Manawaroa offers one service: software development consulting. It covers seven kinds of work.
Most AI projects stall on old systems and messy data, and we have spent two decades inside both. So we fix the systems and the data first, then put AI into the work where it does the job reliably.
AI in your workflows
We look for the manual work that fills your week, such as reading documents, copying data between systems, and sorting incoming requests. We automate the steps where AI does the job reliably and leave the rest alone.
Connecting your systems
Most businesses run on several systems that do not talk to each other, so someone copies data between them by hand. We connect them, whether that means a modern API, a webhook, a file transfer, or an old system whose only way out is a nightly spreadsheet export.
We build each connection to report its own failures, so a broken sync gets noticed the same day instead of at month end. Connected systems are also what make AI useful, because a model can only work with data it can reach.
New custom software
Web applications and internal tools, built around how your business works when no off-the-shelf product fits.
Extending existing systems
New features and performance work on software already in production.
Modernizing legacy systems
Every business has one system nobody wants to touch, and it is usually the one holding the data AI needs. We start by working out what it actually does, what it costs to keep, and what replacing it would take. You get that as a written assessment you can act on with or without us.
Then we move it to code a current team can maintain. The business keeps running while we do it.
Support plans
Software needs looking after once it launches. A support plan covers the hosting, maintenance, and updates that keep it running, plus ongoing access to tools we provide, such as an AI assistant. You pay in advance, monthly or annually, and the plan renews until you cancel. Plan payments are not refunded.
To cancel a monthly plan, give us 30 days notice. The plan runs, and is billed, through the notice period. An annual plan runs to the end of the year you paid for. To stop it renewing, give us 30 days notice before the renewal date.
Stalled projects
If a project lost its developers or stopped moving, we can take it over. First we tell you whether finishing it costs less than starting again.
How pricing works
Project work is fixed-fee. We agree the fee with you in a written statement of work before any work starts, and we don't bill by the hour. We bill support plans in advance, monthly or annually. We set fees per project, so we don't publish a price list.
We reply within 3 business days.
