Business Process Automation
for NZ Businesses

Stop paying people to do work that software can do. We automate the repetitive tasks across your business — lead follow-up, invoicing, reporting, internal notifications — so your team focuses on work that actually matters.

Sound familiar?

These are the most common signs your business is ready for automation — and costing you more than you realise by staying manual.

Copying data manually between your CRM, email, and accounting software

Chasing overdue invoices or following up leads that go cold

Sending the same emails and reminders repeatedly by hand

Pulling together weekly reports from multiple disconnected tools

Staff spending hours on admin that adds no real business value

Errors from double-entry and processes that rely on memory

What we automate for NZ businesses

We use tools like Zapier, Make, and custom API integrations to connect your existing software and remove the manual steps between them.

Lead Capture & Follow-Up

Every new enquiry from your website, ads, or email is automatically added to your CRM, followed up with a personalised message, and assigned to the right person — within seconds.

Common questions about business automation

How much does business automation cost in New Zealand?

Most business automation projects are fixed-scope and fixed-price. Simple workflow automations (connecting two or three tools via Zapier or Make) can start from a few thousand dollars. Full custom automation builds — covering lead capture, invoicing, internal notifications, and reporting — typically range from $8,000 to $30,000 NZD depending on complexity. We give you a fixed price before any work starts.

What business processes can you automate?

Common automations for NZ businesses include: lead follow-up from website enquiries, invoice creation when a job is completed, payment reminders for overdue invoices, internal notifications when deals progress, data sync between your CRM, accounting (Xero, MYOB), and project management tools, and automated weekly reporting. If a task happens on a regular basis and follows a consistent pattern, it can almost certainly be automated.

Do we need to replace our existing software?

In most cases, no. We work with the tools you already use — Xero, HubSpot, GoHighLevel, Shopify, Google Workspace, and others — and connect them together using automation. Replacing existing software is only recommended when a tool is genuinely blocking the automation you need.

How long does a typical automation project take?

A focused workflow automation (such as connecting your CRM to Xero for automatic invoice creation) typically takes 2–4 weeks from scope to go-live. Full operational platform builds run 8–12 weeks. We give you a fixed timeline upfront and deliver on it.

Can you integrate with Xero, HubSpot, Salesforce, and other NZ business tools?

Yes. We regularly integrate with Xero, MYOB, HubSpot, Salesforce, GoHighLevel, Zoho, Shopify, WooCommerce, Zapier, Make, Calendly, Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Slack, and most other tools with an API. If you are unsure whether your software can be connected, ask us — the answer is usually yes.

What ongoing support do you provide?

After go-live, we offer optional monthly support plans to monitor automations, add new workflows, and keep integrations current as your tools update. If you prefer, we hand over completely with full documentation and a training session — there is no lock-in either way.
