Who it’s for
Built for the businesses that run Hamilton.
Agritech & food processing
Hamilton produces most of NZ’s agritech revenue — Waikato Milking Systems, Rezare Systems, NDA Group and the 70+ tenants of Waikato Innovation Park. The work here is customer and dealer portals, order systems, IoT-data dashboards, and ERP/CRM integrations.
Advanced manufacturing & engineering
Food machinery, metal fabrication and equipment makers (the Longveld tier) are still quoting and tracking stock in spreadsheets. They get custom quoting and inventory tools, freight and Xero integrations, and the automation to stop the double-handling.
Logistics & the Ruakura Superhub
The 263-hectare Ruakura Inland Port is bringing in warehousing, freight and light-industrial operators — new businesses that need dispatch and booking systems, freight integrations and internal tools from day one, not a year in.
Private healthcare & professional services
Clinics around Waikato Hospital, plus accountants, law firms and consultancies: online booking, secure patient and client portals, payments, and the local SEO to actually get found.
Tourism & hospitality
The Waikato visitor economy — Hobbiton, Waitomo, Raglan, Hamilton Gardens, lodges and holiday parks — runs on real booking engines and multi-channel integrations, not a form that drops into a shared inbox.
Producers & premium retail
Waikato food producers and specialty retailers around The Base and Te Awa: a Shopify build wired to stock, shipping and accounting so nobody re-types an order by hand.
What we solve
The problems that cost you the most are the ones a template can’t reach.
A brochure site from the WordPress era
Plenty of Hamilton sites sit on aging template stacks — slow, not mobile-first, thin on schema and local SEO. It looks fine on screen and does nothing for the business.
Quoting and orders live in spreadsheets
Agritech, manufacturing and logistics firms run quoting, ordering and inventory by hand when Xero, freight, CRM and dealer portals could talk to each other. Every hand-off is a chance to fat-finger a number.
No real e-commerce or booking
Producers, tourism operators and retailers without a proper Shopify or booking engine lose sales to phone, email and third-party marketplaces that take a cut.
Nowhere near AI-ready
Little structured content, no internal tooling, no AI in the workflow. In an agritech city that’s curious about it, the firms that set this up first get a real head start.
The difference
You talk to the person who writes the code.
Plenty of shops will build you a page and move on. Fewer can build the software behind it — the booking flow, the integration, the internal tool a growing Hamilton business runs on.
Tally Digital is a single senior engineer. Every project is hand-coded on a modern stack, every integration is real, and the code is yours to keep. No junior hand-off, no page-builder lock-in, no “who supports this now?”.
- Custom software, not templates
- Real API & booking integrations
- Modern stack — Next.js, Sanity, Supabase, Shopify
- You own the code and the accounts

FAQ
Questions, answered.
- Do you work with Hamilton and wider Waikato businesses?
- Yes. Tally Digital is a New Zealand software studio working with Hamilton and Waikato businesses remotely, and on-site when it helps. Same process wherever you are: clear scope, you talk to the engineer directly, and you own the code.
- Do you build agritech, manufacturing and logistics software and integrations?
- Yes — dealer and customer portals, order and quoting systems, IoT and data dashboards, dispatch tools, and integrations to Xero, freight, inventory and CRM. It’s the bulk of what we do for Waikato makers and the operators setting up at Ruakura.
- Can you integrate my website with Xero, inventory or our CRM?
- Yes. API and system integrations are most of the job — Xero, inventory and ERP, freight, HubSpot, dealer portals — so your website feeds the systems you already run instead of someone copying data between them.
- Are you a designer, a marketing agency, or a developer?
- A senior software engineer. Custom software, applications and integrations — not templates, not a monthly marketing retainer. You talk to the person who designs and writes the code, every time.
- How much does a project cost?
- It depends on scope — a focused website is a different job from a custom portal or an integration project. Rather than quote blind, we work through your actual problem first and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
