The future of work in Rotorua.
The realistic near term win is not fewer people, it is the same people not doing eleven hours of admin a week.
Rotorua runs on forestry, wood processing and one of the country's busiest visitor economies. We build AI that handles bookings, timber orders and the reporting behind both.
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
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.
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.

Good questions, answered
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.
Does scheduling handle public holidays?
It should. New Zealand has 11 national public holidays, including Matariki, plus a regional anniversary day that depends on where your business is.
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.
