Use cases by business type

Start with one real problem, then build from there.

These examples show how practical automation can help local Hawke’s Bay businesses reply faster, capture enquiries and reduce admin work without starting with a huge software project.

Salons, clinics and appointment businesses

Customers ask about availability, prices, appointments and reminders while your team is busy with clients.

ProblemMessages are answered late, bookings are handled manually and follow-ups are easy to forget.
AutomationAI chatbot answers common questions, booking automation collects details and sends confirmations or reminders.
OutcomeMore enquiries become booking opportunities, customers get faster replies and your team spends less time on admin.
Recommended service: Automated Bookings + AI Chatbot
Real exampleExample: a client asks for Friday availability. The system replies with available times, captures name and phone, sends a confirmation and notifies your team.

Manual admin cost estimator

See what one repeated task may be costing each month.

The visitor chooses real inputs: how often the task happens, how long it takes and the hourly cost of the person doing it. The saving estimate uses an internal 70% automation reduction example, not a guarantee.

Times the task happens per week40x
Average minutes per task8 min
Hourly cost of the person doing itNZ$35/h

Estimated monthly impact

This shows the current manual time/cost first, then the estimated portion that automation could reduce.

Manual hours/month23.1h
Manual cost/monthNZ$808
Potential time reduced16.2h
Potential value reducedNZ$566

This is an estimate only. Actual results depend on your workflow, tools, enquiry volume and how much of the task can be automated.

You do not need a huge AI project to start saving time.

eDigital360 is positioned for small local businesses that want practical automations first. Start with one task, prove the value, then improve the system over time.

Best for businesses that want a fast, affordable starting point without changing every tool they use.

  • AI chatbot or booking workflow
  • Clear fixed setup price
  • Built around existing tools
  • Good for local lead capture

Custom business automation

Best when the business has more complex processes, multiple tools or needs a tailored workflow.

  • Workflow mapping and integrations
  • CRM, sheets, forms and email routing
  • Custom logic and reporting
  • Monthly support and optimisation
How we work

05

How pricing works

Setup builds the system. Monthly care keeps it working.

The setup price covers the initial audit, planning, build, integrations, testing and handover. After launch, the monthly care plan covers monitoring, fixes, updates and ongoing improvements, so your automation does not get forgotten after it goes live.

1Fixed setup fee: build the first version of the automation based on your workflow.
2Monthly care plan: maintain, monitor and improve the system as your business changes.
3Clear scope: complex tools, extra integrations or advanced logic may increase the setup cost.
What affects the price

Simple automations cost less. Custom systems need more build time.

Pricing depends on how many steps the process has, which tools need to connect, how much custom logic is required and whether the system needs ongoing reporting, AI training or multi-channel support.
