Request a Free Audit →Quick time and cost estimator
This calculator shows the monthly cost of doing one repeated task manually, then estimates the time and money that could be reduced if automation handles part of that task.
You choose real business inputs: how often the task happens, how long it usually takes and the hourly cost of the person doing it. The estimate then shows the current manual cost and the potential value automation could help reduce.
Why this service starts at NZ$790
The setup fee covers the work required to make the automation useful for your real business process, not just a generic template.
What the setup fee includes
We review your workflow, plan the automation, build the system, connect the required tools, test it and hand it over so your team knows how it works.
Why monthly care may be needed
Automations depend on tools, platforms and business rules. A care plan keeps the system monitored, updated and improved as your business changes.
Questions before getting started
Simple answers for business owners considering automation for the first time.
Can it connect to my calendar?
In many cases, yes. The exact setup depends on the calendar and booking tools you use.
Can customers book from Instagram?
You can route social enquiries into a booking flow or form depending on your platform access and setup.
Will it stop double bookings?
The system can be designed to reduce double-booking risk, especially when connected to a proper calendar or booking tool.
Can reminders be sent automatically?
Yes. Reminders can be sent by email, SMS or other channels depending on the tools selected.
Is this only for appointments?
No. It can also support consultation requests, quote requests and call-back requests.
