We've worked with enough operators in Whyalla 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.
For Whyalla operators who want a working pilot in weeks, not a year-long programme.
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

What's different about doing this work in Whyalla.
- Whyalla is a steel town rebuilding around green hydrogen and renewables, and its supplier base is retendering for work it has never done before.
- Steelworks, iron ore, and a large green energy transition pipeline. Local contractors are writing proposals for new industries, which has sharply increased the documentation load.
We work with teams across Whyalla: Whyalla Norrie · Whyalla Stuart · Whyalla Playford · Whyalla Jenkins.

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

What changes for Whyalla teams after this lands: the work that used to need a person stays done, the work that needs a person gets done with their attention undivided. Cuts data-entry labour by 80% on invoices, POs, and timesheets.
Not your typical AI agency.
Honest about what AI can and cannot do
Ships the one workflow that pays for itself
Hours given back, never the size of the invoice
*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.
FAQ
What's a typical engagement length for Whyalla 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.
Has this actually shipped for a real Whyalla?
Yes. Cuts data-entry labour by 80% on invoices, POs, and timesheets. We'll share comparable engagements on the call.
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.
