Discovery and scope
An on-site or video visit and a written scope.
Services
Software built around how your business works.
We come into your business, learn how the work really flows, and build one connected system around it: your jobs, customers, stock, people and paperwork, all connected. A full system can be ready in under a week. We scope the work and quote it for your business.

Who it's for
Made for businesses that have outgrown spreadsheets.
If the business runs on spreadsheets, whiteboards and tools that don't talk to each other, we replace them with one system built around how you work.

Signs it's time
- Key information lives in spreadsheets, whiteboards or one person's head.
- The same details get entered into two or three tools.
- You pay for seats in several apps that barely talk to each other.
- Off-the-shelf software makes you work its way.
- Quotes, jobs or follow-ups slip through the gaps.

Done for you
Up and running, shaped to your business.
We design the whole system, build it, import your data and set up your team. Once it's installed, your staff log in to software that already fits how they work, and it stays up and running.
Designed around your workflow
Screens and steps match the way your team already works.
Data and people ready
Your records come across and everyone has the right access at launch.
Grows with you
Add fields, screens and apps as the business changes, with the built-in AI, with Claude, or with us.
Why it's this quick
Why a full system can be ready in under a week.
Bespoke software is usually slow and expensive because every change has to be made in several separate places, then reviewed and released. The same goes for doing it yourself with Claude, and you still have to host it. The Thogits engine does that work for every Thogits app, the app is hosted here, and you can connect Claude to write on top. The build time goes into what your business actually needs.
How the platform works →Typical app
Every change is a project
- Change the data in several places
- Update every screen to match
- Review and test it
- Release it
Thogits
Two steps per change
- Set up the data
- Design the screen
The Thogits engine handles the rest: saving, syncing, working offline and live updates on every device.
Questions, answered.
What happens on the discovery call?
The 30-minute call is free. We listen to how your business runs, and we scope the work and quote it for your business.
Is there a charge for the discovery visit and quote?
The discovery visit, the written scope and the quote are free, with no obligation.
How is the price set?
After the discovery visit you receive a written scope and a quote for your business. New ideas during the build are welcome. We quote them separately so you stay in control.
What does the subscription cost on top?
Your team pays the Thogits subscription of NZ$50 per seat per month, incl. GST. It covers every app in your workspace, hosting and updates, plus 10,000 records and 1 GB of storage per seat, shared across the team.
Can you import our existing data?
Yes. Every build imports your data from one source, such as a CSV or export.
Why not use Claude?
You can. The advantage is the engine and the hosting, not the AI. Connect Claude or the built-in builder and the app is live for your team straight away. On your own, Claude still has to get the whole stack right, and you still have to deploy it.
Can we change it ourselves later?
Yes. Ask the built-in AI, connect Claude or another agent, build new apps yourself, install recipes from the marketplace, or ask us.
Do you work outside Auckland?
We're based in Auckland and visit businesses across the city. Anywhere else in New Zealand, the discovery visit happens by video or on a planned trip.
What if we grow?
Add people and apps at any time. Every new person is a seat, and every app in the workspace is included.
