Paperless manufacturing.
Enter it once. It's everywhere.

Running the workshop without paper job sheets, re-typed cut lists or the same information keyed into several systems. Each customer, job, cut list, purchase order and timesheet is entered once — or read from an email or PDF by AI — and flows automatically to the CAD, ERP, accounting and payroll systems that need it. No repeated manual entries and no duplicate records. It is the core idea behind everything Autovibe builds.

Autovibe is the technology partner of PM International (PMI), the New Zealand manufacturing and joinery consultancy. Autovibe builds and runs the AI, ERP and integration technology behind the work PMI delivers to manufacturers and joinery businesses across New Zealand and Australia. You can work with Autovibe directly, or through PMI.

On our modelling, usually inside the first six months, and often a good deal sooner. The arithmetic is simple enough to check: one employee getting back five hours a week at $42 an hour is 240 hours and about $10,080 a year, from one person. Each connector is scoped and built as its own project during a free Automation Audit, so the build cost is quoted for your systems specifically rather than published as one number. Once it is running, hosting and support is billed weekly or fortnightly — ask us for pricing on that call. The savings calculator gives you your own numbers in about two minutes.

No. Your accounting, customer, payroll and job systems stay exactly as they are, and your team keeps working the way they already know. Autovibe sits behind them and moves information between them. There is no migration, no retraining and no risk of losing your history.

That is not what we are selling, and not what we would recommend. What goes away is the typing, the chasing and the re-keying that nobody enjoys and nobody was hired to do. The people stay and take on the work that actually needs a person: customers, judgement calls and growth. The businesses we design for use this to avoid the next hire rather than to reduce the team they have — if headcount reduction is your goal, we are probably not the right fit.

Very little. We roll out in stages while your team keeps working normally, and nothing gets switched off until the replacement has been tested and your staff are comfortable with it. Most rollouts are fully running within three to six weeks, and we give you an estimated timeline in the proposal. You will not need to stop trading for a single day.

That is exactly the case we built the company around. Plenty of businesses depend on older or niche software that other providers decline to touch. We work with whatever safe route exists, whether that is scheduled file transfers, document capture, email processing or a purpose-built bridge. We will also tell you honestly when something is not worth automating rather than sell you a fragile workaround.

Keeping it all working, without you thinking about it: continuous monitoring, maintenance, and fixes when a software provider makes routine changes at their end. No per-transaction charges and no usage limits. Routine fixes are included in the fee. If a provider withdraws its API or changes it so much that a connector has to be rebuilt, we quote that work before we start.

No. There is no fixed term. Hosting and support is billed weekly or fortnightly, and you can cancel at any time by written notice. Your connectors stop when the cancellation takes effect, and the current billing period is not refunded. The connector setup is quoted and agreed before work starts, so you know the cost upfront — the setup fee is non-refundable, the same as any commissioned project. We would rather keep your business by continuing to save you money than by trapping you in a term.

Yes. We avoid storing your data and only keep it where an integration requires it. Anything we do store is held on secure cloud infrastructure in the Australia and New Zealand region, encrypted both in transit and at rest, with a 99.9% platform uptime target. We operate as a data processor under the NZ Privacy Act 2020 and only hold information for as long as a task requires it.

A free Automation Audit — a 30 to 45 minute call, with no obligation. We look at your current systems, including specialist CAD/CAM and production software with no public API, identify where the hours and money are going, and tell you what could realistically be automated and what it would cost to build. You keep that assessment whether you go ahead or not. If it is not worth doing, we will say so.
