Web3 and blockchain in Kaikōura.
The interesting question is never whether it can be on chain, it is whether being on chain earns its cost.
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.
Kaikōura welcomes around a million visitors a year. We automate bookings, enquiries and reviews so small teams keep up with big seasons.
On the tools or running at scale, the admin still eats the week :)
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.
What Kaikōura runs on.
Tourism, directly and indirectly, is the major contributor to Kaikōura's GDP, built on whales, the coastline and crayfish, alongside the district's fishing and farming heritage.
A deep undersea canyon brings Giant Sperm Whales close to the coast, and Whale Watch has run since 1987.
What web3 and blockchain means here
Blockchain, smart contracts, tokenisation, DAOs, DeFi and decentralised identity. We build the parts that hold up under audit, and say plainly when a database would do the job better.
- Smart contract design and review before anything holds value
- Tokenisation of real assets, with the custody question answered first
- Decentralised identity (DID and SSID) for verifiable credentials
- Honest advice on when a distributed ledger is the wrong tool
Questions Kaikōura businesses ask
Do you actually work on web3 and blockchain?
Blockchain, smart contracts, tokenisation, DAOs, DeFi and decentralised identity. We build the parts that hold up under audit, and say plainly when a database would do the job better.
Is this a talk or a build?
Both, depending on what you need. We speak on web3 and blockchain, 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 interesting question is never whether it can be on chain, it is whether being on chain earns its cost.
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.
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.
