The future of work in Tauranga.
The realistic near term win is not fewer people, it is the same people not doing eleven hours of admin a week.
What Tauranga runs on.
The Port of Tauranga is New Zealand's largest export port, and forestry, kiwifruit and dairy make up almost 75 per cent of its exports.
Most of New Zealand's kiwifruit crop is exported through the Port of Tauranga. Kiwifruit picking and packhouse work run from about March to mid-June.
Tauranga ships the forestry, kiwifruit and dairy that fill New Zealand's export vessels. We automate the logistics paperwork, packhouse rosters and invoicing behind every container.
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 the work runs
We find the one workflow costing Tauranga businesses the most hours, ship a working slice into production in weeks, prove it pays for itself, then harden it and hand it over.
An AI agency, minus the theatre.
*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.
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.
*Illustrative example based on nine hours a week of admin. Actual results vary by workflow and business.
Straight answers
What does this look like for a Tauranga business?
Tauranga is one of NZ's fastest-growing cities - and with growth comes admin. AI here clears the backlog so teams can keep up. We scope one workflow, ship it to production, and prove the return before expanding.
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.
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 work with Xero?
Yes. Xero is one of the systems we build around, and we connect to the other tools you already run rather than asking you to switch.
Can AI help with payday filing?
It can prepare it. Employers file employment information every payday, within 2 working days when filing electronically, and automation can have it ready for a person to check.
