in time, and nothing happens. We close the gap between the number and the decision.
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.
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.
