Business Automation for NZ Teams
Stop copying data between your CRM, inbox and Xero. We link your tools with n8n workflow automation and APIs, then add AI for the dull jobs.
Workflow Automation That Fits Your Business
We connect your CRM, accounting and business tools so your team stops typing the same thing twice. Then we add AI where it helps, like sorting enquiries or writing a first draft of a reply.
n8n Workflow Automation
We build n8n workflows that move data between your apps for you. New enquiries reach your CRM, invoices reach Xero and reminders go out on time.
n8n automation services →API Integration
Custom links between systems that don't talk to each other yet. Two-way sync, retries when a service is down and an alert if something fails.
API integration services →AI Automation
AI steps that sort your inbox, qualify new leads and draft follow-up emails. A person still checks anything important before it goes out.
AI workflows in n8n →Online Store Integrations
Shopify and WooCommerce linked to Xero, your POS, warehouse stock and courier labels, so orders flow through without retyping.
Node.js store integrations →Reporting Dashboards
One screen that pulls sales, jobs and stock from your systems. You see how the week is going without opening five tabs.

Still Copying Data Between Your CRM, Email and Xero?
Here's a week we hear about a lot. An enquiry comes in by email. Someone types it into the CRM. Later they copy the job into a spreadsheet, then into Xero as an invoice. Each step takes a few minutes, and it adds up to hours.
The real cost isn't only time. Leads go cold because nobody followed up on Friday. The CRM is half out of date. And the business can't grow without hiring more admin help.
- A tradie's quote form could land in the CRM and send a thank-you text straight away.
- A caterer's confirmed booking could create the Xero invoice and a reminder for the deposit.
- A parts supplier's trade orders could update stock and book the courier.
These are the jobs our custom API integrations and n8n workflows take off your plate.
n8n, a Custom Integration or Both?
- You want office jobs to run on their own. Start with n8n workflows for small business. They run when a form comes in, an invoice is paid or the clock hits 8am, and you can see the history of every run.
- Two systems need to stay in sync all day. A two-way API integration built in Node.js handles high volumes, retries and error alerts.
- You want to see the numbers in one place. We build a custom React dashboard that reads from your systems, so you don't have to log in to each one.

Start With One Workflow, Not a Big Project
Automation can sound like a huge change. It doesn't need to be. We ask one question first: which job do you dread doing every week?
We automate that one job, test it with real data and hand it over. You see the hours come back before you spend more. Then we pick the next job, if you want one.
This suits owner-led businesses and non-profits run by volunteers. A single workflow that sends receipts or logs new members can save a lot of evenings. Want to learn more first? Our plain-English web and automation guides are a good place to start.
We Work With the Tools You Already Pay For
You don't need new software to automate. We connect what you already run, including your own ordering portal or custom system. If your website needs care too, our website management team can look after it.

Get Your Evenings Back From Admin
In a lot of small businesses, the admin all lands on the owner. Invoices get done late at night. Follow-ups wait until the weekend.
Once the busywork runs by itself, the day looks different:
- New leads get a reply within minutes, even when you're on a job.
- Paid invoices update the CRM, so your team sees the real status.
- A short summary of the day's sales and bookings lands in your inbox.
- If a workflow fails, an alert goes out so it gets fixed quickly.
