The command centre your business runs on.
One place you run the whole business from, built around how you actually work. Your systems connected, AI built in rather than bolted on, and 100+ modules already tailored to you, which is why it costs a fraction of an enterprise platform.
Sounds like you if you're stitching a dozen disconnected systems together by hand.
- Live in weeks, not a multi-year programme
- You own the data, the workflows and the IP, always
- Sovereign hosting in Aotearoa, and yours to keep
You've bought the systems. You're still the integration.
Every system holds part of the answer and none of them agree. The enterprise fix costs a fortune and still doesn't fit how you work. This is the other way.
A dozen systems
One command centre
Numbers that never quite agree
One version of the truth, from live data
A rip-and-replace programme, years and a fortune
Live in weeks, on the systems you already run
Rented SaaS you will never own
Your instance, your data and your IP, yours to keep
Chasing one number across every system
Ask once, and get one answer
The business stops living in twelve tabs. It runs from one.
Your own platform, and the team behind it.
- Your own platform instance, built around your workflows, your language and your people
- The AI that runs on it, with usage included in your retainer
- Integrations across the tools your team already uses
- Sovereign hosting in Aotearoa
- A named team who know your business
Miss the agreed go-live date and the retainer is free until we hit it.
Start with a sprint, one scoped build with a clear definition of done, or start on the Retainer and grow the platform month by month. A build is delivered work, never a setup fee, and either way the team keeps building after go-live.
One named build, then the platform grows around it.
Start on the RIVER Retainer, or with one of our platform solutions:
AI Command Centre
From $15,000
One place your business runs from. It replaces the SaaS sprawl, connects your data, and puts an AI brain on top - built around you and truly yours.
ERP Rescues & Integration
Your ERP runs the business and was not built for any of this. We make it intelligent rather than replacing it.
CRM Intelligence & Integration
Keep the CRM you run, or have it built into the platform. Updates automated, outreach that happens without chasing.
Member & Customer Portal
From $12,500
A secure portal your members or customers sign in to. Their information, requests and updates in one place.
| Band | Build | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| Team | From $15,000 | One function, core surfaces. |
| Multi-team | From $30,000 | Two or three functions, and several integrations. |
| Organisation | From $60,000 | Multi-region or multi-entity, with migration from the systems you run now. |
| Enterprise | Scoped | Multiple entities, regulated, or sovereign. |
A build starts from $15,000, and the band is set by size: how many people, how many sites, and how much is built around your own way of working. Every figure is a floor, because scope moves the number. Prices exclude GST.
The questions people ask when they’re ready to move.
Easy to start. Fast to prove. Built to scale.
Most people start with the Readiness Check: free, ten minutes, and it tells you where to start. Or ask Moana.

One Year On: New Zealand's AI Strategy in Practice
A year after 'Investing with Confidence' launched, what has the national AI strategy actually delivered, and what should NZ businesses do with the settings we've got?
Take
Australia Just Walked Away From Mandatory AI Guardrails. That Doesn't Mean What You Think.
Canberra shelved AI-specific legislation in favour of existing law, a safety institute, and adoption guidance. The compliance burden didn't disappear. It moved.
Teams like yours, in their own words.
