One studio. The whole job.
Across IT, security, automation and web — so the work is handled end-to-end, and it actually fits together. Every engagement is a fixed-price project on the front, with a care retainer behind it.
Identity & Security Flagship
We manage your joiners, movers and leavers in Microsoft 365 — and prove access is right every month. Offboarding is a security control, so we run the lifecycle and the assurance as one.
The pain
- Leavers' accounts left enabled for weeks — security and compliance exposure
- Licences never reclaimed — real money wasted every month
- Movers keep old access on top of new — least-privilege quietly breaks
- Compliance, cyber-insurance and customer questionnaires you can't answer
- No audit trail — can't prove who had access, and when
What we deliver
- Standardised, role-based joiner / mover / leaver processes, automated against Microsoft Graph
- A baseline audit against Secure Score, the CIS M365 Benchmark and Essential Eight
- The cheap, high-impact fixes first — MFA gaps, legacy auth, admin sprawl, sharing settings
- A monthly access-assurance report you can hand to an auditor or insurer

Managed IT & Microsoft 365
Support, patching, licences and care on a retainer — handled before you notice. A named contact, not a queue.
The pain
- "We have Microsoft, so we're fine" — with no idea of the actual exposure
- Reactive, ticket-by-ticket IT with no one looking ahead
- Licences and admin sprawl nobody owns
- No clear record of what was done, or what it cost
What we deliver
- Proactive support, patching and licence management on a retainer
- A named contact who knows your setup — not a faceless queue
- Posture kept current against recognised baselines
- A monthly report that shows exactly what we did
The tech
Automation & Integrations
Kill double-entry and manual toil. AI-enabled process automation, Xero automations, WorkflowMax integrations, and the glue between systems that don't talk — built once, properly, with error handling.
The pain
- Smart people doing dumb, repetitive work — re-keying, copy-paste, summarising by hand
- Drowning in documents and email; the information is there, but getting it out is manual
- Manual invoice coding, debtor chasing, and month-end reconciliation that eats days
- Job management and Xero don't talk — double entry and mismatched invoices
What we deliver
- Document intelligence — extract structured data from PDFs and contracts into a system or Xero
- Ask-your-documents assistants (RAG) over the client's own files, kept private
- Xero bank-rule and AR-follow-up automation, plus scheduled reporting
- Bidirectional WorkflowMax ↔ Xero sync — idempotent, with error alerting
- Human-in-the-loop on anything that goes out the door or changes records
The tech
Apps & Modernisation
Turn the business-critical spreadsheet — or the system only one person understands — into a real, auditable application. Documented first, migrated safely, no big-bang cutover.
The pain
- One workbook is the system of record — version chaos, broken formulas, overwrite conflicts
- No validation, no audit trail, no access control, no real backups
- Key-person risk: a critical process only one person understands, and they're leaving
- Old, unsupported or undocumented systems nobody dares touch
What we deliver
- Discovery & documentation that de-risks key-person exposure on its own
- The right-sized replacement — Microsoft Lists / Power Apps or a small web app
- Strangler-fig migration: new path alongside the old, cut over a slice at a time
- Validation, audit trail, access control and integration so the double-entry disappears
The tech
Websites & SEO
Fast, beautiful sites that get found — on our own Cloudflare / Vercel stack, with a care plan so they stay quick, secure and current.
The pain
- A slow, dated site that doesn't bring in work
- No idea what's working — no analytics wired in
- Built once, then left to rot and quietly break
- Invisible in local search
What we deliver
- Fast, edge-served sites built on Cloudflare and Vercel
- Optimised images and technical + local SEO so you get found
- Analytics wired in from day one so you can see what's working
- A care plan that keeps the site quick, secure and current
The tech
Smart Home & AI Cameras
Local-first AI security cameras and home automation — person and vehicle detection on-device, no cloud subscription, your footage stays on-site. We run this exact stack ourselves.
The pain
- Cloud cameras mean per-camera subscriptions and footage held by a third party
- Motion alerts that fire on every tree and cat — not "a person is here"
- A drawer of incompatible apps, nothing talks to anything
- Privacy and data-sovereignty concerns for homes and NZ businesses
What we deliver
- A local AI NVR with on-device person / vehicle / animal detection — no cloud sub
- Smart, low-false-positive alerts; searchable footage on your own storage
- Home Assistant as one local hub for lighting, security, energy and sensors
- Standards-based devices and secure remote access — no vendor lock-in
