A dozen systems. One command centre.
The AI-first command centre your business runs on. One place, built around how you actually work, that replaces the SaaS sprawl, connects your data, and puts an AI brain on top.
Sounds like you if you pay for a dozen systems that don't talk, and still stitch the business together by hand.
- Replaces the SaaS sprawl, connects your data
- Tailored from 100+ proven modules, live in weeks
- Sovereign hosting in Aotearoa, and yours to keep
You bought the tools. You still run the business by hand.
Every subscription solved one problem and left another: another login, another version of the truth, another export someone reconciles by hand. The command centre is the opposite - one place, your data reconciled, the AI on top - and your data, workflows and IP stay yours.
Your stack today
With RIVER
A dozen subscriptions, and none of them talk.
One place, your systems connected and reconciled.
The real numbers live in an export someone rebuilds each week.
One trusted view you can just ask, current to the minute.
On your data, in your cloud, and never used to train a model.
Every new need means another SaaS seat and another silo.
New capability added to your command centre, not another tool to buy.
Your people copy data between systems all day.
The routine runs itself, with a human on the loop.
An enterprise platform is a multi-year, multi-million project.
Tailored from proven modules, so it lands in weeks at a fraction of the cost.
The tools go quiet. The business runs from one place.
Quick wins first. The command centre in stages.
We don't sell you the whole platform on day one. Quick wins, then workflows and agents running unattended, then the command centre the business runs on - each stage live and paying off before the next.
One place, one source of truth
It starts with your systems agreeing and one place to ask. Connect what you run, reconcile the data, and get a single view anyone can just ask.
6 systems connected · last sync 2m ago
Six systems flowing into one command centre, reconciled every 5 minutes - no exports, no copy-paste, no overnight batch.
Then it does the work
On that foundation, the routine runs itself and agents handle whole workflows unattended - you see the exceptions, not the busywork.
One order, four systems updated, no one re-keying it. Exceptions still route to a human.
You don't start from scratch. The command centre is mostly built.
RIVER is over 100 prebuilt modules on Catalyst, 15+ years of IP - so your command centre is tailored in weeks, not a multi-year rebuild. Because roughly 80% of it already exists in Catalyst, it costs a fraction of an enterprise platform, and it's built to pass the procurement review that comes next.
Everything a procurement or legal team needs is in our Trust Centre
- 100% New Zealand built, Māori and Pacific owned, under New Zealand law.
- You own your data, your workflows and your IP - always, not at the end of a term.
- Sovereign hosting in Aotearoa, with the security documentation a procurement review asks for.
Our business runs on what RIVER built. They have been central to our technology and our growth, and it keeps driving results.
