01Diagnose: outward and inward
The AIV visibility scan shows how customers and large language models find you; the AIM assessment maps which internal workflow is high-frequency, rule-clear, data-ready and mistake-recoverable. Both are free, and you leave with a concrete entry point.
02Pilot: one workflow, 2–4 weeks
Pick the highest-value flow among GTM lead-gen, CRM follow-up and finance reconciliation, and plug agents into the email, Teams, Slack, WeChat, Lark and ERP you already use. Acceptance criteria are written before work starts: a baseline, one or two hard metrics, and the human-review pass rate.
03Scale: three standard workflows
Once the pilot clears its numbers, expand across acquisition and nurturing, conversion and signing, collections and compliance. Twelve role agents with clear jobs, and a human checkpoint on every payment, contract and external commitment.
04Golden Flow: grow the flow only you have
The highest-value workflow lives inside your business model. Site timesheets (company-wide in 10 weeks), WeChat orders to SF Express labels (first production order in 90 days) and sales reconciliation (live in 11 days) are all recorded Golden Flows.

What do enterprise AI transformation services in New Zealand include, and how is that different from buying AI software?
Four steps: a free diagnosis (AI visibility plus implementation assessment), a 2–4 week single-workflow pilot, expansion across three standard workflows, and Golden Flow custom builds. The difference is that we don't sell software: 12 role agents plug into the email, Teams, Slack, WeChat, Lark and ERP you already run, delivery is by workflow and accepted by results, and we stay after launch. Buying software gets you a tool; a transformation service gets you a running process.
How much does AI transformation cost for an SME, and how soon do we see results?
Diagnosis and assessment are free. Delivery is then priced per workflow with a fixed scope; we publish no prices, and the formal quote follows the free diagnosis. On timing, a well-chosen pilot shows checkable numbers within 2–4 weeks (repeat-question absorption, document turnaround); complex scenarios expand workflow by workflow over 3–6 months. Eligible NZ businesses can apply for the MBIE AI Advisory Pilot, which co-funds 50% up to NZD 15,000.
Do we have to replace our ERP, CRM or Xero to transform with AI?
No, and in most cases you shouldn't. Replacement means downtime, migration and retraining everyone. Our rule is connect, don't replace: agents plug into the systems you already use and take over the repetition (transcribing, chasing, matching) while pricing, deals and payments stay human decisions.
Which workflow is the safest place to start?
One that is high-frequency, rule-clear, data-ready and mistake-recoverable. Leads going cold: start with GTM. Deals buried in group chats: start with CRM follow-up. Cash stuck in receivables: start with reconciliation and collections. Major negotiations and judgment-heavy work should never be the first pilot.
How do you handle data security and New Zealand Privacy Act compliance?
Purpose limitation and data minimisation come first: what can be left uncollected, de-identified or kept inside your boundary is agreed in writing. Agents read and write only within granted scope; high-impact decisions involving personal information get a human checkpoint, with logs and rollback paths. Controls scale with project risk and contract scope; see our Responsible AI page.
