Digital transformation in Whangārei.
A transformation that cannot show a result in ninety days is a reorganisation wearing a technology costume.
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.
Whangārei moves timber out and fuel in through Marsden Point. We automate the dispatch records, contractor paperwork and invoicing for the firms that keep it running.
Business in Whangārei.
Northport at Marsden Point is New Zealand's northernmost deep-water port and mostly exports logs, woodchip and timber, while Channel Infrastructure's Marsden Point terminal imports fuel for Auckland and Northland.
Auckland and Northland make up about 40 per cent of New Zealand's fuel demand, supplied through the Marsden Point terminal.
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.

Definitely not a typical AI agency.
*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.
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
Straight answers
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 Whangārei business?
Northland is geographically wide and connectivity-thin - AI here means tools that work in a ute with patchy signal. We scope one workflow, ship it to production, and prove the return before expanding.
What happens when the Holidays Act is replaced?
The Employment Leave Act 2026 replaces it on 6 August 2028. Until then payroll follows the current Holidays Act, so leave calculations need to handle today's rules and the changeover.
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.
