The right system, working, with AI only where it pays.

Most businesses already have the data. What goes wrong is systems that don't share it, reports nobody trusts, and AI bought before anyone named the problem it was for.

Where it leaks

Five places systems and AI go wrong.

These are questions you can ask of your own business. If you can't answer one, that is the place to start.

Reports nobody trustsIs there a number in the business that people check by hand because they don't believe the report?
Work done by hand every weekWhat does someone copy, paste or retype every week that a system could do?
Systems that don't share dataWhere is the same information entered twice, and what goes wrong when the two copies disagree?
A system chosen on featuresWas the last system chosen for how well it fits the way you work, or for the length of its feature list?
AI before the problemCan you name the specific decision or task AI would improve, and what it is worth if it works?

The answers show where a system or AI would pay and where it wouldn't. Both are worth knowing before you spend.

Where I've done it

The record behind this page.

IT Manager at EziBuy.
Led e-commerce platform selection at Briscoe Group.
For a product business, the person doing the planning had to pull together numerous data sources by hand, each with its own problems and inaccuracies. Built the whole flow, across six countries, and handed it over for them to run.
For a retailer, built a live planning system that tells them how much to buy and where to place it.

The first conversation

What the first 45 minutes covers.

You tell me which systems you run and where they let you down, and I tell you where I'd look first. When people don't trust a report, it's usually based on instinct. I drill down on the data and figure out what the real answer is. Then I fix the data and build reports you can believe. You get a one-page readback of where the money is most likely being lost. Any work after that is scoped with you before it starts.

FAQ

Questions

What does an AI consultant do for a New Zealand business?

Starts with where money is being lost and where data and AI will help, ranked by value, effort and risk. Then a plan. Then the first fix, often AI, made and put into use.

Will AI work for my business?

Not everywhere. The readback says where AI won't pay as clearly as where it will, so you only spend on the parts worth building.

Do you only work with retailers?

My background is retail, e-commerce and product businesses, so that is where I'm strongest. I also take on other businesses where I can help. If you're not sure you fit, tell me about your business and I'll say so straight.

What does it cost to get started?

The chat's free. After that my time costs money, and if the results don't come, you'll know why and we'll sort it out.
