Web3 and blockchain in Timaru.
The interesting question is never whether it can be on chain, it is whether being on chain earns its cost.
Timaru processes dairy, meat, vegetables and beer for export through PrimePort. We automate the shift rosters, supplier paperwork and reporting those plants run on.
How it works in Timaru
We find the one workflow costing Timaru businesses the most hours, ship a working slice into production in weeks, prove it pays for itself, then harden it and hand it over.
Built differently, on purpose.
*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.
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

Good questions, answered
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.
What does this look like for a Timaru business?
South Canterbury runs on port logistics, food processing, and dairy - AI here is about coordinating shifts and shipments with fewer phone calls. We scope one workflow, ship it to production, and prove the return before expanding.
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.
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 keep track of ACC levies?
Yes. ACC work levies are set by the classification unit your work falls under, and self-employed people are invoiced after filing their tax return.
