Your productivity time machine
Making AI work for businesses like yours
While many NZ SMEs have been slow to adopt new tech, the AI race has only just begun. With 77% of Kiwis using AI at home1 but 52% of SMEs still just figuring it out for business2, now is the perfect time to not only catch up, but pull ahead.
Till now, you've had two choices: complex enterprise solutions or generic consumer tools. Neither built for businesses like yours.
Meet Numa. Purpose-built for Kiwi SMEs, and powered by the new AWS NZ Region, it transforms your existing tools and data into an AI powerhouse that's up and running in days, not months. Benefits compound week on week, month on month, with local experts supporting you every step of the way. No IT department required.
“The businesses that lead on AI will be the ones Kiwis choose to engage with, work for and support.”

Why AI adoption can’t wait
The competitive advantage is building now
The shift is accelerating. While your competitors hesitate, early movers report 30-40% time savings on admin tasks and are already seeing big returns. There's still time to take the lead.
Your productivity multiplier
Most SMEs waste hours daily on disconnected tools and manual processes. Done right, AI excels at automating the repetitive work like meeting notes, proposals, follow-ups and contract reviews.
Unlock your data's hidden value
Your business data – documents, customer records, processes and institutional knowledge – is gold for AI tools. Modern platforms securely let your team access this intelligence through natural conversation, instantly upskilling everyone.
The numbers don't lie
With 74% of NZ SMEs planning to ramp up AI investment3, the question isn't whether to adopt AI, but how quickly you can implement it effectively. Strategic investment now creates compounding advantages that become harder for competitors to match.
