The future of work in Motueka.
The realistic near term win is not fewer people, it is the same people not doing eleven hours of admin a week.
When picking starts, Motueka growers take on hundreds of seasonal workers. We automate onboarding, timesheets and payday filing so harvest is not buried in forms.
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.
What Motueka runs on.
Motueka is a horticulture hub that hosts hundreds of seasonal workers at harvest, and horticulture and fruit growing is the Tasman District's biggest export industry.
Motueka is also the name of a hop variety grown in the district. Harvest brings hundreds of seasonal workers for fruit crops and hops.
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.

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
An AI agency, minus the theatre.
*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.
Questions Motueka businesses ask
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.
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.
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.
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.
Is our data kept in New Zealand?
Kiwi Dynamics hosts its own infrastructure in New Zealand, under New Zealand governance. If personal information ever has to go offshore, privacy principle 12 requires comparable protection.
