The future of work in Kerikeri.
The realistic near term win is not fewer people, it is the same people not doing eleven hours of admin a week.
Kerikeri, up close.
Kerikeri-Waipapa is the largest and fastest growing centre in the Far North, with a strong horticulture industry, and kiwifruit is Northland's largest and most valuable crop.
Kerikeri-Waipapa accounts for 26 per cent of all regional employment in horticulture. Kiwifruit picking and packhouse work run from about March to mid-June.
New kiwifruit orchards keep going in around Kerikeri, and every hectare adds rosters, compliance records and invoices. We build AI that keeps the paperwork in step.
What the future of work means here
Our goal is a three day weekend: compress the week by handing the repetitive work to systems that do it reliably, so people spend their hours on the part only a person can do.
- Automate the task, not the person's job
- Measure success in hours given back to the team
- Keep a human on every decision that affects a customer
- Train the team to run and change it themselves
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.

How it works in Kerikeri
We find the one workflow costing Kerikeri businesses the most hours, ship a working slice into production in weeks, prove it pays for itself, then harden it and hand it over.

Straight answers
Where do you start?
With the workflow costing the most time or the most leads. The realistic near term win is not fewer people, it is the same people not doing eleven hours of admin a week.
Do you actually work on the future of work?
Our goal is a three day weekend: compress the week by handing the repetitive work to systems that do it reliably, so people spend their hours on the part only a person can do.
Is this a talk or a build?
Both, depending on what you need. We speak on the future of work, 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.
Can it remind us about the annual return?
Yes. Every company must file an annual return with the Companies Office each year, separate from its tax return.
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.
