Digital transformation in Wānaka.
A transformation that cannot show a result in ninety days is a reorganisation wearing a technology costume.
Business in Wānaka.
Wānaka's visitor economy centres on its lakes, mountains and ski areas, Cardrona, Treble Cone and Snow Farm, which operate from June to October.
Lake Wanaka Tourism has more than 450 member businesses. Ski areas operate from June to October.
Wānaka businesses gear up for ski season from June, then summer visitors. We automate rostering, bookings and guest messages so small teams handle big weeks.
What digital transformation means here
The unglamorous version: find the one workflow costing the most time or the most leads, ship it to production, prove the return, then expand. No multi year programme, no platform nobody asked for.
- Start with the workflow that is actually bleeding, not the org chart
- Ship to production inside a quarter, not a roadmap
- Measure in hours given back and dollars saved
- Leave the team able to run it without us
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.
*Illustrative example based on nine hours a week of admin. Actual results vary by workflow and business.
Definitely not a typical AI agency.
*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.
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.*

Good questions, answered
Do you actually work on digital transformation?
The unglamorous version: find the one workflow costing the most time or the most leads, ship it to production, prove the return, then expand. No multi year programme, no platform nobody asked for.
Is this a talk or a build?
Both, depending on what you need. We speak on digital transformation, and we build the systems behind it. The advice is the same either way, and it is free of charge until there is a scope to quote.
What does this look like for a Wānaka business?
Wānaka has the boom-and-shoulder rhythm of a lifestyle town - AI here helps small teams handle big seasonal swings without burning out. We scope one workflow, ship it to production, and prove the return before expanding.
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 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.
