Web3 and blockchain in Waiheke Island.
The interesting question is never whether it can be on chain, it is whether being on chain earns its cost.
Waiheke fills up every summer with visitors heading for the vineyards and beaches. We automate bookings, enquiries and seasonal staff admin for the island's small teams.
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.
Business in Waiheke Island.
Tourism is an important part of the Waiheke economy, with visitors drawn to its beaches and boutique vineyards, and up to a quarter of adult summer residents work in tourism-related jobs.
Waiheke is a 35-minute ferry ride from Auckland's city centre. The island's population swells every summer with visitors.
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 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
Built differently, on purpose.
*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.
Questions Waiheke Island businesses ask
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.
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.
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.
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.
What happens when the Holidays Act is replaced?
The Employment Leave Act 2026 replaces it on 6 August 2028. Until then payroll follows the current Holidays Act, so leave calculations need to handle today's rules and the changeover.
