For Hervey Bay operators who want a working pilot in weeks, not a year-long programme.

We've worked with enough operators in Hervey Bay to know that the brief that arrives in our inbox is rarely the brief that ends up shipped. The first thing we do on any AI document processing project is sit with your team for a day before we propose anything.

What AI document processing actually does

Scanned invoices, signed contracts, handwritten timesheets, PDF specs - extracted into clean data and routed where they belong. No more typing what someone already wrote.

  • 01 Vision models read scans, photos, and handwriting
  • 02 Pushes structured data into Xero, your CRM, or sheets
  • 03 Confidence flags route low-certainty docs to a human
  • 04 Handles te reo, bilingual forms, and old NZ templates

Built on: Claude Vision AWS Textract Mistral OCR Vercel

The Hervey Bay context, plainly.

  • Hervey Bay is tourism, retirement and health on the Fraser Coast, with an older customer base that still calls rather than clicks.
  • Whale watching and Fraser Island tourism, aged care, health services and the trades servicing steady inbound migration. Phone volume is the constraint for most local operators.

We work with teams across Hervey Bay: Pialba · Urangan · Torquay · Scarness · Maryborough.

How we build AI document processing for a Hervey Bay team.

We scope narrow, ship a working pilot, then harden it into production. The first slice is the highest-leverage workflow for your Hervey Bay business, so value lands before the build is finished. AI for paperwork.

FAQ

What's a typical engagement length for Hervey Bay businesses?

Six to twelve weeks for the build, then a short managed-services month while the system goes from "shipped" to "owned by your team". After that you keep us on retainer if you want, or take it from there yourself.

Do you do hourly billing or fixed price?

Fixed price for the pilot, every time. After that it's your call - fixed price per milestone or a small monthly retainer for ongoing iteration. We don't run open-ended T&M because it disincentivises us from finishing.

Can you walk us through a comparable build?

Yes - on the first call we'll pick the closest engagement we've shipped to what you're describing and walk through the outcome, the headcount and the time it took. Cuts data-entry labour by 80% on invoices, POs, and timesheets.

Can you work with our existing systems?

Yes. The default AI document processing stack we reach for is Claude Vision, AWS Textract, Mistral OCR, Vercel, but we'll bend it around whatever you already run - Xero, HubSpot, Shopify, Cin7, your own in-house apps. The discovery week maps every data source before any build starts.

The honest version of a sales call.

No deck. No discovery doc. Just whether this is worth building and what it would cost.
