Business Automation for NZ Small Businesses

More than most people think. Common ones we automate for NZ businesses: sending invoices when a job is marked complete, following up on unpaid invoices, sending booking confirmations and reminders, requesting Google reviews after a service, onboarding new clients with a welcome email sequence, generating weekly performance reports, and moving leads through a CRM pipeline based on their actions. If you do the same thing more than twice a week, it can probably be automated.

No. We build the automations and hand them over so they just run in the background. You don't need to understand how Zapier or Make works — you just need to see the results. We also provide simple documentation so your team can pause or adjust things if needed, without needing us every time.

The most common tools we use are Make (formerly Integromat), Zapier, GoHighLevel, and n8n for self-hosted setups. The right tool depends on your budget and technical setup. We choose based on what's most reliable and cost-effective for your specific workflows — not what's most expensive.

Automation projects vary widely. A simple two-step automation (e.g., form submission triggers an email) might cost $300–$500 to set up. A full workflow overhaul covering multiple departments can run $2,000–$6,000. Most small NZ businesses we work with spend $800–$2,500 and recover that cost within the first month from time savings alone.

Automations can break when the connected apps update or change. We include 30 days of post-setup support, and we offer ongoing maintenance retainers for businesses that want someone watching over things. We also build with visibility in mind — every automation has logging so you can see if something's gone wrong, and we set up email alerts for failures.
